Seawater Conversion Vessel to Be Studied as Environmentally Responsible Alternative to Land Based Desalination.Unanimous Vote by Water Management District on California's Central Coast MONTEREY, Calif. -- Water Standard CompanySM, developers of the Seawater seawater Water that makes up the oceans and seas. Seawater is a complex mixture of 96.5% water, 2.5% salts, and small amounts of other substances. Much of the world's magnesium is recovered from seawater, as are large quantities of bromine. Conversion Vessel (SCV SCV Santa Clarita Valley (California) SCV Sons of Confederate Veterans SCV Santa Clara Vanguard SCV Singapore Cable Vision SCV Special Category Visa (Australia) SCV StarHub Cable Vision ) announced that the Monterey Peninsula The Monterey Peninsula in central California comprises the cities of Monterey, Carmel, Pacific Grove, some unincorporated area of Monterey County and the private community of Pebble Beach.

or desalting Removal of dissolved salts from seawater and from the salty waters of inland seas, highly mineralized groundwaters, and municipal wastewaters. in the effort to provide a permanent solution to the decreasing availability of fresh water around the globe. The Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) board of directors voted unanimously to add the SCV to its matrix as an alternative water source following a presentation by project manager Skip Griffin. The MPWMD manages, augments, and protects the production of water from the Carmel River stored in the San Clemente and Los Padres Reservoirs and ground water pumped from municipal and private wells in Carmel Valley and the Seaside Coastal Area. Also on the list of possible supplemental water sources are aquifer storage and recovery and land based desalination projects. Water Standard CompanySM has spent the last six years designing the SCV to be the most environmentally responsible and cost effective desalination system available. Numerous California water districts are facing severe water shortages today and in the coming years, many are investing millions of dollars to explore desalination. Water Standard Company'sSM Seawater Conversion Vessel is the most efficient, cost effective, and fastest to operational readiness supplemental water source available. One SCV is capable of serving several communities at once, eliminating the need for multiple desalination plants along the California coast. Founded by Florida-based entrepreneur, Andrew Gordon, Water Standard CompanySM is dedicated to providing a permanent solution to the decreasing availability of fresh water around the globe. Through the design and construction of Seawater Conversion Vessels (SCV), Water Standard CompanySM provides a steady and reliable supply of water, on-demand, worldwide. The environmentally responsible process of open ocean desalination has been designed to minimize impacts to the marine ecosystem, on-land aquifers and rivers to recharge, and ultra clean air emissions.
