Water scarcity is one of the [[major civilization problems of our time]] (time of writing 2025). 
Atomically precis manufacturing and technology ([[gem-gum-tech]]) could potentially completely neutralize this civilization problem. 

There are three aspects:
* desalination facilities
* energy for the desalination
* transport of the water to where it is needed (often far inland)

== Desalination ==

There are several ways to do this.

Most primitive one being boiling and re-condensing. 
Even this one could be hugely improved upon by 
using high efficiency thermal recuperation (both ways). 
See: [[Diamondoid heat pump system]] 

A major one being high pressure reverse osmosis. 
APM will be good at making optimal fractal shape filters with optimal size and shape pores 
while providing more than enough mechanical stability to deal with high pressure. 

More advanced even: Binding the salt ions and releasing them in a controlled 
highly energetically reversible fashion using [[electromechanochemistry]]. 

Since this is water centric technology integration of 
non-diamondoid foladamer based nanotechnologies (eventually beyond natures proteins) 
into a gem-based matrix may yield the highest efficiencies. 

{{wikitodo|More options?}}

[[APM]] will allow to improve on these individually and 
combine the best of these in fancy ways. 

== Energy for desalination ==

Covered elsewhere on this wiki. 
[[Gem based APM]] will improve upon and open up many non-fossile options. 
See: [[Energy harvesting]]

== Transport ==

Basically underdroiund piplines or more fancy "water tubemeail" where 
water is packaged to reduce the already low flow friction even further. 
Transport could easily reach far inland all the way to the centers of continents. 
Transport meshes could grow dense decentralized or even distributed and with that 
* extremely high capacity Rivalling (and even exceeding) the amount of water evaporated and in-air-transported by natural weather systems
* highly damage resilient to natural catastrophes and intentional malicious attack.

[[Gem based APM]] will largely improve on 
[[Underground working]] and [[Underground transport and habitation]]. 
Making building and maintaining the infrastructure for 
safe resilient large capacity underground long range transport possible. 

Pipeline and or "water tubemail" transport caold happen in parallel / bundeled with / alongside:
* The [[global microcomponent redistribution network]]
* The [[lithospheric mesh]] and other [[geoengineering mesh]]es
