The Nymphaea Water project, led by Pierre Becker, aims to extract drinking water from the Mediterranean Sea by locating freshwater springs on the seabed. The team uses advanced technology, including infrared cameras and satellite positioning, to identify springs by measuring salinity and thermal differences. If successful, this project could provide an alternative to desalination for countries facing water shortages. The crew meticulously prepares for the mission, utilizing ROVs to explore and document the springs, which are fed by karst aquifers beneath the sea floor.
