The Kimberley Water Source Project is currently under way in Australia to determine the best method of transporting water from the Fitzroy River to the city of Perth. Options being considered include a 3,700-kilometre canal, a pipeline of at least 1,800 kilometres, tankers of 300,000 to 500,000 tonnes, and water bags each carrying between 0.5 ...
Human effort is used through a pole pushing against the bottom of shallow water, or paddles or oars operating in the surface of the water. Wind power is used by sails; Towing is used, either from the land, such as the bank of a canal, with the motive power provided by draught animals, humans or machinery, or one watercraft may tow another.
Heavily armoured vehicles however sometimes have a density greater than water (their weight in kilograms exceeds their volume in litres) and will need additional buoyancy, in the form of inflatable floatation devices, much like the sides of a rubber dinghy, or a waterproof fabric skirt raised from the top perimeter of the vehicle, to increase ...
A water-fuelled car is an automobile that hypothetically derives its energy directly from water.Water-fuelled cars have been the subject of numerous international patents, newspaper and popular science magazine articles, local television news coverage, and websites.

The pressure the is more important for structural and physiological reasons than linear depth. Pressure at a given depth may vary due to variations in water density. To express the linear depth in water accurately, the measurement should be in meters (m). The unit “meters of sea water” (msw) is a by definition a unit for measurement of ...
The WaterCar Panther design is solely based on a Jeep compact SUV. [4] The vehicle is constructed from lightweight steel for the chassis and fiberglass for the body. [5] The WaterCar Panther has a top speed of 85 miles per hour (137 km/h) on land and 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) on the water. [6]
