Abstract

The invention relates to a device for tapping at least one undersea freshwater spring that comprises: an housing (110) surrounded by salt water and isolating an amount of water above at least one freshwater spring; a sensor (150, 152, 155) for sensing the depth of an interface (170) between the freshwater and the salt water inside said housing; and a means (145) for controlling said depth and adapted for controlling the flow rate of at least one pump (125) for pumping freshwater above said interface depending on said depth, wherein said control means is adapted for maintaining the depth of said interface underneath the outlet of at least one freshwater spring.
