2010‚ p.533). Before we know it we will have more unusable water than we do useable and our resource will simply vanish unless we develop a technique to change that. Therefore we ought to make our water shortage a nationwide concern and promote desalination to broaden our water range. Before getting into that‚ let’s take a look at the background and current situation of our water supply. In 1860 our first water lines were laid to wash garbage out of public streets and as it began appearing in other

They suggested that different materials are used in basin solar still to improve the heat capacity‚ radiation absorption capacity and condensation rate. Kalidasa Murugavel at.al [3]

In order of current usability they are; 1. Water recycling 2. Desalination 3. OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) Water Recycling Water recycling here on Oahu is an important part of ensuring a sustainable water supply for future generations. Through the natural water cycle‚ the earth has recycled and reused water

Global water shortage where will this lead to? Water is getting scarce and there are currently nearly a billion people around the world in need of sufficient water‚ this equals with about 1/6 of the world’s population. Although we thought that wars were caused mostly by religious disagreements and to prevent dictatorships etc.‚ the future wars are now influenced not only by those conflicts but by our natural resources’ scarcity and thereby lead to society collapses. It is getting increasingly

man-made products like gasoline‚ oil‚ road salts‚ and chemicals get into the groundwater and cause it to become dangerous for us to use. The state of California can prevent groundwater depletion by harvesting stormwater‚ reusing water‚ and seawater desalination. Instead of taking groundwater David Sedlak claims that we should harvest stormwater. Even though it is not a very reliable source since it hardly ever rains in California we can slowly collect the water to refill our aquifers back up. We can

Firstly‚ this report will consider the background to this problem and then it will compare and analyze two water provision methods in Africa‚ desalination and dams. Finally‚ this report will offer some recommendations. 2.0 Background Water is not only a physical resource: in every culture it is spread among social‚ spiritual‚ political and environmental meanings.
