the current water shortage on Oahu. For the purpose of this paper‚ our group has chosen to discuss what we believe to be the top three most feasible technological solutions. 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 for millions

desalination of water water‚ desalination of‚ process of removing soluble salts from water to render it suitable for drinking‚ irrigation‚ or industrial uses. The principal methods used for desalination include distillation (or evaporation)‚ electrodialysis‚ freezing‚ ion exchange‚ and reverse osmosis. In distillation saltwater is heated in one container to make the water evaporate‚ leaving the salt behind. The desalinated vapor is then condensed to form water in a separate container. Although long

However‚ because we have made it more available‚ we have developed issues that waste our good clean water‚ take old pipes that have been used to transport water across cities for example. Because they are so old‚ they tend to waste about 7 billion gallons of water every day (CQ Report‚ 2010‚ p.531). And
