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
