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

Chemistry Honors Which Type of Water is the Hardest? Hardness is the quality in water that is imparted by the presence of dissolved salts‚ especially calcium and magnesium. Hardness refers to how many mineral particles there are in water. The harder the water is‚ higher the contents of minerals. A geologist is a person who specialized in geologic research and study; a hydrologist is a geologist that studies the circulation‚ distribution‚ and properties of the waters of the earth and its atmosphere

How Important is Water?As we all know‚ water is essential for mankind ’s survival. However‚ people seem to believe that our water supply is endless since there is more water than land on this Earth. Water regenerates and is redistributed through evaporation‚ making it seem endlessly renewable. So why worry?Actually‚ only one percent of the world ’s water has the capability of being used by us. About ninety-seven percent is salty seawater‚ and two percent is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.
