water potable, removal of pollutants

| Introduction:
Water is the most
basic and fundamental components of life. Yet, only 1%
of the Earth's water is fresh water. This small amount
is becoming more inadequate, particularly in certain
geographic areas of the world and in high-density
population areas due to pollution and shortages of
rainfall . Desalinating seawater has long been
considered as a solution to the world's current and
future water problem. But desalination has been costly
and un-affordable in places where it is most needed.
|
 |
Desalination plants around the
world today produce more than several billion gallons of water
per day. However, the demand for water continues to exceed the
available supply.
Scientists continue to
research an methods of desalination and their efficiency. |

Project
description:
In this project you will perform experiments to make fresh water
from salt water. You may construct your desalination system from
material that can be found at home or obtained locally. You may
also perform some calculations to estimate the final cost of
desalinated water with your system. |
