Making salt
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. |

members section of itisfast.com web site. Material
needed for experiment may be found at home or obtained locally. |
