Desalinization and Future Water Supply in the United States
Because of the United States' explosive population rise and great expansion of industry and irrigation with their great thirst for water, it was prudent for the government to search for new sources of freshwater and to choose conversion, or desalinization, for study because of its tremendous potential. The article discusses the technical challenges of sea water conversion, brackish water conversion, and presents several alternative approaches to expanding water supplies besides conversion that include: reduction of evaporation from impoundments; weather modification; more efficient use of water in agriculture, public supply, and industry; reuse of water; water pollution control; more storage, both above and below ground surface; and, watershed management.
