Desalination Reports Samples For Students

1.0 Introduction
Categorically, there are approximations that nearly 30% of the overall globe land area comprises of occupied arid and semi-arid areas. Most importantly, water shortages prevent both economic and social development of the mentioned arid and semi-arid regions of the world. The cited economic and social development gets held back because they significantly rely on continuous water supply resources. Due to the constant and continuous interruption of the aquifers (V.E.A, 2005, p.122), the freshwater challenge gets motivated, because, the mentioned water is increasingly becoming salty. The report, therefore, aims at evaluating the feasibility of providing fresh water ...

Report Assessing the Feasibility of different Techniques for providing Fresh Water to Arid Regions
1.0 Introduction
The challenge of sustainable water supply and management in arid areas is magnified by the climatic condition of these regions. The areas often experience a period of six rainless months every year. The areas also experience low and unpredictable annual precipitation of around 100 to 500mm per year as well as extreme potential evaporation (Bunn et al. 2006, p.174). The impact of climate change primarily affects the amount of fresh water supply in arid regions. There is a substantial decrease ...

1.0 Introduction
Water is an important component of life and without it life on earth will be non-existent. About ¾ of this planet is made up of water and it is a surprise, therefore, to find out that more than a billion people do not have access to clean water. According to the United Nations, the uneven distribution of water is endangering an increasing number of people although there is enough water in the planet to supply its entire population (2014). This situation is particularly true in areas that are classified as arid regions or regions with precipitation characterized as low, ...

Introduction

Water is one the most valuable resources in the whole world. For every country to be able to support ecosystem and for a successful socio-economic development, there must exist water. Countries in arid land such as Kuwait find it very difficult to get this most valuable resource and have to go the extra mile to get water (Howard, 2014). The most common method of water provision in Kuwait is through the underground water and desalination process. This paper is set to analyzing the two provision methods to find out what impact they have in terms of cost and how they ...

I. Introduction
Research on potential futures for the earth has suggested that in the future, clean, fresh, potable water will be as important if not more valuable than oil is today. The future of the world and of humanity is very dependent upon water; although much of the planet is covered in water, the vast majority of it is contained within Earth’s oceans, making it undrinkable in its current state. In recent years, the global community has come to recognize that access to fresh and potable water will become an issue in the relatively near future, and ...

- Introductory Information
Fresh Water shortage is a serious concern in arid regions of the world which are defined as dry, sandy regions where rainfall is rare and suffers from sparse vegetation and extreme temperatures. With 80% of the arid regions having serious droughts and nearly 40% of the population of this world residing these regions this is a serious issue transpiring (Prudhomme, 2002). High intensity and less rainfall increases crisis of water as wetlands, reservoirs and river get empty. Global warming adds to the uncertainty in these regions over the availability of water in future. It is becoming evident ...

Abstract

Access and availability of portable water supplies in arid and semi-arid areas of the world is quickly becoming a large problem. Notably, these semi-arid and arid regions only have the least amount of annual precipitation and account for 2% of the entire global runoff. Water is and will always be the most important resource in the world. This report will investigate the feasibility of different techniques for providing fresh water in the arid and semi arid regions of Liberia.

1.0 Introduction
Water is undoubtedly one of the most abundant elements on our planet. It is present in all areas of the world either as liquid, solid or gas. It does not diminish the fact, however, that fresh water is relatively rare, and its shortage in certain areas may have long-lasting negative economic, social and ecological consequences. Human body may survive without food for up to sixty days, yet absence of water may lead to death from dehydration within 6 days, in certain arid and hot areas – within just 2 days, and lack of peoper drinking water may ...

Executive summary:

Water scarcity is one of the most discussed topic globally especially in the Gcc countries where water has become scarce causing a lot to these countries. Scientists and researchers are continuing looking for solutions where they argue that replacement of the current resources is an important strategy and policy making for soil making and water is highly needed. In the worst scenario, the Arabian Gulf and the Middle East countries are expected to fall under physical water scarcity by 2025.

Executive Summary

As a community group based in Melbourne, Australia, we firmly believe that the Australian federal and the corresponding state government, as well as the stakeholders involved in the construction of the Wonthaggi Desalination plant have been transparent and cooperative enough to merit the trust not only of our group but also of the entire Australian community. We are an environmental community group that is not driven by self-interests despite knowing how having the Wonthaggi Desalination plant unbreakably established in the marine flora and fauna rich shorelines of Australia could help reduce the federation’s residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural sectors’ ...

Executive Summary

As an environmental community group based in Melbourne, Australia, we firmly oppose the construction as well as the maintenance of operations in one of the major coastlines of Australia. We are an environmental community group that is not driven by self-interests despite knowing how having the Wonthaggi Desalination plant unbreakably established in the marine flora and fauna rich shorelines of Australia could help reduce the federation’s residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural sectors’ apprehension to expand. Egoism played a big role in the federal and state governments’ decision to support the project despite knowing the different moral, ethical, and even ...

1. Introduction
Libya is counted amongst the driest nations throughout the world, where only their narrow coastal area gets precipitation above 100 mm annually. As a country, Libya has faced several historical challenges in terms of managing the increasing water demand as they suffer from water scarcity. Apart from the deficiencies in water supply, there have been instances reported for pollution in the water supply. It is apparent that water scarcity is apparent in Libya, especially in the coastal areas which are highly populated areas that causes major pressure on environmental, economic and social levels. Within Libya, concentrated of ...

Report Assessing the Feasibility of Different Techniques for Providing Fresh Water to Arid Regions of the World

Introduction
Howard, Xin, and Mathias (2010) suggest that approximately 30 percent of the whole land in the world comprises arid and semi-arid areas inhabited by several populations of the world. The authors continue on the same note by asserting that the main challenge to the social and economic development of these arid regions of the world is the acute shortage of water, necessary for the development of various sectors within the society. The impediment results from the fact that the development of the economy has significant dependence on the availability of water in the regions. Sound development of ...
