Compare And Contrast Any Two Possible Solutions Of Desalination Buildings

Decent Essays

However, this is very expensive and our city could not afford to do this. Another possibility is to educate the kids and the adults so they do not waste water. Another solution is to protect existing water supplies like underground supplies and take steps to prevent them becoming polluted. Also, recycled water could be used for irrigating farms.

    The Lake Atitlan towns need to stop pouring polluted water into the lake. Trash should be brought to the dump instead of washed into the water and pipes should not stream sewage into the lake. While it is a bit helpful that peasants are trying to clean the water by straining out the sludge with cloths and trucking away the pollution, it doesn’t stop the problem at the source. The best solution would be to rebuild the sewage treatment plant that was destroyed and possibly build more because putting on a Band-Aid doesn’t stop a wound from hurting. The community needs to also be cautious and mindful about where…
