1. DESALINATION OF SALTWATER

2. INTRO Out of 7 billion people, 1 billion of them still do not have clean water to drink. Mostly 2 nd and 3 rd world problems due to unsafe water filters, etc… Many of us take advantage of water, but really to it is a privilege.

3. BACKGROUND According to United States Government, 71% of earth is water! Just only 3% of that water is Freshwater. 68% of it is stuck in Glaciers. What if we could create a de-salting water filter? Many ideas have tried to solve this problem, but failed. The world waste 365 Trillion Gallons of Water each year. 11 trillion is wasted landscaping, that’s enough for 300 million American house-holds. According to National Geographic, America Wastes the most water out of any country!

4. NEW IDEAS Many New Ideas have been popping up, but a new very interesting idea has caught my attention: Salt Water Converter 5 Hour Energy owner has created a new, very efficient way to convert salt water to fresh water.

5. SO WHAT IS DESALINATION Desalination or desalinization is a process that removes minerals from saline water. More generally, desalination may also refer to the removal of salts and minerals, as in soil desalination, which also happens to be a major issue for agricultural production.

6. DESALINATION Desalination could be the future of all of our water supply. I mean, desalination is basically and unlimited amount of water. Of this vast volume of water, NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center estimates that 321,003,271 cubic miles is in the ocean. That's enough water to fill about 352,670,000,000,000,000,000 gallon-sized milk containers!

7. DROUGHTS The world is 71% water and 96.5% is salt. The droughts in California would end if there was a sufficient desalination machine. All of our water problems in the world would be over. Including ours in our state, Utah. Most of our students at Wasatch that have taken my survey were aware of the drought in Utah. We are most likely going to have water shortages this summer in Heber and across most of the state.

8. IDEA 5 hour energy owner donates 99% of wealth to Research for the idea of desalination. The way he has accomplished this idea is he created a converter but it is as long as a 12 person van. His goal is to get the price down so it is affordable for 3 rd world countries. This would really benefit costal countries that are very dry. Example: Ethopia

9. CONCLUSION Droughts are a major problem in the united states and the rest of the world. Many people have been working very hard to find an efficient way to make it so the droughts can come to an end. Desalination is the major key to end droughts. If there is a way to make it more efficient and less of a cost. If we can accomplish this we can make it so the world can have an abundance of water.
