What is desalination?

• The process of distilling water to remove impurities.

• The process of filtering water to remove bacteria and viruses.

• The process of adding salt to water to make it suitable for human consumption or agricultural use.

• The process of removing salt and other minerals from seawater or other salty water sources to make it suitable for human consumption or agricultural use.

What is one way to conserve water in agriculture?

• Use drip irrigation instead of flood irrigation

• Use sprinkler irrigation instead of drip irrigation

• Water crops during the hottest part of the day

• Use more water to increase crop yield

Why is water conservation important in industry?

• Water conservation is too expensive for industry

• Water conservation is not important in industry

• To reduce water usage, lower costs, minimize environmental impact, improve sustainability, and reputation among consumers and stakeholders.

• Water conservation only benefits the environment, not the industry

How does water conservation contribute to the water cycle?

• Water conservation has no impact on the water cycle.

• Water conservation disrupts the natural flow of the water cycle.

• Water conservation helps to maintain water levels and ensure the continuity of the water cycle.

• Water conservation leads to excessive water evaporation and reduces the water cycle.

What is the relationship between human population and water conservation?

• Water conservation is only necessary in areas with high human population.

• Water conservation is only necessary in areas with low human population.

• The human population has no impact on water conservation.

• The human population has a direct impact on the need for water conservation.

What is the role of rainwater harvesting in water conservation?

• Rainwater harvesting is not related to water conservation.

• Rainwater harvesting is a traditional method and has no place in modern water conservation.

• Rainwater harvesting is a key method of water conservation, as it allows the collection and use of rainwater, reducing reliance on other water sources.

• Rainwater harvesting increases water wastage and is therefore not a method of water conservation.

How does reusing greywater contribute to water conservation?

• Reusing greywater does not contribute to water conservation.

• Reusing greywater contributes to water conservation by reducing the demand for fresh water.

• Reusing greywater increases water pollution and therefore does not contribute to water conservation.

• Reusing greywater contributes to water conservation by increasing the supply of fresh water.
