Living Green - Episode 133 - Water Conservation

The video discusses the increasing water demand, which has tripled in the last 30 years, while population growth is only 50%. It highlights the Orange County Water District's three-step process to produce pure distilled water, which is then used to refill aquifers. The video also warns of potential water shortages in 36 states within three years and emphasizes the energy efficiency of the new water purification process, which uses 50% less energy than importing water.

How much has the water demand increased in the past 30 years compared to the population growth?

• Water demand has remained the same, and population has grown by 50%.

• Water demand has quadrupled, and population has grown by 100%.

• Water demand has tripled, and population has grown by 50%.

• Water demand has doubled, and population has grown by 50%.

What is the primary purpose of the three-step process at the Orange County Water District?

• To desalinate ocean water.

• To create pure distilled water.

• To increase water temperature.

• To reduce water hardness.

What is the role of correlation basins in the water purification process?

• To store excess water.

• To help refill underground aquifers.

• To measure water quality.

• To filter out impurities.

How many states are expected to face water shortages in the next three years?

• 24 states

• 36 states

• 12 states

• 50 states

How much less energy does the new water process consume compared to importing water?

• 75% less energy
