Answer to Question 1

Desalination allows for the production of fresh water in locations where rainfall or other traditional sources of fresh
water are inadequate to supply the demand for water. It allows development in locations that would otherwise
not support such human activity. As technology advanced, desalination has become more economically practical



Answer to Question 2

Dams and reservoirs collect and store water at peak rainfall periods, thus reducing flood damages. They hold water
in place for later use in irrigation or municipal water treatment for human use
