Answer to Question 1

Answers will vary. It is unknown if the ice sheets are being used as a drinking water
source at this time. The relative inaccessibility of the water in the ice is the main reason
why this source is not being used.



Answer to Question 2

Answers will vary. Some countries in the Middle East are investigating the use of
saltwater for a drinking water supply (and some countries are already using saltwater
as a source through desalination).

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
