Water desalinination: https://environment.about.com/od/biodiversityconservation/a/desalination.htm
– the most expensive form of fresh water
– desalinated water costs at least five times as much to harvest

– salty residue left over from desalination must be disposed of properly, not just dumped back into the sea

100 ways to conserve water: https://wateruseitwisely.com/100-ways-to-conserve/

  1. Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.

  3. Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you\’ll save up to 150 gallons per month.
  4. Put food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak. Fixing it can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
