Storing Water There are many potential solutions to water storage, none work sufficient enough to be used alone. They are developing small scale techniques that one day could prevent places from running out of fresh water. Until then we need to conserve water and find new sources of fresh water.

Desalting Water •	Desalination- A process used to set salt out of saltwater to make fresh water. •	Reverse Osmosis- Another technique of turning saltwater into fresh water, it does this by pushing the water through a semi permeable membrane that will not allow the salt to pass through.

Towing Water •	Towing water- This process involves using boats to transport icebergs to countries that need fresh water. •	Alaska has over 40% of fresh water in USA. •	Another way of transporting water that was contemplated was putting water in plastic bags and sending it down the pacific coast

Conserving Water Since we use water quicker than the water cycle takes place, here are some ways we can conserve our fresh water.

•	Install low flow faucets and shower heads. •	Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. •	Water lawns at night to reduce water loss by evaporation. •	Take short showers. •	Avoid baths unless you keep water use low. Insert non-formatted text here This was my first deleted aritcal
