In science today, I learned about seawater and how to recycle and desalt it. In this paper, I will state what I learned in my lesson, including what I just said above. First, let’s start with the actual definition of water. Water: a clear, colorless, nearly odorless and tasteless liquid. Water is essential to most plants and animals.
Even though ¾ of earth is covered in water, there are still lots of people going either without or a shortage. To prevent this from happening, scientists came up with a way to recycle and desalt water.
To desalt it, you can either put intense pressure on it to get the salt off (don’t try that, though), or they also evaporate the water, which leaves the salt behind, and then they turn the evaporated water back on to regular water.
To recycle water, people in Israel made “funneled” treys they stick around trees to collect dew and also keep the weeds out. They use the dew collected for everyday usage. Israel recycles 80% of their water, which is more than almost everywhere else. They conserve their water by doing many conservation practices.
What I learned about today in science was very fascinating to me. I hope you found an interest in it as well. Have a wonderful day!
