    This document compares the pros and cons of two water solutions: water dams and water desalination. Water dams can generate hydropower, create reservoirs for recreation, and control water supply, but require relocation of residents, have high construction costs, and disrupt ecosystems. Water desalination extracts fresh water from oceans, preserving current supplies, but the processes are costly, plants are expensive to build, and brine can harm the environment.

    WATER DESALINATION

    Pros Cons

    1. Proven an effective method 1. Costly processes (required considerable


    2. Massive amounts of ocean water of energy to desalinate water)
    3. Would help preserve current freshwater 2. Expensive to build desalination plants
