Description
This analysis of the origin of our water supply system illustrates the seriousness and complexity of our present water problems which will require all the technology acquired by space-age scientists and engineers to solve. It is intended to show that present water depends as much on water vapor in the atmosphere as on that below the crust of the earth. Spinoffs from the space program should be put to use to overcome water pollution and develop prototypes for desalting, reclaiming and recycling water.
Can Spinoffs From Space Provide Water For A Thirsty World?
