Question What is a water transfer? Tap to flip Answer Moving water through pipes or along rivers from areas of surplus to areas of deficit. Question What is desalination? Tap to flip Answer The industrial conversion of saltwater into freshwater. Question Give one strategy to increase water supply. Tap to flip Answer For example: diverting supplies, increasing storage or desalination. Question What builds up in a reservoir over time and reduces its capacity? Tap to flip Answer Sediment. Question Do dams and reservoirs guarantee a reliable water supply? Tap to flip Answer No. Sediment reduces their capacity over time, and reservoirs can dry up during droughts. Question In water management, what does sustainable mean? Tap to flip Answer Long-lasting, typically with minimal or no harmful impacts on the environment. Question What is water conservation?
