Özet

Freshwater resource shortages have become a significant problem in the world due to population growth, rural to urban migration, climate change, and flood control. When water is stored above ground, mass amounts of water are lost due to evapotranspiration. In order to curb the freshwater resource shortage we propose the following solutions: 1) preventing some storm water from becoming runoff, 2) keeping water clean, 3) storing water underground, and 4) using water more intelligently.
