Desalinization plants are becoming popular in the Middle East and heavily proposed in drought states like California to satisfy the public's use of fresh water. What is the dominant issue with establishing desalinization facilities?

Desalinization involves heating seawater to a boil, resulting in pure, distilled water vapor with no impurities. While any ferally-funded project is subject to environmental assesments, the major roadblock for these facilities is the heat energy required to distill the seawater.

In sea water, carbon is mostly found in the form of __________.
In sea water, carbon is mostly found in the form of __________.
When atmospheric carbon dioxide reacts with ocean water, they combine to product the bicarbonate iron, or 
. This ion acts as a buffer in the sea water, allowing the pH to remain relatively stable. While neither methane, glucose, nor carbon monoxide occur in large enough quantities in salt water, phosphoric acid actually contains no carbon.

Aquifers provide water for millions of people. But when aquifers are used at faster rate than they can replenished a deficit occurs which causes a number of problems.
What is it called when aquifers in coastal areas start to fill with ocean water?

Aquifers are part of groundwater. Saltwater intrusion occurs because of aquifer depletion. The empty space can then be filled with sea water. Confined and artesian are types of aquifers.
