is waveenergy.Now Oneka,a Canadian startup that uses the power of waves to desalinate（脱盐）water,is turning seawater into drinking water.More than half the worlds inhabitants struggle to find drinking water at least one montha year.And with climate change bringing with it extreme weather and heat,that figure willlikely rise.That is why it is estimated that the desalination sector will rise by nine percent by2030.In general,there are two kinds of desalination technology.The first is thermal（热能）.The second technology is membrane（薄膜）based.Whichever technology is used,however,most desalination plants run on non-renewable energy.And there is also the issue of the saltitself.The high salinity（盐分）of the water and salt that flows back into the ocean oftencreate dead zones.The water in these zones is so salty that marine life dies off in those areas.Desalination facilities are conventionally powered by fossil fuels,9,Hunt said.But theworld has certainly reached a pivot point.We want to move away from fossil fuel powereddesalination.This is where Onekas unique desalination technology comes in.In fact,thecity of Fort Bragg,California,has decided to use state funds to begin a new kind ofdesalination technology in partnership with the Canadian startup.Oneka uses floating desalination machines,attached to buoys（浮标）.The buoys thenabsorb energy from the ocean waves,and convert it into mechanical forces,pumping thewater through the membrane system.The fresh water is then pumped to land,also using thepower of the waves.The water that streams back into the ocean only contains a 30 percent increase in salinity,试卷第2 页，共 10页and is quickly dispersed（分散）by the waves,leaving no dead zones.This innovativetechnology shows is that sometimes the solutions to complicated problems dont have to becomplicated at all.Sometimes all you need are the ocean waves.4.Why will the desalination sector be expected to increase by 2030?A.Because desalination sector will increase by nine
