Is much of the fresh water used in California is treated ocean water?
No, a relatively small amount of fresh water in California is produced through desalination of ocean water. The majority of fresh water in the state comes from surface water and groundwater sources. Desalination is mainly used in coastal areas where water scarcity is a major issue.
What forces of nature made the great five lakes?

What did Poseidon produce to Athens?
Poseidon produced water when he drove his trident into the Acropolis, thinking it was fresh water but was salt water which was really wasn't good for anything.
How does chlorine enter fresh water sources?
Chlorine can enter fresh water sources through the process of chlorination, where chlorine is added to the water as a disinfectant to kill harmful bacteria and pathogens. It can also enter fresh water sources through industrial discharges and runoff from areas where chlorine-based products are used or produced.
How do major bodies of fresh water help major civilizations grow?
Fresh water helped them by ...providing water,for crops,which produced food for humans to eat.The water also is need for humans to live so many civlizations built there citys or town near or around water.
Which methods can be used to obtain fresh water from seawater?
The process of converting salt water to fresh water is called desalination and there is a lot of information on the subject. Mother nature turns salt water into fresh water everyday by evaporation of water from the oceans. Clouds, with water vapor, water droplets and ice crystals form from evaporation. Then, it rains or snows nearly pure water/ice. When humans artificially create pure water, the water is typically heated to drive the pure water off as water vapor and leave the salts behind. In chemistry, heating a liquid to vaporize it so that it condenses in a purer form is a process is called "distillation". Another process, more specifically for water, is reverse osmosis filtration through a series of differentially permeable membranes allowing pure water to pass while trapping salts and other impurities. When any process is used to remove salts from seawater, the process is called desalination.
Are the great lakes salt or fresh water?
the Great Lakes are fresh water.( the largest fresh water lakes in the world.)
How does saltwater intrusion happen?
Saltwater intrusion is the movement of ocean water into fresh groundwater that causes contamination of the freshwater by salt. This is a process of nature and usually occurs near the coastlines where the fresh groundwater level approaches the same level as the sea.
How is astatine produced?
it is produced by radioactive decay from nature
Will a quarter decompose faster in salt water or fresh water?
