Hospital patients often receive medications, nutrients, and water intravenously (IV), which means they are injected directly into the patient’s veins through a needle. IV fluid is not pure water, but is instead a saline solution (water containing NaCl). What do you think is the appropriate NaCl concentration for IV fluid? Why?

For the strategies below, decide whether they are best described as demand-side solutions or supply-side solutions to meeting human needs for fresh water. remember that a demand-side solution reduces demand for fresh water, whereas a supply-side solution increases the supply of fresh water. (a) damming a river to create a reservoir (b) desalinating seawater (c) a nation invading a neighboring country to access their rivers (d) raising water prices for consumers and businesses (e) providing tax breaks for companies that use less water (f) replacing inefficient irrigation with more-efficient drip irrigation to grow crops (g) requiring low-flow showerheads in all new homes
