Question

Stranded on an island, you have two sources of water to drink: salty ocean water and contaminated fresh water. explain your choice of drinking water and indicate why your selection is the best choice.

Answer 1

I would probably drink a small amount of ocean water in 20 monute intervals, to not over dehydrate myself. This would probably give me enough time to go find other sources of water on the island (eg. coconuts) tp get clean water. In my opinion, this would be a better option than drinking contaminated fresh water. There is a higher risk of getting infected by the bacteria in the water, which would be why its better to take the contaminated fresh water only as a last resort option.

I'm not really sure what I just typed but hopefully it makes some kind of sense to you☺

Answer 2

For my opinion I will drink a contaminated fresh water.But first I will filter the water with clean towel or maybe with clean sock.The reason why I not choose sea water because sea water is dangerous for human because it contain hight amount of salt(to much sodium can kill us).Human kidney can only produce salty urine lesser than salty sea water.
