It’s a good introduction but try to ask a question in the introduction as well
Answer:
Explanation:
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. — Water spilled out of a spigot, sparklingly clear, into a plastic cup. Just 45 minutes earlier, it was effluent, piped over from Orange County’s wastewater treatment plant next door. At a specialized plant, it then went through several stages of purification that left it cleaner than anything that flows out of a home faucet or comes in a brand-name bottle.
“It’s stripped down to the H, 2 and O,” said Mike Markus, the general manager of the county water district. He was not exaggerating. Without the minerals that give most cities’ supply a distinctive flavor, this water tastes of nothing.
As California scrambles for ways to cope with its crippling drought and the mandatory water restrictions imposed last month by Gov. Jerry Brown, an array of ideas that were long dismissed as too controversial, expensive or unpleasant are getting a second look. One is to conserve more water; another is to turn nearby and abundant sources of water, like the Pacific Ocean, into drinking water through desalination.

Explanation:
An appositive is a noun or pronoun set beside another noun or pronoun to explain or identify it. When the appositive is used with words that modify it, we get an appositive phrase.
An appositive phrase usually follows the word it refers to. It's often framed by commas, except when it's considered to be an essential part of the sentence.
Here are some examples:
- <em>Niagara Falls</em><em>, </em><em><u>the natural wonder in New York</u></em><em>, is not the tallest in the country</em>. - the underlined part is an appositive, and the part written in bold letters is the part of the sentence the appositive explains. As we can see, the appositive explains what Niagara Falls are.
- <em>My </em><em>brother </em><em><u>Jim </u></em><em>lives in Kansas.</em> - names preceded by words that describe their <em>status/title</em> are usually appositions. In cases such as this one, they are considered essential, which is why they are not framed by commas.
