Computer networking is a system that connects to computers for information to be shared and stored. By means of computer network, hardware components and computers are interconnected by communication channels.
AquaHeat is very much so about sharing and exchanging information. Data will be exchanged through AquaHeat servers network.
It will be important to "network" with outsiders to gain support and funding.

Operating System
An operating system is a set of programs that manage other programs on a computer. it is the most important system of the computer, because it enables applications to be run. An operating system performs very basic, yet important task, such as, managing input and output.
AquaHeat uses operating systems to manage programs used on our computers to manage our progress and how fast water is being made available. We will be using a multi-processing operating system, in order to be able to process more than one computer. This will be important because there will be a load of data shared and stored between different computer users.

Bits and Bytes
A bit, or a binary digit is the smallest unit of information that can be processed or stored by a computer. A byte is eight binary digits, or bits as one unit. Bytes only recognize two states, combinations of 0 and 1.
According to the well-known Moores Law, the number of bytes will multiply exponentially as the years increase, and as a result, technology will only get better.
Bytes are important in the AquaHeat project because it important that we have reliable technology and storage to process all of the various data and imaging needed.
Input/Output
Input and Output are important in technology in that it allows for one computer to communicate with another device or a person.
While input and output are not crucial for AquaHeat to succeed, it is important is ways that it allows staff to effectively communicate with one another in terms of progress and issues that our project might encounter. For instance, it is important for one staff member to be able to communicate an issue with another staff member who may be able to assist in finding a solution. (ex: a headset and microphone would be used for communication purposes) Another source of input and output would be NFC(near field communication). NFC would be used to transfer data from one device to another in case of emergency. Also, tracking our bases of water supply is very important, so RFID would be useful in that way.
hardware
Hardware is an extremely important com aspects of technology, and more specifically it encompasses the key components of a computer. Without hardware, a computer would not perform properly; it simply would not exist.
While AquaHeat does not neccesarily need hardware to perform, it would ensure that our project is as successful as it can possible. Computers will be useful in that programs such as excel, will be used to ensure that AquaHeat is performing in the best possible way.
Computers used by AquaHeat will consist of the best hardware possible. They will consist of a:
- monitor
- hard drive
- disk drives
- processor
- motherboard
- video/sound card
- RAM
- power supply
- computer case
- hard drive

excel
Microsoft Excel is a very useful program. It allows for information that might otherwise be complicated, be understandable. Through Excel, data can be condensed, stored, and shared with others so that is easily understood. The program is also useful for visual and organizational programs, as various graphs can be included.
By means of Microsoft Excel, AquaHeat will store data of our progress. Data will include where heat plates are located and the temperature of the heat plates. Also, the data will show the correlation between heat plate temperature, water pressures levels and heat temperatures, and the amount of time needed for water to be considered drinkable and then distributed. We will use graphing methods to better show and explain these factors.
As AquaHeat begins to expand as not only a company, but also an environmental movement, Microsoft Excel will enable us to see how effective our work is, and allow us to share with others our methods and progress, in hopes to gain support in changing the world.

Since early childhood, you've always been encouraged, maybe even forced, to drink water. Its healthy, pure, and most importantly its one of our basic needs for survival. While two-thirds of the human body is composed of water already, drinking potable water is essential in the process of respiration and energy. Water covers about 70 percent of the earths total surface. So in short, those "greens shades of crayon" of the colored globe are dominated by the blue Crayola crayon.
So why is that 100 percent of the worlds population are not adequately hydrated by the earths purest substance? While water takes up 70 percent of the earth, only 3 percent of that is drinkable - the rest is considered "undrinkable" because it is salt water. As a result, more than a billion people, more than one-seventh of the world, lack access to drinking water, as well as proper sanitation. Sadly, each year millions of people die due to lack of water and hydration, and waterborne diseases.
For decades the "we have to revise a plan to get drinking water into these countries" line has been overused, and no actions have been taken. Meanwhile, human beings are still suffering. So what can we do to reverse this crisis? We start by putting into effect the most logical plan. Since 97 percent of the earths water is of salt water, we have to eliminate the salt. We know that in order to precipitate salt, water must be brought to an extreme boil. Our scientist will do exactly that, just on a much greater scale. Underwater plates will be positioned at sections of the sea's bottom. as the heat intensifies, salt will began to precipitate, thus making more and more saltwater drinkable.
