Thesis3

Actually, there are lots of studies and secondary data set that will help in my topic. In addition the study will includes a case study and I can use some journal articles for some important information on the cases.

I can use various official sites to access their reports of desalination in Florida. For example, I have found out an official site of South Florida Water Management district http://www.sfwmd.gov/portal/page/portal/xweb%20-%20release%203%20water%20supply/desalination that has published a number of reports on desalination that can be effectively used as secondary data in this case study. Since the research is a qualitative study I can gather necessary reports to collect secondary data set.

Here are some links that will help to collect data:

http://www.sfwmd.gov/portal/page/portal/xweb%20-%20release%203%20water%20supply/desalination for some secondary data (numerical figures including a trend analysis).

2-There are links for some reports that will also be helpful to collect qualitative data (they are not literature or journal articles, they are simple reports from the water supply districts and state of Florida.
