## ['AMP-lify' Salt Brine's Melting Capacity](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/amp-lify-salt-brine)
By [Maren Garcia](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/author/maren-garcia) on 12.15.2020 [Deicing & Anti-Icing](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/topic/deicing-anti-icing), [Environmental](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/topic/environmental), [Corrosion Control](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/topic/corrosion-control), [AMP](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/topic/amp)
[](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/amp-lify-salt-brine)
Brine additive, [AMP](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/amp-brochure)®, got its name for a reason; because it AMP-lifies the performance of anti-icing and deicing programs when combined with salt brine. AMP is a clear, odorless liquid that effectively treats roads before and after storms by reducing snow and ice buildup. Salt brine used alone to pretreat roads often dries out and does not stick to roads, which can be a waste of product and money. AMP combined with salt brine allows the product to bond to the roads, even in the most severe conditions.

Snowplows are a vital service to ensure the safety of our community. Many drivers have adopted to snowy road conditions, yet they remain uncertain when they encounter a snowplow. Snowplows are generally equipped with a large, heavy plow on the front, which allows them to clear ice and snow from the roads.

EnviroTech Services, Inc. takes water conservation seriously. We have covered [water shortages impacting the Colorado River](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/water-shortages-in-the-colorado-river-what-does-this-mean) and highlighted water management efforts by the state of Nevada. Although this is an alarming issue, it is important to remain hopeful and review how states around the country are addressing water shortages.
In the past twenty years, California has been devastated by water shortages. A majority of the water supply in California comes from the Colorado River, which has seen rapid reduction. In response to the water crisis, the state of California is utilizing desalination plants. Desalination plants convert salt water into fresh water by using a chemical or physical process to reduce salt concentrations.

Nevada’s harsh weather, low precipitation, and growing population make it difficult to maintain proper water levels. Southern Nevada currently receives 90% of its water supply from Lake Mead, which is fed by the Colorado River. The Colorado River provides water to not only Nevada but California, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, and Mexico. As mentioned in “[Water Shortages and the Colorado River: What Does This Mean?](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/water-shortages-in-the-colorado-river-what-does-this-mean)”, the Colorado River is drying up at alarming rates.
