1.1 Water Resources
Properties of Water ● Composed of 2 Hydrogen and (a) 1 Oxygen Exists as solid,liquid or gas (b) ·High heat capacity 。Polar -One end has (+charge,one end has (-)charge ·Forms Hydrogen bond between 2 water molecules -H-bonds define water's physical properties
Properties of Water • Composed of 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen • Exists as solid, liquid or gas • High heat capacity • Polar – One end has (+) charge, one end has (-) charge • Forms Hydrogen bond between 2 water molecules – H-bonds define water’s physical properties
Definition Water resources Water resources are sources of water that are potentially useful -Wikipedia Water resources management Water resource management is the activity of planning, developing,distributing and managing the optimum use of water resources It is a sub-set of water cycle management. Ideally,water resource management planning has regard to all the competing demands for water and seeks to allocate water on an equitable basis to satisfy all uses and demands. As with other resource management,this is rarely possible in practice
Definition Water resources • Water resources are sources of water that are potentially useful. - Wikipedia Water resources management • Water resource management is the activity of planning, developing, distributing and managing the optimum use of water resources. • It is a sub-set of water cycle management. • Ideally, water resource management planning has regard to all the competing demands for water and seeks to allocate water on an equitable basis to satisfy all uses and demands. • As with other resource management, this is rarely possible in practice
Global Water resources Total amount of water at the Earth's surface:1408.7X 106 km3 unevenly distribution of fresh water in the world. China with 21%of world's population has only 7%of the water resources. ● However,Canada,with only 0.5%of the world population,has 20% of world's fresh water. The world's fresh water supply is continuously collected,purified, recycled,and distributed in the solar powered hydraulic cycle

Water Cycle A-evaporation C-precipitation B-condensation D-collection The water cycle is made up of a few main parts: ● evaporation (and transpiration) ● Condensation Precipitation collection
Water Cycle The water cycle is made up of a few main parts: • evaporation (and transpiration) • Condensation • Precipitation • collection
