The Water Issue Water in its liquid form is the material that makes life possible on Earth. All living organisms are composed of cells that contain at least 60 percent water. Furthermore their metabolic activities take place in a water solution Physical Properties Polar: One molecule is slightly positive, and the other is slightly negative Molecules tend to stick together Separate other molecules from each other(solvent) Stores Heat-retains heat Industrial coolant Modifies local climates
The Water Issue • Physical Properties: – Polar: One molecule is slightly positive, and the other is slightly negative. Molecules tend to stick together. Separate other molecules from each other (solvent). Stores Heat-retains Heat ¾ Industrial coolant ¾ Modifies local climates • Water in its liquid form is the material that makes life possible on Earth. All living organisms are composed of cells that contain at least 60 percent water. Furthermore, their metabolic activities take place in a water solution
The Water Issue 70% of the earth's surface is covered by oceans, which contain over 97% of the water on the Earth(saltwater) Fresh Water is approximately 3% soi(0.41%) Rivers and lakes (0.82%) gRoundwater(20.58%) Of the freshwater found on Ice and glacier 7819%) Earth, only a tiny fraction is available for use Rivers anerlakes(0.02%)-T Soil(0.01%) Groundwater(0.50%) ice and glaciers(1.90%) Potable water: Unpolluted fresh water. suitable for Oceans (9757% drinking Total water
The Water Issue • 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by oceans, which contain over 97% of the water on the Earth (saltwater). – Fresh Water is approximately 3% Of the freshwater found on Earth, only a tiny fraction is available for use. • Potable water: Unpolluted, fresh water, suitable for drinking
The Water Issue For most human as well as some commercial and industrial use, the quality of the water is as important as its quantity The shortage of potable freshwater increases in human populations(demand is increasing for freshwater for industrial, agricultural, and personal needs) and limitations on the supply available can also be directly attributed to human abuse in the form of pollution. (Water dissolves and carries substances from nutrients to industrial and domestic wastes). Water pollution has negatively affected water supplies throughout the world
The Water Issue • For most human as well as some commercial and industrial use, the quality of the water is as important as its quantity. • The shortage of potable freshwater: ----increases in human populations (demand is increasing for freshwater for industrial, agricultural, and personal needs) and limitations on the supply available; ----can also be directly attributed to human abuse in the form of pollution. (Water dissolves and carries substances from nutrients to industrial and domestic wastes) . Water pollution has negatively affected water supplies throughout the world
