Environmental Practical Work on Water Supply
Environmental Management Practical Work.
Names: Tyra Alonso, Vicky Barbieri.
Course: Year Four.
Uses of fresh water: 1. The UN subdivides water into 3 sectors. Which ones? 2. What do developing countries mainly use water for? 3. How can these countries boost food output? 4. What do developed countries mainly use water for?
Water supply from natural resources:
Define the following words and illustrate with pictures from the web: ← Aquifer ← Impermeable Rock ← Reservoir ← Spring ← Water Table ← Well 1. Where have the most densely populated areas settled down over the past years? Why? Name cities with rivers flowing nearby or across them. 2. Wich are the most suitable cities for water supply? 3. Cite favourable geological conditions (page 70)
Do activities:
Page 69: 2 a and b, 3 a and 4 a.
Page 72: 1 a and b.
Advantages and disadvantages of large dams: 1. Make two lists, one for adventages and one for disadventages (costs) from builing large dams. 2. Explain how some of the disadventages of large dams may be avoided by building more small dams. 3. Find info in any environmental webpage about the impacts of constructing a dam, costs, benefits and drawbacks.
Uses of fresh water: 1. The UN subdivides water in three sectors: domestic (home and waste disposal), industrial (factories and for power) and agricultural (irrigation). 2. In Africa and Asia farming is the main activity, and in contrast, in North America and Europe, factories and industries are the main activity in which water is used. 3. They can improve techniques of use, methods and technologies for better irrigaion (such as creating dams) in order to: boost crop fields, allow crops to be grown in dry periods and use desert land to extend the area used by farming. 4. North America and Europe mainly use water for industrial activities in factories.
