Describe the path a molecule of water might follow through the hydrologic cycle from the ocean to land and then back again. The water evaporates from all over the world but let’s say it is evaporates from the oceans to form clouds that are moved over land by many of winds. The rainfall then brings it to earth where it will return to oceans by creeks to river‚ and some lakes then back to the

land. The earliest river valleys were the Nile‚ located in Egypt‚ Indus‚ located in India‚ and Huang River‚ located in China. River valleys were geographical advantages which allowed the ancient people to farm‚ have a reliable water source‚ like irrigation systems which brought water to crops and a way trade. In the Nile river valley people cultivated wheat and barley and along the banks people harvested papyrus using it to make paper‚ baskets‚ sandals‚ and plenty of other important necessities. Covering

3219 villages had inadequate supply of drinking water‚ that is‚ about 16-17 per cent villages suffered from drinking water shortages. The problem of drinking water acquired significant dimensions gradually with the increased use of ground water in irrigation on the one hand and the declining traditional water systems of managing local water supply on the other hand. The state can be divided into the following regions: North Gujarat‚ Central Gujarat‚ South Gujarat‚ Saurashtra and Kachchh. Though the

Plains that spans across portions of eight states including the northern tip of the Texas panhandle. A large portion of the irrigated land in the US rests atop this aquifer system‚ which yields about a third of the nation’s ground water used for irrigation. The Ogallala Aquifer is also responsible for providing drinkable water to almost all of the people who live within the aquifer boundary. This presents a problem because water is being consumed at a faster rate than it can be recharged naturally

Save water‚ save life Water is necessary for life. Water is needed for domestic‚ agricultural and industrial purposes. Three-fourth of Earth ’s surface is covered by water bodies. 97 per cent of this water is present in oceans as salt water and is unfit for human consumption. Fresh water accounts for only about 2.7 per cent. Nearly 70 per cent of this occurs as ice sheets and glaciers n Antarctica and other inaccessible places. Only one per cent of fresh water is available and fit for human use

lands more expose to the salinisation process. However‚ the vast majority of land affecting through salinisation can be directly linked to human activities‚ whether it be destroying natural vegetation and bush lands to clear the land for farms‚ over-irrigation of cultivated land and/or poor farming practices. Countries like Australia are beginning to see the devastation of increasing salinity levels after a relatively short period of introduced European farming methods. Nature dealt reasonably successfully
