Water scarcity involves water stress‚ water deficits‚ water shortage and water crisis. The concept of water stress is relatively new. Water stress is the difficulty of obtaining sources of fresh water for use‚ because of depleting resources.Some have presented maps showing the physical existence of water in nature to show nations with lower or higher volumes of water available for use. Others have related water availability to population. A popular approach has been to rank countries according to

AUTOMATIC WATER PUMP CONTROLLER The automatic water pump controller is used to control the water pump motor. The motor gets automatically switched on when water in the overhead tank (OHT) falls below the lower limit. Similarly‚ it gets switched off when the tank is filled up. Built around only one NAND gate IC (CD4011)‚ the circuit is simple‚ compact and economical. It works off a 12V DC power supply and consumes very little power. The circuit can be divided into two parts: controller circuit and

Water is our past. Water is our future. Without it‚ we cannot survive‚ and there are no alternatives. Many people have likened the issue of water scarcity to our current economic struggle over petroleum. Without petroleum‚ we can’t drive our cars‚ and maybe we have to walk to school or work. This is not the case for water‚ as we are not dealing with simple inconveniences (as grandiose as they may be)‚ we are dealing with the issue of sustaining life itself. The global lack of abundance of usable

The water cycle is also known as the hydrologic cycle. The water cycle describes the movement of water on‚ above and below the surface of Earth. Water can change states through the stages of the water cycle. Water can change from a solid to a liquid to water vapor in various places of the water cycle. Water moves from one lake to another‚ just like from an ocean to the atmosphere. Water travels by different processes of evaporation‚ condensation‚ precipitation‚ infiltration‚ runoff and subsurface

Water Conservation Our drinking water can come from wells‚ rivers and reservoirs. Our water usually does notcome from the ocean‚ because it is too salty to drink. The water in our rivers and reservoirscomes from precipitation. The amount of rain on average is almost the same from year toyear‚ while the population on the other hand is increasing. That means there is less water for each person in the future.Everyone should try to conserve water. However‚ it matters most to conserve where the population

Complexometric Determination of Water Hardness by EDTA Titration Bonnie Abella Dr. Asmita Kane Budruk 2/09/2014 Abstract: the complexometric EDTA titration was used to determine the salt substance in the water. This technique for the unknown sample 154 produced a water hardness of 8.43 x105=mg/L CaCO3 from the collected data which corresponds to the typical value from the city of Tempe. Introduction When the water from the rain collects impurities by dissolving the

battery my salt water battery has the three main components‚ the electrolyte (in case you didn’t know its like a liquid that conducts th electric current (I hope I spelt that right))‚ a cathode (the negative electrode) and the an anode (the positive electrode). As you may or may not know a chemical reaction must occur so that that chemical energy can be converted into electrical energy which is then used for whatever. In my salt water battery the electric current passes through the salt water which separates
