Water use and misuse OUR pot of water woes is brimming over. That does not seem surprising‚ according to Ramaswamy R. Iyer‚ since even though India is one of the few countries in the world which is blessed with an adequate quantity of water‚ there is a tremendous amount of mismanagement of water resources. While the country has over 4‚000 billion cubic meters (bcm) of annual rainfall and almost 2000 bcm of river flow‚ the reality remains that we have had constant lamentations about the shortage

amounts of water consumed in the brewing process as well as washing and sterilizing procedures. It is estimated that between 4 and 7 L of water is required to produce 1 L of beer. Beer is the fifth more popular drink in the world so to meet this demand; large quantities of water are required. Water chemistry has an effect on the brewing efficiency as well as the taste‚ so water from water authorities must be treated in order to produce water which is acceptable for brewing. Demand for water has become

WATER CONSERVATION Water conservation encompasses the policies‚ strategies and activities to manage fresh water as a sustainable resource to protect the water environment and to meet current and future human demand. Population‚ household size and growth and affluence all affect how much water is used. Factors such as climate change will increase pressures on natural water resources especially in manufacturing and agricultural irrigation. The goals of water conservation efforts include as follows:

Protecting Our Nations Water Supply Imagine when you wake up tomorrow and there is no running water to take a shower‚ brush your teeth‚ or even have a cold drink. In today’s society‚ we have been experiencing an extreme drought and it is progressively getting worse and worse every day. We as Americans do not realize the harm and danger we are bringing to ourselves by wasting water without even realizing it. Most people don’t know how much water they are using; on a daily schedule the average person

Hard Water How can water be hard? Well‚ it can‚ but maybe not in the sense that one would think. Hard water refers to water with dissolved calcium and magnesium ions in it. Rainwater is naturally soft‚ but when the water runs through the ground or over rocks causing erosion‚ calcium and magnesium ions can be easily picked up. Most people prefer hard water to soft water for drinking‚ because the ions are good for you‚ and because soft water leaves a “dry” taste in one’s mouth (1‚2). Big businesses

Water Polution definiton: Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes‚ rivers‚ oceans‚ aquifers and groundwater). Water pollution occurs whenpollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in these bodies of water. In almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to individual species and populations‚ but also to

2004‚ water supply was available on average for 18 hours each day in the West Zone of Metro Manila and 21 hours in the East Zone. According to their respective websites‚ the utility responsible for water supply in the East Zone of Metro Manila increased 24-hour water from 26% in 1997 to 98% in 2007‚ whereas in the West Zone‚ 42% of the customers had an uninterrupted supply in 2007.

Water Technology Hardness of Water: Natural waters containing large quantities of dissolved salts of Calcium (Ca) & Magnesium (Mg) is called hard water. It is a characteristic of preventing lather formation of water with soap. Ca2+ & Mg2+ ions react with soaps which are salts of fatty acids (stearic or palmitic acid) to give insoluble scums or precipitates of calcium or magnesium stearate or palmitate. 2C17H35COO- + Ca2+ → (C17H35COO)2 Ca (scum) 2C17H35COO- + Mg2+ → (C17H35COO)2
