year. Water shortage leads to long queues and street squabbles with people’s patience running out. Once known as the city of lakes‚ the water bodies have today lost their lust. Built by our forefathers for serving daily needs and for recharging groundwater the lakes are dying. Concrete buildings and waste material have taken the place of the shrinking water bodies. Sports and business complexes are being planned in place of the retreating water bodies‚ without a passing thought to the consequences

agencies sprung into action‚ calling for a twenty percent decrease in statewide water usage. Californians across the state were subjected to laws and regulations put in place to manage drought conditions. Farmers‚ especially‚ experienced hardship as groundwater and surface water supplies were cut off due to shortages. However‚ even with the new additions to legislation‚ many of California’s water laws are no longer applicable- because they do not fully address the severity of the drought‚ are not implemented

Some of the environment impacts are permanent and some are temporary. Because California has encountered a serious loss by drought‚ our local and state government passed several bills to have water regulated‚ drought reduces surface water and groundwater so quickly‚ and it is very crucial for the government and all citizens to start to save our environment and water for our next

years‚ India will face a slew of subsequent problems‚ such as food shortages‚ intrastate‚ and international conflict. India’s water crisis is predominantly a manmade problem. India’s climate is not particularly dry‚ nor is it lacking in rivers and groundwater. Extremely poor management‚ unclear laws‚ government corruption‚ and industrial and human waste have caused this water supply crunch and rendered what water is available practically useless due to the huge quantity of pollution. In managing water

dissolved solids (TDS) to be usable. As the human population grows‚ demands for fresh water supplies increase. One technology being developed to meet this growing demand is desalination. Desalination allows us to utilize seawater and brackish groundwater that was previously considered unsafe for use. Water is classified as fresh if it contains less than 1‚000 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of TDS (2). The goal of desalination is to bring water into this safe range. There are many methods of desalination

Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes‚ rivers‚ oceans‚ aquifers and groundwater). Water pollution occurs when pollutantsare 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 speciesand populations‚ but also to the natural biological communities. Introduction[edit]

The environment‚ economic growth and development of Bangladesh are all highly influenced by water - its regional and seasonal availability‚ and the quality of surface and groundwater. Spatial and seasonal availability of surface and groundwater is highly responsive to the monsoon climate and physiography of the country. Availability also depends on upstream withdrawal for consumptive and nonconsumptive uses. In terms of quality‚ the surface water of the country
