Water conflicts part B – Question Referring to examples‚ assess the potential for water conflict in areas where demand exceeds supply. Water insecurity is a lack of sustainable use‚ protection of water systems and the protection against water related hazards. Excess demand can cause many potential conflicts regarding water; most of the negative outcome will reflect on the environment. If a scheme for any water system will not be efficient and clean‚ the environment will be affected. A good example

Next Saving energy Generating electricity Electricity can be generated in many ways‚ including in power stations using fossil fuels or biomass fuel using wind turbines using hydroelectric power schemes using wave power or tidal power using solar cells. Most of the UKs electricity is generated in power stations using fossil fuels. Thermal energy released from the burning fuel is used to boil water to make steam‚ which expands and turns turbines. These drive the generators to produce electricity.

Hydroelectric The Hoover Dam does more than attract tourist‚ it provides power to 8 million people (32). Instead of using a heat source to create steam to turn a turbine like most power plants‚ hydroelectric plants use the natural flow of water and divert it through a turbine via a dam. The estimated available hydro energy in the United States‚ discounting wilderness preserves and the likes‚ is 65 gigawatts. One significant advantage of hydroelectric power in the U.S. is that there are existing

Fast-growing India needs nuclear power as well‚ for its twin benefits: it’s both clean and can cater to people on a mass scale. India has been making advances in the field of thorium-based fuels‚ working to design and develop a prototype for an atomic reactor using thorium and low-enriched uranium‚ a key part of India’s three stage nuclear power programme.[7] The country has also recently re-initiated its involvement in the LENR research activities‚[8] in addition to supporting work done in the

Case Study Analysis: The Guri Dam The major area of strength in the management of the project is that the project was covered with four phases: inception‚ development‚ implementation‚ and closeout (Anbari‚ n.d.). In the inception phase‚ there was already a vision of what the Guri dam will be like. Its purpose is also identified such that it will serve as a reservoir which could store a large amount of water. It was also in this phase that the cost of the project was estimated. Furthermore‚ this

Target for severe criticism from biologists‚ environmentalists‚ and the Brazilian population‚ the construction of the Belo Monte dam is becoming increasingly unfeasible‚ both for environmental and social reasons. It is certain that the Belo Monte dam will bring benefits to the country‚ but the damages caused to the population and the environmental health of the region surpass any positive aspect of this dam. The dam’s installed capacity of at least twelve thousand megawatts is the third largest in
