* Water is a natural resource of the utmost importance; nothing on earth can survive without it. Aside from drinking‚ water is used for agriculture‚ cooking‚ bathing‚ cleaning‚ industrial purposes and sanitation. When the demand for water exceeds its supply for an extended period of time‚ scientists refer to the situation as water stress. This serious issue leads to lower quantity and quality of freshwater resources. While most causes are human-related‚ others are uncontrollable. Population Growth

Water quality is determined by three major classes that are biological‚ chemical‚ and physical. The biological class has to do with the organisms that are living in the water and how many organisms that there are. Some of the organisms that live in the water have certain physical and chemical

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

The importance of water Water is one of the weirdest compounds known to humans. The difference between the boiling point and freezing point of water is one of the largest ranges of any compound. It is this span of temperature that mirrors the range of where life can exist‚ from bacteria to humans. Water also has a very high specific heat‚ which means that it can absorb or lose much heat before its temperature changes. This is important in maintaining body heat in mammals. It also takes a lot of

Natural Spring Water contains several of the minerals necessary for good health and that it is completely free of bacteria. Residents of Saluda‚ the small town where the water is bottled‚ are hospitalized less frequently than the national average. Even though Saluda Natural Spring Water may seem expensive‚ drinking it instead of tap water is a wise investment in good health.” Discuss how well reasoned . . . etc. The author’s conclusion is that people should drink Saluda Spring Water rather than

WATER POLLUTION INTRODUCTION Although some kinds of water pollution can occur through natural processes‚ it is mostly a result of human activities. We use water daily in our homes and industries‚ about 150 gallons per day per person in the United States. The water we use is taken from lakes and rivers‚ and from underground (groundwater); and after we have used it-- and contaminated it-- most of it returns to these locations. The used water of a community is called wastewater‚ or sewage. If

the current water shortage on Oahu. For the purpose of this paper‚ our group has chosen to discuss what we believe to be the top three most feasible technological solutions. In order of current usability they are; 1. Water recycling 2. Desalination 3. OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) Water Recycling Water recycling here on Oahu is an important part of ensuring a sustainable water supply for future generations. Through the natural water cycle‚ the earth has recycled and reused water for millions
