Water politics is politics affected by water and water resources. For this reason‚ water is a strategic resource in the globe and an important element in many political conflicts. It causes health impacts and damage to biodiversity. 1.6 billion people have gained access to a safe water source since 1990.[63]The proportion of people in developing countries with access to safe water is calculated to have improved from 30% in 1970[64] to 71% in 1990‚ 79% in 2000 and 84% in 2004. This trend is projected

SAVE WATER SAVE LIFE Water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface‚ and is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth‚ it is found mostly in oceans and other large water bodies‚ with 1.6% of water below ground in aquifers and 0.001% in the air as vapor‚ clouds (formed of solid and liquid water particles suspended in air)‚ and precipitation. Oceans hold 97% of surface water‚ glaciers and polar ice caps 2.4%‚ and other land surface water such as rivers‚ lakes and ponds 0.6%. A very small amount of the

Hi‚ my name is water molecule! H2O for short. I live in the bottom of a well. I come from 2 hydrogen atoms‚ but I have an oxygen atom in me! Down here in my well‚ we have a swell time together. In our liquid state‚ we are not too far apart‚ nor too packed together. It’s really great being a liquid! I feel bad for my cousin CO2. He is probably sublimating into a gas from a solid‚ or as a gas‚ freezing back into a solid. He has no melting point‚ only a freezing and boiling point. I’m SO glad I will

Chemistry Summary The particle theory: 1. Matter is made of tiny particles 2. Particles of matter are in constant motion 3. Particles of matter are held together by very strong electric forces 4. There are empty spaces between the particles of matter that are very large compared to the particles themselves. 5. Each substance has unique particles that are different from the particles of other substances 6. Temperature affects the speed of the particles. The

study finds that discharge of untreated sewage is the single most important cause for pollution of surface and ground water in India. There is a large gap between generation and treatment of domestic waste water in India. The problem is not only that India lacks sufficient treatment capacity but also that the sewage treatment plants that exist do not operate and are not maintained.[1] The majority of the government-owned sewage treatment plants remain closed most of the time due to improper design

After discovering the suspicious items in JWP’s accounting records‚ would you have taken a different course of action than he did? Why or why not? I doubt if I can reach the position that David Sokol had in my career’s life. However‚ let say that if I was in David Sokol’s position‚ I would probably do the same thing David had done. I believe the proper working ethics are accountability‚ professionalism and

Topic 6 Water Quality and Water Management What determines water quality? Drinking water should be colorless‚ odorless and flavorless; this means that there are no organisms and sediments in the water‚ but it does not mean that if your drinking water look‚ smells and taste clean‚ that does not mean that there is nothing else it. Water also contains dissolved solids: •Sulfur •Calcium •Magnesium If water contains a lot of dissolved calcium and magnesium it is called hard water
