    Fresh Water Crisis Module 5

    Module 5 drew upon the needs and desires of people in society. The module explored who, if anyone, would be responsible for meeting the wants of the human population. Currently, water is a crucial natural resource for people everywhere. However, our water supply is decreasing due to many factors. In exploring this dilemma module 5 raises questions such as Who will be entitled to water when supplies become scarce? In the text, Facing the Fresh Water Crisis, Rodgers claimed that the exponential water consumption will eventually degrade all ecosystems on Earth. In response to the question raised by module 5 Rodgers argued that current technologies can avert a water war between societies. He takes a preventive…

    Sci207: Week 3 - Outline

    Water contamination is vastly becoming an alarming issue across the world. We rely on clean water to survive, yet right now we are heading towards a water crisis. Changing climate patterns are threatening lakes and rivers, and key sources that we tap for drinking water are being overdrawn or tainted with pollution (www.nrdc.org). Clean and plentiful water is the cornerstone of prosperous communities. Yet as we enter the 21st century, swelling demand and changing climate patterns are draining rivers and aquifers and pollution is threatening the quality of what remains. NRDC is integrating our expertise in pollution prevention, water efficiency and climate change to sustain America's precious water resources, working to advance smart water efficiency policies to ensure that communities get the water they need while keeping our lakes, rivers, and streams full and healthy (www.nrdc.org).…

    Pollution in Lake Huron

    Pollution in Lake Huron

    A major concern is raised in the cities surrounding Lake Huron, where the pollution in the water is eutrophic effecting the environment and health of many. The sources of this pollution are many, and the culprits as equally diverse. With over 20% of the world’s freshwater supply residing in them, the North American Great Lakes are the world’s largest freshwater system (TEACH). Including Lake Erie, Michigan, Huron, Superior, and Ontario, the five lakes are an important source of fresh water and are home to many species of wildlife. However, with the belief that water could dilute any substance, the lakes also became a destination of dumping grounds for many different types of pollutants. Nonpoint-source pollution is another term for polluted runoff; Point-source pollution and Air pollution are a factor as well. Whether it is from precipitation, water washing over the land, car washing or watering crops or lawns, it picks up an array of contaminants including oil, sand and salt from roadways, agricultural chemicals, as well as nutrients and toxic chemicals from both rural and urban areas. Those are a few major contributing factors to the pollution taking place in the water caused by our everyday personal actions and local land use policies. Determining the causes and effects of water pollution in Lake Huron may facilitate new ideas and solutions for cleaning up our waterways’ and improving public health.…

    Sudan Water Solution Report

    Access to clean water is considered a basic human right and in many countries when sustainable development is considered, water is at the top of the list of priorities (Omer, 2008). The value of water is increasingly felt in areas such as Sudan, where precipitation is inadequate while temperatures are high resulting in dry or arid conditions (Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), cited in USAID, 2010). Two-thirds of the country is arid and rainfall is less than 400mm annually. Regardless of the fact that about 60% of Sudan lies within the Nile basin, it only draws 18.5x109 m3 from the Nile’s annual flow of 84x109m3 and added to its internal supply of 12x109m3, the water availability falls considerably below the water stress limit of 1000m3 per head (ibid).…

    Water Quality Standards

    Water Quality Standards

    Water quality standards are determined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which has the responsibility to carry out the goal to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation’s waters. Water quality pollutants such as pesticides, cleaning solvents, and detergents are found in water due to the activities of humans. Other pollutants such as nutrients and sediments are a problem only under certain conditions. Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) is enforceable under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Drinking water standards are much stricter on the safety of water. Due to the risk of cancer the MCL was lowered to 10 L from 50L because 50L was too high. If these pollutants are not filtered out of the water they can cause harm to the plants, animals, and human bodies. EPA has to approve the safety of the water before it can be used. According to EPA 92% of the people in the U.S. have access to drinking water that meets the drinking water standards. However over 42,000 rivers, lakes, and estuaries are not meeting the recommended water quality standards. The major problems with these waters are pathogens, mercury, nutrients, other heavy metals, sediments, and oxygen depletion.…
