Water Resource Challenges
Review Ch. 10 and 11 of your text, then complete the following:
Provide at least three freshwater and three ocean water resource challenges by filling in the following table. Then, respond to the question that follows:
Freshwater Resource Challenge
Description
Water Pollution
Many instances such as dumping are causing the water resource to be polluted by bacteria and other harmful
Redistribution of water resources
The allocation of resources is not being systemized and run correctly
Climate Change
The global warming effect is having a negative impact on water’s supply
Ocean Water Resource Challenge
Description
Development
Real estate development is destroying resources around the coastal line
Agricultural supply/ drinking
The agricultural industry is using water that is not healthy and much of it is bad to drink
Sewage Contents
Many fisherman and ships are not disposing their garbage and contaminating the water
In 200 to 300 words, respond to the following: Choose one fresh or ocean water resource challenge and describe in detail why the issue has become a problem and how human activities have contributed to the problem.
One issue that I can relate to and understand is the overdevelopment. Many real estate developers are destroying the land around and possibly affecting the water too. Salt marshes and mangrove swamps are examples of coastal habitats being damaged. I see these builders over building and have not care for the negative impact it will have on our water resources. We as humans and as creatures of mother earth have an obligation to take care of what limited resources we have. It is apparent today that the more we build and over populate, we will destroy the natural resources and create long term problems. Just imagining the materials and debris being set forth around the real estate is being developed is utterly disturbing. These real estate developments
