Water crisis occurs when demand for potable water exceeds the available supply due to factors like climate change, deforestation, pollution, and wasteful water use. Effects of water crisis include lack of access to drinking water and increased risk of water-borne diseases. Individuals can help avoid water crisis by conserving water through practices like fixing leaks, using less water when showering or bathing, and not wasting water unnecessarily.
Poland faces significant challenges with fresh water resources. It has less water per capita than the average EU citizen, drawing 12 billion cubic meters annually from the environment. Water is wasted through leaky infrastructure and household appliances, while industry consumes over 71% of Poland's water, mostly for cooling. Agriculture also pollutes water sources with excessive chemicals. As a result, about 80% of Polish rivers fail water purity standards. However, water consumption and pollution levels have gradually decreased in recent years through conservation projects, improved infrastructure, and higher water bills.
Bangladesh has a population of 150 million with a high population density and low GDP per capita. It faces severe water shortage and sanitation issues that negatively impact both urban and rural areas. Three devices - the Water Canary, Lifesaver bottle, and Reverse Osmosis Sanitation system - were proposed to test and filter water, making it safe to drink from any source. Additionally, investments in sewage systems and providing clean water access points could help address sanitation and water issues but require substantial funding.
Water scarcity is caused by a lack of available drinking water due to factors like global warming, lack of rain, overpopulation, pollution, and overconsumption by humans. Individuals can help by using more efficient irrigation techniques, rainwater harvesting, and conserving water in daily activities. Governments can address water scarcity by treating and recycling wastewater, upgrading water supply systems to reduce losses, and educating people about water conservation.
The document discusses water scarcity in Kerala and its causes such as deforestation, climate change, population expansion, urbanization, and pollution. Deforestation has exposed soil and water bodies to intense heat drying them out. Climate change has reduced rainfall in some areas and increased it in others, damaging water treatment systems. Population expansion has tripled water usage for drinking, cleaning, and sewage. Urbanization concentrates populations increasing needs. Pollution from sewage, industry, mining, and other sources contaminates water sources. Proposed solutions include recycling rainwater, improving farming practices and irrigation efficiency, upgrading sewage systems, supporting clean water initiatives, and increasing education.
Water pollution occurs when harmful pollutants from various sources contaminate bodies of water. It negatively impacts plants, organisms, and biological communities in the water. There are two types of water resources: surface water, like oceans, lakes, and rivers, and groundwater stored underground in aquifers. Pollution can originate from point sources like pipes or nonpoint sources like agricultural and storm runoff. The major causes of water pollution include waste from sewage, agriculture, industry, and radioactive materials. Solutions involve treating sewage before discharge, reducing agricultural and industrial runoff, and cleaning up contaminated sites.
Polish people waste a significant amount of water through everyday activities like not turning off taps while brushing teeth and throwing out food, which takes around 1000 liters of water to produce. Many also use potable water for non-essential activities like watering lawns and washing cars. Tenerife's tap water is seawater that has been desalinated and treated, so it is not healthy to drink long-term. Most of the sewage from Tenerife and the Canary Islands is dumped directly into the sea without treatment, totaling over 57 million liters per year from Tenerife alone.
Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet water needs within a region. It affects every continent and around 2.8 billion people around the world at least one month out of every year. More than 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water.

Today I will talk about water problems ,everybody as know that water is very important resource to live for alive organisms..the earth is consist of 70% with water..in nowdays water problems have been increasing ,so it can causes some problems in the world..first of all I wanna talk about the types of water problems .there are 3 types of water problems biological,chemical,physician ,biological… biological water problem means bacterica and viruses … inside the water some dangerous bacterias and parasites can cause serious diseases in people in direct contact with this contaminated water. This might include people drinking, swimming or washing in the contaminated water and extremely serious and contagious diseases..second one is chemical water problem it means throwing away nuclear oil ,heavy metals and radioactive spells..actually it happens in industry section.. third one is physicial water problems it means throwing away bottles or waster plastic bags..also this cause the dirtiness of water .
.causes of the water problems … there are actually three basic causes to make the water problem in the world..nuclear oil ,throwing waster bottle,wasting lots of water…nuclear oil it means in industry section fabrics and many industry instructions to flow the oil and smoke ,so it cause water problem..and also throwing waster bottles make the dirty to the water … the last the wasting lots of water also cause water problems ,because today most of country worry about less water..
Effects of water problems..
In the world water pollution is the big problem ,its effects is very dangerous … for example poisoing food and water ,desease and even death… Globally, more than 1 million children under 5 die each year from diarrheal disease
the effects of water pollution are not only devasting to people but also to animals ,fish and birds ..polluted water is unsuitable for drinking ..
In addition every problems have the solution way ,also water problems have 3 basic solution way ,planting trees,ran off,and don’t throwing away wasted substaces like bottles bags etc..planting trees are cause to prevent the land erosion and to make the clean dirty co2 matters from the nature also in the water..then we must be educating people because if we waste lots of water in somedays we cant find it again so we must ran off water..and also we don’t throw away the wasted subtances ..in conclusion I think that we have to change our habits ,because
The water is a natural resources very important and if we follow the same way till now ,one day maybe our sons woke up and won`t have water to drink…Thanks for your attention!..
Poles and tourists in Tenerife waste water through inefficient behaviors like leaving taps running and taking long showers. Common causes of water waste include leaky pipes and careless use in activities like gardening. With smaller water resources than places like Egypt, even small amounts of waste from a single leaky faucet can amount to thousands of liters lost annually in Poland. Hotels in Tenerife struggle with excessive water use by tourists who are unaware of the island's limited water supplies.

FAQ’s about potable water
Poland has limited water resources and a high level of air and water pollution, resulting in drinking water deficits in many regions. The Silesian Upland region has the largest amount of contamination due to numerous factories and mines. Only 20% of industrial and 10% of municipal wastewater receives treatment. Water pollution in Poland stems from natural, atmospheric, industrial, and municipal sources. In contrast, Tenerife has very good water quality and all beaches are suitable for bathing. While tap water is safe, it has an unpleasant taste due to desalination and some recommend boiling it before drinking.
Water pollution is a major global problem that causes over 14,000 deaths per day according to some estimates. It is primarily caused by human activities through both point sources like factories and sewage systems, and nonpoint sources that can't be traced to a single origin. Developing countries face acute water pollution that deprives many citizens of access to safe drinking water and claims hundreds of lives daily, while developed countries continue working to address persistent pollution problems through legislation, regulation of industry, and other solutions.
Poland and Tenerife both struggle with water management issues. In Poland, households waste over 100 liters of water per day through inefficient washing, not turning taps off fully, watering lawns, and frequent bathing. Solutions include collecting rainwater, shorter showers, fixing leaks, and reusing graywater. In Tenerife, agriculture and households consume water from wells and canals, as the volcanic island has little natural potable water. Desalination and wastewater purification are being considered to boost supply while respecting the need to conserve their limited fresh water resources.
Water pollution occurs when contaminants are introduced into natural bodies of water from human activities. It can be grouped into surface water, marine, and nutrient pollution and comes from both point sources like wastewater pipes and non-point sources like agricultural runoff. Water pollution degrades aquatic ecosystems and can cause public health issues for people who use that polluted water. Poland has limited water resources which are further threatened by waste from industry, leaking infrastructure, and lack of water conservation. The Canary Islands also face water issues from tourism impacts like garbage and overuse of resources.
The document discusses the issues of water pollution from various sources such as industry, farming, and homes. It notes how pollution can lead to deterioration of water quality, contamination of groundwater, diseases, and death of living beings. It emphasizes preserving water resources by not polluting or overusing them, especially underground water sources like aquifers. Aquifers are important because they store and supply fresh water while filtering out pollutants, making the water pure for drinking. However, overuse and pollution threaten these critical water sources.
This document summarizes a student presentation about water quality issues in Kenya and their partnership with Sevuria. It notes that over 1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water globally, including 16.8 million in Kenya. Water sources in partner communities include streams and shallow wells that often dry up. Treatment methods are insufficient or non-existent. This impacts people's health, education, and livelihoods. Cholera is a risk where water treatment is inadequate and can be treated with oral rehydration and antibiotics. The partnership aims to improve water quality monitoring and access in Kenya.
Water pollution occurs when unnatural chemicals, bacteria, or microorganisms are present in water. In Poland, the main cause of water pollution is sewage from industrial and municipal systems, which introduces inorganic, organic, and radioactive substances that change the water's physical, chemical, and bacterial composition. While Poland monitors drinking water quality, the state of its surface water is systematically deteriorating. In contrast, water pollution is not a serious problem in Tenerife due to few factories, farms, and sewage outflows, and it is estimated to have one of the lowest levels of water pollution worldwide.
Water is a transparent liquid that is the main constituent of streams, lakes, oceans, rain, and living things. It is a chemical compound composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom bonded together. Water exists naturally as a liquid, solid (ice), and gas (vapor) and is found in various forms on Earth like oceans, rivers, glaciers, and clouds. The human body contains 55-78% water and requires 1-7 liters per day for proper functioning with a minimum of around 2 liters recommended. Mineral water is classified based on its mineral content from very sweet with less than 100mg/L minerals to mineral water with over 1000mg/L.
Water pollution is a major problem caused by human activities like industrial chemical pollution and oil spills that contaminate water supplies and disrupt ecosystems and food chains. Only a small percentage of Poland's water sources are clean enough for drinking or industrial use due to severe pollution in many rivers and lakes. The main sources of water in Tenerife are dew collected by pine trees, rain, and melted snow that pass into underground reservoirs, though around 42% of the water is contaminated.
from the time we wake up to the time we fall asleep, we use water for multiple uses. can you imagine waking upto a day where this is not a drop to drink?

Water pollution due to heavy metals, pesticides Joy Jones
Heavy metals like lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury pollute water sources through industrial and agricultural waste and can poison humans and wildlife. Pesticides and oils from farms also contaminate waterways. Detergents containing phosphates contribute to algal blooms and lower oxygen levels in freshwater. These pollutants are difficult to break down, accumulate in organisms, and can cause health issues like cancer, organ damage, and developmental and neurological effects. Reducing industrial and agricultural runoff is needed to make water safe again for drinking and the environment.
Water pollution effects,causes,and how it is dandages to human life.Navyasri Kallam
Water pollution occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into bodies of water like lakes and rivers. It affects plants and organisms living in these waters and damages biological communities. Water pollution has many causes including chemicals released from smokestacks that fall into water sources as rain. It endangers human health by contaminating drinking water with pathogens from human and animal waste that can cause illnesses like typhoid, cholera, dysentery, polio and hepatitis. Around half of ocean pollution is sewage and other industrial waste, much of which is improperly disposed of in waterways.

It then covers several causes of water scarcity like climate change, population growth, and pollution. Various impacts of water scarcity are explained such as lack of access to drinking water, hunger, disease spread, and conflict over water resources. Solutions to water scarcity discussed include recycling water, improving farming practices, and supporting clean water initiatives. The document also contains country-specific information about water scarcity in India.
My first publication at UNICEF sheds light on the impacts of climate change on children's access to safe water and sanitation. If you think about it, it's staggering how more than 7.3 billion people have to compete over the extremely small fraction (definitely less than 1%) of the planet's available water resources -- and it'll only exacerbate as climate change continues. Who will suffer the most? The poorest children in the most vulnerable regions, such as coastal areas or the regions with extreme heat stress. Check out this short brief prepared for #COP22 and stay tuned for the full report by next year's #Worldwaterday! So honored and privileged to work with the amazing colleagues.

In 2010, the UN General Assembly explicitly recognized the human right to water and sanitation.
Everyone has the right to sufficient, continuous, safe, acceptable, physically accessible, and affordable water for personal and domestic use.
Sustainable Development Goal target 6.1 calls for universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water.
The above target is tracked with the indicator of “safely managed drinking water services” - drinking water from an improved water source that is located on-premises, available when needed, and free from fecal and priority chemical contamination.
This document discusses water supply and its relationship to human health. It begins by outlining the learning objectives, which are to describe the historical background and public health importance of water supply, identify different types of water-associated diseases, and explain how to prevent and control them. It then introduces the topic and explains that 80% of illnesses in developing countries are water-associated. The document defines several key water supply terms and categorizes water-associated diseases into four types: waterborne, water-washed, water-based, and water-related. For each type, it provides examples of diseases and discusses transmission routes and prevention methods.
Water is essential for human survival as our bodies are mostly composed of water. Access to safe drinking water means having a source less than 1 km away that provides at least 20 liters per person daily. However, over 1 billion people worldwide lack access to clean drinking water. As the global population increases, water scarcity is projected to impact more than 800 million people by 2025. Lack of access to clean water has severe health impacts, particularly for children, and is a major factor in poverty worldwide. Conservation of water resources through individual behaviors and infrastructure improvements is crucial to address this growing problem.
Water resources include sources of water such as oceans, rivers, lakes, groundwater and glaciers that are useful for human uses like drinking water and irrigation. The main types of water resources are surface water and groundwater. Oceans cover most of the Earth but their water is salty and not suitable for drinking or irrigation. Rivers, lakes and groundwater are more accessible freshwater resources but are being depleted by increasing human usage and climate change. Rainwater harvesting and other conservation methods are important to preserve freshwater supplies.
- Globally over 1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water and 2.5 billion lack access to adequate sanitation. The lack of sanitation in India is responsible for 100,000 child deaths annually and stunting in 48% of children.
- Climate change, through heavy rainfall, sea level rise, flooding, higher temperatures and drought, increases exposure to waterborne infectious diseases by transporting pathogens and contaminating water sources.
- There are four categories of water-related infections: water-borne, water-washed, water-based, and water-related. Many diseases are caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses or fungi transmitted through contaminated water.
- Prevention and control methods include improving water quality,
Virtual water refers to the water used in food production and supply chains. Green water comes from rainfall while blue water is from surface and groundwater sources, which are being depleted faster than they can be replenished in many areas. Infrastructure development and poverty reduction are keys to ensuring access to sufficient and sustainable water supplies. Growing populations and economic development are exacerbating water scarcity issues, especially in arid and drought-prone regions.
This document discusses water pollution, its causes, types, and effects. It defines water pollution as the contamination of water bodies from human activities, which can degrade aquatic ecosystems. The main types of water pollution are chemical, groundwater, microbiological, nutrient, and oxygen-depletion pollution. The causes include sewage, waste dumping, industrial waste, oil spills, acid rain, and eutrophication. The effects are threats to human health like disease, death of aquatic life, disruption of food chains, and destruction of ecosystems. Treatment methods include industrial treatment, denitrification, ozone treatment, and septic tanks.
This document summarizes water pollution. It defines water pollution as any unwanted change in water properties that harms human or animal health. Water pollutants come from point sources like factories or non-point sources like urban/farmland runoff. Water pollution types include surface, groundwater, microbiological, and oxygen depletion pollution. Major sources of pollution are agriculture, industry, mining, sewage, and industrial waste. Water pollution affects ecosystems, animal health, and causes human diseases. India has implemented programs like the Yamuna Action Plan, Ganga Action Plan, and laws like the Water Prevention and Control of Pollution Act to reduce pollution.
Water is a transparent liquid that is essential for life and covers most of the Earth's surface. It is composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Most living things rely on water for important functions like carrying nutrients and waste, regulating temperature, and aiding digestion. While humans can survive weeks without food, they can only survive a few days without water. A lack of access to clean water causes many health issues and deaths worldwide each year, especially in developing regions. Too little or too much water can both negatively impact environments and populations through droughts, flooding, and other effects. Climate change is exacerbating water-related problems in many parts of the world.
Wastewater, or sewage, is dirty water from homes and businesses that contains organic waste, pathogens, and other pollutants. It is produced from sinks, showers, toilets, laundries, and other drains. Wastewater must be treated through a multi-stage process before it is safely released back into the environment. This involves removing solids, organic matter, nutrients, and bacteria or other disease-causing pathogens. Proper wastewater treatment is important for public health and environmental protection.
The document discusses water and waterborne diseases. It defines key terms, describes the water cycle and classification of waterborne diseases. Waterborne diseases are spread through contaminated water and include diarrhea-causing and non-diarrhea causing illnesses. Common diarrhea-causing pathogens discussed are rotavirus, E. coli, and cryptosporidium. Typhoid fever and hepatitis are covered as non-diarrheal diseases. The document also addresses water purification methods including boiling, filtration and disinfection on small and large scales.
Mijul Saxena's presentation discusses water scarcity, its causes, impacts, and solutions. The major causes of water scarcity discussed are deforestation, water pollution, climate change, global warming, inefficient water use, poor water management, and population growth. Impacts include lack of access to safe drinking water for many people, reduced agricultural yields, and water-borne diseases. Solutions proposed are proper water management, reducing water waste, rainwater harvesting, afforestation, and increasing awareness of conservation.
Project on understanding water pollution Jananisri.S 9-B.pptxJananisriandShrinidh
Jananisri.S defines water pollution as toxic substances getting dissolved, suspended, or deposited in water bodies like lakes, rivers, and oceans, degrading water quality. This pollution not only harms aquatic ecosystems but can contaminate groundwater used for drinking. The document discusses major causes of water pollution like farm and industrial waste, as well as effects like destruction of biodiversity, contamination of food chains, lack of access to clean water, and increased disease. Some ways to prevent water pollution mentioned are reducing plastic use, properly disposing of chemicals, maintaining cars to prevent leaks, using runoff-reducing landscaping, and cleaning up pet waste.
This document discusses the importance of water and provides information on ensuring water is healthy. It describes the key steps to make water healthy which include:
1) Removing harmful contaminants through multi-stage filtering
2) Replenishing water with natural minerals that are reduced through distribution
3) Balancing the pH to an alkaline level between 7.5-9.5
4) Ensuring the water has a great natural spring water taste to promote proper hydration.
Waterborne illnesses have two main causes: pollution from industrial and agricultural chemicals contaminating water supplies, and dirt and contamination from bacteria, viruses, and parasites entering water through contact with animal and human waste. Some of the illnesses caused include diarrhea, cholera, polio, and meningitis. To protect yourself, only drink clean, safe water that has been treated or filtered, store water without germs, and practice good hand hygiene. While waterborne illnesses can occur anywhere, they often impact more rural areas and vulnerable groups like children the most severely due to lack of access to clean water and sanitation infrastructure.
Water pollution comes from a variety of sources including industrial effluents, mining waste, agricultural runoff, sewage, and oil. Pollutants can be categorized as persistent or non-persistent, with persistent pollutants like heavy metals and plastic posing long-term threats as they do not degrade. Water pollution impacts human health through increased risk of water-borne diseases and toxic exposure, and impacts ecosystems through eutrophication, acidification, and introduction of invasive species. Addressing both point and nonpoint sources of pollution is needed to improve water quality and access to safe drinking water globally.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
3. What is water ?

4. Drinking Water
• Access to drinking water means that the source is less than 1
km away from its place of use and that it is possible to reliably
obtain at least 20 litres per member of a household per day.
• Each person needs 20-50 liters of safe freshwater a day for
drinking, cooking and cleaning.
More than one in sixpeople worldwide - 894
million - don't have
access to this amount of
safe freshwater.
5. Hydrologic Cycle
The hydrologic cycle describes the continuous movement of
water:
Evaporation to the atmosphere
Precipitation to the land
