Water is a transparent and nearly colorless chemical substance that is the main constituent of Earth's streams, lakes, and oceans, and the fluids of most living .
Freshwater resources are declining worldwide, with over half of global freshwater wetlands lost and one-third of countries facing water scarcity. While water is essential for food production, using 1,000 tons of water to produce one ton of wheat, only 0.5% of the world's total water is usable freshwater. As populations grow and freshwater supplies dwindle, desalination of seawater through reverse osmosis membrane technology is becoming a more viable option to develop new regional water sources.
The Ganges River flows through India and Bangladesh and is a major source of pollution. It passes through many cities and towns, receiving untreated sewage and waste. During religious festivals, people leave waste which pollutes the river. A coal power plant near Kanpur adds fly ash. This pollution affects wildlife like dolphins and fish accumulating mercury. Innovative solutions proposed to reduce pollution include reducing plastics, chemicals, and properly disposing of waste and medicines. An oceanarium can house marine life and educate about ocean conservation.
AS geography - Bangladesh case study for river floodingEvie-Anne Davis
Over 2,000 people died due to reluctance to evacuate as wells became polluted, causing 10,000 to contract waterborne diseases. 25 million people were left homeless as 44 schools were destroyed and 4,000 damaged, disrupting education. The floods caused $1 billion in damages to crops, property, and factories, leaving many unemployed as 80% of Bangladesh relies on agriculture and 550,000 hectares of land couldn't be planted. 100,000 km of roads were destroyed. The floods deposited fertile silt but also polluted rivers with sewage and waste. The flooding in Bangladesh was made worse by deforestation, urban growth, location in a floodplain with low elevation, heavy monsoon rains, and
The Medellín River flows through the city of Medellín, Colombia, originating in the mountains and flowing 100km before joining other rivers. It has historically served as a dumping ground for sewage from the city, becoming heavily contaminated with organic waste and toxic chemicals. Just 3 miles of the 100km river running through Medellín are free from pollution. The local government has implemented initiatives like wastewater treatment plants to improve water quality in the river, but it remains polluted from activities like sand extraction and waste dumping. Various pathogens, chemicals, excess nutrients and sediments pollute the river's water and impact aquatic life.
Water is essential for life but only 2.5% of Earth's water is fresh water, while 97.5% is salt water in oceans. As populations increase, desalination of salt water emerges as a solution to provide more potable water. Desalination is a technique that removes excess salts from salt water or brackish water, converting it into safe drinking water. The desalination process produces both potable fresh water that has lower salt and mineral content, and brine with higher salt concentrations than the original salt water. Future desalination technologies will be needed to meet increasing global fresh water demands.
Manchhar Lake is Pakistan's largest freshwater lake, located in Sindh province. It is oval-shaped and varies in size from 30 to 200 square miles depending on the season. The lake faces severe pollution problems from toxic waste discharged through drains, which has reduced its biodiversity and bird populations. Efforts are needed to reduce pollution and protect this important wetland habitat.
Water crisis In Pakistan / causes of water shortage / water problems in pakistannidaniazi2
Water is a critical resource for life but Pakistan faces a severe water crisis. Pakistan's per capita water availability has declined significantly from 1500 cubic meters in 2009 to an estimated 1000 cubic meters currently and is projected to further decline to 1000 cubic meters by 2025, at which point Pakistan would reach absolute water scarcity. The key causes of Pakistan's water crisis include inadequate water infrastructure, failure of government to ensure adequate supply, domestic water abuse, lack of additional reservoirs, and high water consumption by agriculture and industry. Urgent national action is needed to address this crisis through improved infrastructure, conservation efforts, and integrated water management.

Wetlands are transitional lands between terrestrial and aquatic systems where water covers the land or is at or near the surface. Ahiron Beel wetland in India provides important functions like recreation, erosion control, flood buffering, nurseries, and wildlife habitat. Conservation efforts for Ahiron Beel focus on preserving wetland flora and fauna, preventing biotic interference, maintaining water quality, and preventing pollution. The wetland faces threats from population growth, agriculture, siltation, and pollution, so government protection and management efforts are needed to sustainably conserve its important resources and functions.
Demolition Of River Yamuna By Rubina & Akshatasubzero64
The document summarizes information about the Yamuna River in India, including its origins, catchment areas, and reasons for pollution. It discusses objectives of the Yamuna Action Plan to clean the river through sewage interception, treatment plants, and electric crematoria. Water quality is monitored by government agencies. Public participation is needed to reduce open defecation, waste disposal, and change attitudes towards sustainable water use.
The Ganges River is one of the major rivers in India, flowing through northern India and draining into the Bay of Bengal. It is considered sacred in Hinduism. However, since the 1950s, population growth and industrialization have resulted in large amounts of untreated municipal and industrial wastewater being discharged into the river. Other pollutants include remains from cremations and chemicals from industries. This heavy pollution has made the water unsafe for drinking and bathing, and has increased water-borne diseases. Solutions proposed include installing sewage treatment plants, regulating cremation areas, and improving solid waste management.
The Sundarban Forest in Bangladesh makes significant contributions to the country's economy. It covers about 6,000 square kilometers in Bangladesh and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The forest contributes over 5 billion taka annually to Bangladesh's economy through tourism, protection from natural disasters, and livelihoods for local people. However, the forest also faces threats from illegal logging, pollution from oil spills and ship sinkings, and potential contamination from a planned coal-fired power plant. The government is implementing projects to sustainably develop the forest's resources and increase local incomes, while also working to limit environmental damage and overexploitation of the forest.
This document analyzes water resources in India through statistical reports and case studies. It discusses India's main water sources as rainfall and Himalayan glaciers/snowmelt. Most river flows occur during the monsoon season. It classifies India's rivers and examines water availability and usage. Major issues addressed include uneven distribution of water across regions, increasing groundwater usage, and growing water pollution levels threatening resources. Tables and graphs show water supply data by horsepower and increasing pollution over time. The conclusion stresses the importance of efficient water usage and reducing pollution to sustain resources.
Water covers three fourths of the Earth's surface and is one of our most important natural resources. Most water on Earth is not suitable for drinking, and only 3% of water is fresh. Rain is the primary source of fresh water, but many places only receive rain for 2-3 months each year so we must conserve this vital resource. Water is obtained from various sources like rivers, lakes, wells, and tubewells, and structures like canals, dams, and rainwater harvesting help collect and store fresh water for household and agricultural use.
This document discusses several major rivers that are endangered due to climate change and human activities. It summarizes the key threats facing 10 major rivers globally, including the Ganges, Indus, Nile, Yangtze, and Mekong Rivers. The rivers are threatened by excessive water usage, proposed dam construction, pollution, deforestation, and climate change impacts like more extreme weather. The document warns that without action, many rivers will dry up in the coming decades, endangering the people and ecosystems that rely on them.
The Uyuni salt lake in Bolivia is the largest salt lake in the world, covering 12,000 square kilometers at an elevation of 3,650 meters. It is considered one of the seven natural wonders of the world and becomes the largest mirror in the world after rains. The lake has approximately 11 layers of salt between 2 to 10 meters deep, with a maximum depth of 120 meters. It contains an estimated 10 billion tonnes of salt, with 25,000 tonnes extracted each year primarily through evaporation from mounds before transport.

The 22km stretch of the Yamuna river in Delhi is severely polluted, contributing over 80% of the pollution to the entire 1300km river despite making up only 2% of its length. Untreated sewage from Delhi's 22 drains flows directly into the Yamuna, reducing the dissolved oxygen levels and making the water unfit for even bathing. Despite significant government spending, pollution levels have only risen as sewage treatment remains inadequate due to outdated infrastructure and lack of enforcement. Saving the Yamuna is important for fresh water, groundwater recharge, flood control, recreation, and community well-being.

The document discusses the importance of conserving water bodies in Bangladesh for agriculture, water resources management, and sustainable livelihoods. It notes that over 200,000 hectares of agricultural land and 130,000 people depend on water bodies like the Turag River. However, many water bodies are becoming polluted and silted due to waste disposal, population growth, and encroachment. The document recommends dredging rivers, preventing industrial pollution, reclaiming encroached land, and raising public awareness to conserve Bangladesh's threatened water bodies.
The hydrology of Africa is very diverse, with some areas having only sporadic rivers while other areas have large rivers over thousands of kilometers long. Most of Africa's lakes are located in the Great Rift Valley, including some of the continent's largest lakes such as Victoria Lake, Tanganyika Lake, and Lake Nyasa. The majority of rivers in Africa are seasonal and depend on rainfall, with the longest being the Nile River which flows over 6,600 kilometers from Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean Sea.
Water is essential for life but scarce in much of Africa. The continent has diverse hydrology, from vast deserts with only seasonal rivers to huge river systems thousands of miles long. The largest lake is Lake Chad, though it is shrinking due to environmental problems. Most notable is the Nile River, over 6,600 km long. Lack of drinking water is a major issue as much of Africa's water is saline ocean or sea water. Various organizations work to improve access to water in Africa where indicators often exceed acceptable pollution levels.

Agriculture is the backbone of India's economy but faces several issues for taxation. Taxing farmers is difficult due to the uncertainties of harvests and assessing income. While treating all sectors equally is ideal, taxing agriculture risks reducing investments and production, and faces administrative challenges given its political sensitivities and India's WTO commitments.
The students felt there was a decline in agriculture in their local area, with farmland being converted to real estate and excessive use of chemicals. They imagined creating awareness about protecting farmland, the past and present state of agriculture, and the harmful effects of chemicals. The students conducted rallies, seminars where they presented drama and distributed pamphlets to create agriculture awareness and teach natural alternatives to chemicals. This led to greater awareness and interest in agriculture among the local community.

This document summarizes changes to various lakes and water systems around the world due to factors like dam construction, irrigation, population growth, and climate change. It provides before and after satellite images of lakes that have significantly shrunk, like Lake Chad, the Aral Sea, and Lake Tonga in Algeria. It also shows images of lakes where water levels and surface areas have increased due to dam projects, such as Lake Manantali in Mali. The document highlights the pressures facing many freshwater sources and wetlands from human activities and the environment.
The document discusses the unique characteristics of rivers in Kerala, India that originate from the Western Ghats mountain range. It notes that the rivers have short lengths but support a high population density and biodiversity. Six major threats to the rivers are identified: catchment deforestation, dams and diversions, sand mining, incorrect land use, pollution, and encroachments. Three rivers are highlighted as either on the brink of dying (Chalakudy River) or already dying/dead (Periyar and Bharathapuzha Rivers) due to these threats and flow modifications from dams. The document calls for plans to restore rivers to more "living" states through ecological restoration, improved dam management, and strengthened
The document summarizes key concepts about the biosphere, biochemical cycles, biomes, and aquatic biomes. It defines the biosphere as the layer of life around Earth that contains all living things. It describes major biochemical cycles like the carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles that are essential for life. It then explains the characteristics and examples of different terrestrial biomes like tropical forests, grasslands, and tundra as well as aquatic biomes like lakes, rivers, wetlands, oceans, and coral reefs. Throughout, it emphasizes the interconnectedness of living and nonliving components of ecosystems.
Water , meaning of water, its uses , advantages , purpose for its being used , current scenario of water, cause of water pollution and steps to conserve these resource.
This document summarizes a lecture on water resources. It discusses that water is the planet's most abundant natural resource but only a small percentage is available for human use. It then provides details on water resources in India, noting that while the country receives significant annual rainfall, only about a third can be accessed for use due to issues of storage, flooding and seasonal variation. The document also outlines various threats to freshwater supplies from climate change, overconsumption, and pollution. It discusses potential solutions like river interlinking projects in India as well as desalination, but notes the high energy costs associated with the latter.
Groundwater is an important source of fresh water, providing nearly 60% of the world's fresh water. It occurs below the earth's surface in porous rock formations called aquifers. There are two main types of aquifers - confined and unconfined. Water scarcity is increasing and is caused by factors like population growth, water pollution, misuse of water, low rainfall, and decreases in groundwater recharge areas. Steps must be taken to control these factors, including rainwater harvesting, reducing impervious surfaces, and public awareness campaigns about water conservation and pollution prevention.
Coral reefs are important ecosystems that support a high level of biodiversity and provide economic and ecological benefits. They are formed through the relationship between tiny polyp animals and algae, but are threatened by coastal development, pollution, overfishing, warmer oceans, and increasing acidity. While healthy coral reefs are colorful and diverse ecosystems, bleached reefs have lost their algae and appear white and empty.
This document summarizes water resources in India. It discusses that while the total water available globally is around 1600 million cubic km, only around 0.26% of that is readily usable by humans. It then discusses India's water resources in more detail, noting that the average annual rainfall is 1170 mm but varies widely in different parts of the country. Surface water and groundwater are the main sources of irrigation water. The document estimates India's total water demand in 2050 to be between 970-1200 billion cubic meters but total availability to be between 1100-1400 billion cubic meters, requiring conservation efforts. It concludes with suggestions for water conservation like improving irrigation efficiency and reducing losses.
This document discusses river pollution in India. It provides details on the various sources of river pollution including industry, agriculture, and homes. Some key pollutants are identified such as sewage, chemicals, and trash. The effects of river pollution on health, aquatic life, and flooding are outlined. Examples of highly polluted rivers in India are described like the Yamuna and Ganga. Specific cases of river pollution affecting agriculture in the states of Tamil Nadu and Trichy are mentioned. Prevention methods for river pollution are suggested such as proper waste disposal, avoiding plastics, and sewage treatment plants.
Natural resources include renewable resources like forests, wildlife, and solar energy as well as non-renewable resources like fossil fuels and minerals. It is important to conserve natural resources and use them judiciously. The document then discusses India's major natural resources like forests, water, and minerals. It provides details on the types of each resource, their uses, issues with overexploitation, and examples of important occurrences in India.
This document discusses various sources of water supply, including wells, boreholes, fountains, rivers, and different regions. Wells are cheap to make but can be contaminated. Boreholes are self-sufficient but dependent on rain. Rivers provide water for daily needs but are often polluted by industrial and agricultural waste. The natural water cycle involves evaporation, precipitation, and runoff that moves water through the atmosphere and environment.
1. Mountain environments are important but also face threats from climate change, land degradation, pollution, and overtourism.
2. Conservation efforts include using renewable energy, reducing waste, promoting eco-friendly infrastructure and practices, and ensuring local economic benefits from tourism.
3. Achieving "leave no trace" and "zero waste" goals in mountain areas is challenging due to lack of waste management infrastructure and decomposition issues at high altitudes.
4. All stakeholders including local communities, tourists, guides, and governments must work together and take responsibility to protect mountain environments through sustainable practices.

Wetlands are defined as lands covered with water all or part of the year. They are characterized by three factors: hydrology, hydric soils, and hydrophytic vegetation. Wetlands provide many benefits including pollutant filtration, flood control, habitat provision, and biological productivity. However, over 50% of the world's original wetlands have been lost due to human activities like development, agriculture, and pollution. This has negative environmental consequences like increased flooding and loss of biodiversity. India contains many types of wetlands, but they cover only an estimated 3% of the country's land area. Conservation efforts aim to protect remaining critical wetlands and involve local communities.

In business, engineering and manufacturing, quality has a pragmatic interpretation as the non-inferiority or superiority of something; it is also defined as fitness for purpose. Quality is a perceptual, conditional, and somewhat subjective attribute and may be understood differently by different people.
Global warming is caused by an increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide that absorb and emit radiation, trapping heat in the lower atmosphere. This leads to a rise in sea levels and more extreme weather events. To stop global warming, people need to reduce fossil fuel usage and energy consumption, plant more trees to absorb carbon dioxide, and reduce waste production which generates methane and other greenhouse gases.

(Q)SAR Assessment Framework: Guidance for Assessing (Q)SAR Models and Predict...hannahthabet
The webinar provided an overview of the new OECD (Q)SAR Assessment Framework for evaluating the scientific validity of (Q)SAR models, predictions, and results from multiple predictions. The QAF provides assessment elements for existing principles for evaluating models, as well as new principles for evaluating predictions and results. In addition to the principles, assessment elements, and guidance for evaluating each element, the QAF includes a checklist for reporting assessments.
This new Framework provides regulators with a consistent and transparent approach for reviewing the use of (Q)SAR predictions in a regulatory context and increases the confidence to accept alternative methods for evaluating chemical hazards. The OECD worked closely together with the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Italy) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), supported by a variety of international experts to develop a checklist of criteria and guidance for evaluating each criterion. The aim of the QAF is to help establish confidence in the use of (Q)SARs in evaluating chemical safety, and was designed to be applicable irrespective of the modelling technique used to build the model, the predicted endpoint, and the intended regulatory purpose.
The webinar provided an overview of the project and presented the main aspects of the framework for assessing models and results based on individual or multiple predictions.
Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.
