Water is essential for life. It is vital for metabolic processes in living organisms and is central to photosynthesis, respiration, and other life-sustaining functions. Throughout history, civilizations have developed around sources of fresh water like rivers and oceans, which enabled trade and transportation. Aquatic ecosystems harbor diverse life forms, and the human body itself is largely composed of water. However, access to clean water is a growing concern as sources become polluted or overused.

Freshwater is relatively pure and contains few dissolved salts.
Earth has a precious layer of water—most of it saltwater—covering about 71% of the earth’s surface.
Water is an irreplaceable chemical with unique properties that keep us and other forms of life alive. A person could survive for several weeks without food, but for only a few days without water
Water is the most important source of life on earth. Impure and polluted water have become a serious threat to human sustenance.Contaminated water is the major cause of serious diseases in both humans and animals.That is why it is very important to be cautious about the type of water you are drinking.
SOURCE OF DRINKING WATER
TYPES OF DRINKING WATeR
About Water
97% of the water on the Earth is salt water. However, only 3% percent is fresh water; slightly over 2/3 of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.
The remaining unfrozen freshwater is found mainly as groundwater, with only a small fraction present above ground or in the air.
Fresh water is a renewable resource
Surface water
Surface water is water in a river, lake or fresh water wetland. Surface water is naturally replenished by precipitation and naturally lost through discharge to the oceans, evaporation, and sub-surface seepage
Ground Water
Sub-surface water, or groundwater, is fresh water located in the pore space of soil and rocks. It is also water that is flowing within aquifers below the water table
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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. • Waste Water = Spoiled water
• Wastewater = Passes through its optimum
uses

3. Water storage
• Some runoff water is trapped for periods of time, for
example in lakes.
• At high altitude, during winter, and in the far north and
south, snow collects in ice caps and glaciers.
• Water also infiltrates the ground and goes into aquifers.
• This groundwater later flows back to the surface in
springs, or more spectacularly in hot springs.
• Groundwater is also extracted artificially in wells.
• This water storage is important, since clean, fresh water
is essential to human and other land-based life.
• In many parts of the world, it is in short supply.
3
4. Sea water
• Sea water contains about 3.5% salt on average,
plus smaller amounts of other substances.
• The physical properties of sea water differ from
fresh water in some important respects.
• It freezes at a lower temperature (about -1.9oC)
and its density increases with decreasing
temperature to the freezing point, instead of
reaching maximum density at a temperature
above freezing.
4
5. Effects on life
• From a biological standpoint, water has many distinct
properties that are critical for the proliferation of life that
set it apart from other substances.
• All known forms of life depend on water.
• Water is vital both as a solvent in which many of the
body's solutes dissolve and as an essential part of many
metabolic processes within the body.
• Water is thus essential and central to these metabolic
processes.
• Therefore, without water, these metabolic processes
would cease to exist.
5
6. • Water is also central to photosynthesis
and respiration.
• Photosynthetic cells use the sun's energy
to split off water's hydrogen from oxygen.
• Hydrogen is combined with CO2 to form
glucose and release oxygen.
• All living cells use such fuels and oxidize
the hydrogen and carbon to capture the
sun's energy and reform water and CO2 in
the process.
6
7. Effects on human civilization
• Civilization has historically flourished around rivers
and major waterways.
• Most of the civilizations were situated around the
major rivers and oceans.
• The ancient society of the Egyptians depended
entirely upon the Nile.
• Large metropolises like London, Montreal, Paris,
New York City, Buenos Aires, Shanghai, Tokyo,
Chicago, and Hong Kong owe their success in part
to their easy accessibility via water and the resultant
expansion of trade.
• Islands with safe water ports, like Singapore, have
flourished for the same reason.
06/14/12 7
8. Aquatic life forms
• Earth's waters are filled with life.
• The earliest life forms appeared in water; nearly all fish
live exclusively in water.
• There are many types of marine mammals, such as
dolphins and whales that also live in the water.
• Some kinds of animals, such as amphibians, spend
portions of their lives in water and portions on land.
• Plants such as algae grow in the water and are the basis
for some underwater ecosystems.
• Plankton is generally the foundation of the ocean
food chain.
06/14/12 8
9. Health and pollution
• Water fit for human consumption is called drinking
water or potable water.
• Water that is not potable can be made potable by
filtration or distillation (heating it until it becomes water
vapor, and then capturing the vapor without any of the
impurities it leaves behind), or by other methods.
• Sometimes the term safe water is applied to potable
water of a lower quality threshold.
• Water that is not fit for drinking but is not harmful for
humans when used for swimming or bathing is called by
various names other than potable or drinking water, and
is sometimes called safe water, or "safe for bathing".
06/14/12 9
10. • This natural resource is becoming scarcer
in certain places, and its availability is a
major social and economic concern.
• Poor water quality and bad sanitation are
deadly; some five million deaths a year
are caused by polluted drinking water.
• The World Health Organization estimates
that safe water could prevent 1.4 million
child deaths from diarrhea each year.
06/14/12 10
11. • In the developing world, 90% of all
wastewater still goes untreated into local
rivers and streams.
• Some 50 countries, with roughly a third of
the world’s population, also suffer from
medium or high water stress.
• The strain not only affects surface
freshwater bodies like rivers and lakes, but
it also degrades groundwater resources.
11
12. Human uses
• The human body is anywhere from 55% to 78%
water depending on body size.
• To function properly, the body requires between
one and seven liters of water per day to avoid
dehydration; the precise amount depends on the
level of activity, temperature, humidity, and other
factors.
• Most of this is ingested through foods or
beverages other than drinking straight water.
12
13. • It is not clear how much water intake is
needed by healthy people, though most
advocates agree that 6–7 glasses of water
(approximately 2 liters) daily is the
minimum to maintain proper hydration.
• Medical literature favors a lower
consumption, typically 1 liter of water for
an average person, excluding extra
requirements due to fluid loss from
exercise or warm weather.
13
14. • Humans require water that does not
contain too many impurities.
• Common impurities include metal salts
and oxides (including copper, iron, calcium
and lead) and/or harmful bacteria, such as
Vibrio.
• Some solutes are acceptable and even
desirable for taste enhancement.
14
15. Agriculture
• The most important use of water in
agriculture is for irrigation, which is a key
component to produce enough food.
• Irrigation takes up to 90% of water
withdrawn in some developing countries
and significant proportions in more
economically developed countries.
