WATER RESOURCES
Water Resources
Water resources are sources of – usually fresh – water that are useful, or
potentially useful, to society; for instance for agricultural, industrial or
recreational use. Examples include groundwater, rivers, lakes and reservoirs.
Groundwater - water held underground in the soil or in pores and crevices in
rock.
Reservoirs - a large natural or artificial lake used as a source of water supply.
Lakes - A lake is a large body of water within a body of land.
Rivers - a large natural stream of water flowing in a channel to the sea, a lake, or
another such stream.
Water’s Importance
The human body uses water in all its cells, organs, and tissues to help
regulate its temperature and maintain other bodily functions. Because the
body loses water through breathing, sweating, and digestion, it's important
to rehydrate by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water.
Water is essential for the healthy growth of farm crops and farm stock and
is used in the manufacture of many products. It is most important that the
water which people drink and use for other purposes is clean water.
Water Problems
Water Pollution – Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies, usually as a
result of human activities. Water bodies include for example lakes, rivers, oceans,
aquifers and groundwater. Water pollution results when contaminants are introduced
into the natural environment.
Water Depletion – Water depletion means depletion means drastic reduction in the
total amount of usable water due to human activities and change in the environment
Climate Change - Climate change intensifies water cycle because as air
temperatures increase, more water evaporates into the air.
LAND RESOURCESLAND RESOURCES
What are Land Resources ?
Land is among the most important natural resources. It covers
up only 29% of the earth’s surface and all parts of the land
are not habitable. The uneven distribution of population in
different parts of the world is mainly due to varied
characteristics of land and climate.
TYPES OF LAND RESOURCES
● The land is one of the natural resources.
● The property is used for many purposes.
● The public should protect the land.
● Environmental pollution is the biggest problem today.
● Many volunteers now come for ecological prevention.
● There are five types of land resources, which are iron, coal, diamond,
and oil, gold.
