Rivers are important natural resources that carry water and nutrients around the world, draining 75% of the Earth's land. They provide habitat, food, and fertile soils for farming. Humans use rivers for irrigation, drinking water, transportation, hydroelectric power and other purposes. However, human activities like pollution, waste disposal, and water extraction threaten rivers and their ecosystems. Conservation efforts like reducing energy usage and properly disposing of trash can help protect rivers.
Water scarcity
This document discusses water scarcity and ways to save water. It notes that only 0.007% of earth's water is readily accessible for drinking, yet the average American uses over 500 liters per day. Simple steps people can take to conserve water include shortening shower times, turning off faucets tightly, fixing leaks immediately, and using low-flow fixtures and water-efficient appliances. Adopting these small changes can help address the growing global water crisis.
Water resources notes
Water scarcity occurs when there is insufficient water to meet normal needs like drinking and cooking. It is caused by factors like growing populations, overexploitation of water resources, increased well use, and urbanization. Conserving water is essential as water is vital for life and society's needs, but resources are unevenly distributed. Excessive groundwater use for irrigation has lowered water tables and dried wells in many places, making conservation necessary.
Urban water system protection and agriculture
Urban water systems have evolved from system 1.0 which relied on natural water circulation, to system 2.0 with centralized infrastructure for water supply and wastewater treatment. System 2.0 is now facing sustainability challenges from population growth, pollution, and climate change. System 3.0 aims to address these through a decentralized and integrated approach, using sponge infrastructure to manage stormwater, decentralized wastewater treatment plants, fit-for-purpose water supply including rainwater harvesting and reuse, and ecological zones to restore urban rivers. Recovered nutrients from wastewater can also support sustainable agriculture.

Reclaimed water is treated wastewater that is used for non-potable purposes like irrigation and groundwater recharge to conserve fresh water supplies. It is treated to remove solids and pathogens but not to drinking water standards. While reclaimed water is considered safe when used appropriately, it is not directly mixed with potable water supplies due to the potential presence of pathogens and trace chemicals that treatment cannot remove. Regulatory agencies restrict its use for non-potable purposes like irrigation and do not allow its use for drinking, bathing, or filling swimming pools.
Shortage Of Water Supply In Chennai(Semester Exam)
Chennai is facing a severe water shortage as groundwater levels have declined. Over 13,000 private water tankers mine water from surrounding rural areas to supply Chennai's growing population, damaging farms and depleting local supplies. While government projects aim to bring more water to Chennai, residents currently rely on a patchwork of municipal supplies, private tankers, and over-pumping of groundwater. Shortages are routine in the summer and long water queues are common. Ongoing issues like increasing demand, unsustainable usage, and climate change threaten to exacerbate the crisis unless conservation efforts are significantly improved.
Advantages & Disadvantages of Multipurpose projects
Multipurpose projects have several advantages: they can reduce flooding, impound water for irrigation, human and industrial use, power generation, and transportation. However, they also have disadvantages, including the inundation of land and forests, displacement of people, and disruption of infrastructure and aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, multipurpose projects face challenges of attracting private investment given their complexity, and require strong regulatory frameworks and coordination between different users and sectors to balance competing demands.

It notes that the campus currently experiences water logging during heavy rains due to lack of proper drainage infrastructure and mixing of storm water with grey and black water. It recommends a water sensitive urban design approach including [1] separating rain water from waste water using bar screens and sand traps, [2] treating waste water in stabilization ponds and wetlands to reduce pollutants before disposal, and [3] using recharge pits to redirect rain water to aquifers to address water logging and replenish groundwater. This approach aims to improve water management through sustainable practices.
Environment and Health Status in Urban and Rural India
Rural and urban areas in India face significant issues with water access and sanitation. In rural areas, most people lack piped water access and must collect water from sources like open wells or hand pumps, often spending significant time fetching water. Water quality is also an issue, with problems like arsenic contamination affecting millions of people. Sanitation infrastructure is similarly lacking, with most rural Indians practicing open defecation. In urban areas, piped supplies are unreliable and many cities face severe water shortages. Water theft and leakage exacerbate the problems in urban water systems. Overall, access to clean drinking water and sanitation remains inadequate in both rural and urban India.
The Importance Of Water Resources In Africa
Fresh water is becoming increasingly scarce as a natural resource due to various factors. As the human population grows and industrial and agricultural activities increase, the demand for fresh water is rising rapidly. If usage patterns and waste are not addressed sustainably, many regions could face severe water shortages in the coming decades that impact lives and livelihoods.
