A water footprint is the amount of water used directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, or community on a daily basis. It includes water used for household needs, food consumption, and other activities. Most of the Earth's water is salty and located in oceans, with only a small fraction being freshwater available for human use. Freshwater sources include groundwater stored underground in aquifers, and surface water found in lakes, rivers, and streams. Water can exist in three states - liquid, gas (water vapor), and solid (ice) - and moves continuously through the water cycle by changing states and flowing across and within the Earth. Water is essential for human survival and is used for domestic, agricultural, industrial, and

2. Water Footprint
A waterfootprint is an important footprint that a person
leaves on the environment . It is the amount of water
used during the day in the house , at school , as well as in
the food eaten by that person.

Ground water
Groundwater is the water found
underground in the cracks and spaces
in soil,sand and rocks.
Aquifers
The spaces with water in the
underground rocks are known as
Aquifers.
Surface water
Surface water is naturally occuring
water on the earth’s surface,ponds
lakes,rivers, and streams.

 Known as Hydrological cycle.
 The water cycle describes how Earth’s water is not only
always changing states between liquid(rain),solid(ice),and
gas (vapour),but also moving on,above,and inside earth.

10. Uses of Water
Domestic use
Water is not only used for drinking or cooking food, It is used in so
many works such as washing clothes, need for plant, bathing and
used in many experiments as an agent.
In a house, water is needed for carrying out various activities.
The system of drawing water from treatment plant and making it
available at all appliances (fixtures) for use is known as domestic
water supply system.

12. Commercial and Industrial use
Commercial and Industrial Uses of Water. Besides being
vital for human survival, water is also necessary in
commerce and in industry.
Agricultural Use
Agricultural water is used for irrigation, pesticide and
fertilizer applications , crop cooling (for example,
light irrigation), and frost control.

often defined as
long-term water-level
declines caused by

issue associated
with groundwater

20. Plants Without Water?
Plants need nutrients from the soil, water, and light from
the sun to grow and stay alive. If plants did not
get water, they would die.
