The Philippines has an abundance of natural water forms due to its many islands and long coastline. Watersheds are areas of land that drain into rivers and lakes, and they come in various sizes and shapes. Watersheds are important sources of water for communities and help generate electricity. They also support biodiversity as the Philippines has many endemic plant and animal species found nowhere else, making it one of the most diverse countries. Maintaining healthy watersheds is important for a sustainable water supply.

The total volume of water on Earth is estimated at 1.386 billion km³ (333 million cubic miles), with 97.5% being salt water and 2.5% being fresh water. Of the fresh water, only 0.3% is in liquid form on the surface. In addition, the lower mantle of inner earth may hold as much as 5 times more water than all surface water combined (all oceans, all lakes, all rivers).

Natural resource management is a discipline in the management of natural resources such as land, water, soil, plants and animals, with a particular focus on how management affects the quality of life for both present and future generations. Soil is defined as the unconsolidated portion of the earth's crust modified through physical, chemical, and biotic processes into a medium capable of supporting plant growth. Soil properties influence the natural and the physical infrastructure of the landscape and ecosystems.
Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion.
Response of material to the arrival of energy fronts released by rupture.
Energy that travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs.

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.
How to Split Bills in the Odoo 17 POS ModuleCeline George
Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.

2. The Philippines boasts of many
different kinds of natural water
forms, such as bays, rivers,
lakes, falls, gulfs, straits, and
swamps.
Because it is made up of
islands, the country's coastline
(seashore) if laid end-to-end,
would measure around 17.5
thousand kilometers.
3. For some, rain and typhoons
result in flooding, landslides,
and health related-problems.
But water is one of nature’s
gifts to us. People need fresh
water for many purposes.
4. We use water for domestic
purposes, for irrigation, and
for industries.
We need water to generate
electricity.
We use water for recreation or
its aesthetic value.
Many resorts are located near
springs, waterfalls or lakes.
5. Where does water in your
community come from?
You collect them when the
rain falls or get them from
the river, deep well, or
spring.
But where does water from
rivers, lakes, and springs
originate?
6. Watershed
an area of land on a slope which
drains its water into a stream and
its tributaries (small streams that
supply water to a main stream).
This is the reason why a watershed
is sometimes called a catchment
area or drainage basin.
7. It includes the surface of the land
and the underground rock
formation drained by the stream.
Watersheds come in all shapes
and sizes.
They cross towns and provinces.
In other parts of the world, they
may cross national boundaries.
8.
9.
10. There are many watersheds in the Philippines
basically because we have abundant rainfall.
Do you know that Mt. Apo in Davao-
Cotabato, Makiling-Banahaw in Laguna and
Quezon, and Tiwi in Albay are watersheds?
You must have heard about La Mesa Dam in
Metro Manila, Pantabangan Dam in
Pampanga, and Angat Dam in Bulacan. These
watersheds are sources of water of many
communities in the area. The Maria Cristina
Falls in Iligan City is in a watershed; it is used
to generate electricity.
11. But watersheds are not just about
water. A single watershed may
include combination of forest,
grassland, marshes, and other
habitats.
Diverse organisms in the Philippines
are found in these areas! Being a
tropical country, the Philippines has
abundant rainfall, many bodies of
water, and lots of sunshine.
12. The right temperature and
abundant rainfall explain partly
why our country is considered to
be a mega-diverse country.
This means that we have high
diversity of plants and animals,
both on land and in water
(PhilippineClearing House Mechanism
Website, 2012)
13. Reports show that in many
islands of the Philippine
archipelago, there is a high
number of endemic plants
and animals (endemic
means found only in the
Philippines).
14. The country hosts more than
52,177 described species of which
more than half is found nowhere
else in the world.
They say that on a per unit area
basis, the Philippines shelters more
diversity of life than any other
country on the planet.
15. For now remember that
the main function of a
watershed is the
production of a
continuous water supply
that would maintain the
lifeforms within it and in
the area fed by its stream.
16. Later you will learn that
besides supporting the
survival of varied life forms,
abundant water in the country
is important in moderating
temperature.
This topic will be discussed
later.
17. Have you ever asked yourself
the following questions?
If we have abundant rainfall
to feed watersheds, why do
we experience drought some
parts of the year?
What factors affect the
health of a watershed?
18. Is there a way of regulating
the flow of water in
watershed so that there will
be enough for all throughout
the year?
What can people do to keep
watersheds ‘healthy’?
