WATER CLASS VI
USES OF WATER • DRINKING • BRUSHING • WASHING UTENSILS,CLOTHES,VEHICLES • CLEANING PLATES, FLOOR • PRODUCING ELECTRICITY • AGRICULTURE, GARDENING • USED IN INDUSTRIES
WATER IN OCEANS AND SEAS IS SALTY [SALINE] AND UNFIT FOR DRINKING , INDUSTRIAL PURPOSE AND AGRICULTURE
SOURCES OF FRESH WATER • 1.RIVER
Cycling of water in nature- WATER CYCLE • Basic processes in water cycle • 1.EVAPORATION • 2.CONDENSATION • GAS [VAPOUR] • LIQUID [WATER] cooling evaporation condensation heating
EVAPORATION • THE PROCESS OF TURNING WATER TO WATER VAPOUR BY HEATING. WATER EVAPORATES FROM WATER BODIES AND OTHER SOURCES DUE TO SUN’S HEAT
THIS WATER VAPOUR JOINS THE ATMOSPHERE CONTINUOUSLY AS A SLOW PROCESS. • WATER VAPOUR ALSO REACHES THE ATMOSPHERE BY TRANSPIRATION IN PLANTS.
FORMATION OF CLOUDS • THE WATER VAPOUR MOVES UP AND UNDERGO COOLING , AND CONDENSATION TO FORM CLOUDS.
MANY TINY DROPLETS OF WATER IN THE CLOUD COME TOGETHER TO FORM LARGER DROPS WHICH ARE HEAVIER AND FALL AS RAIN.
CONDENSATION • THE PROCESS BY WHICH WATER- VAPOUR TURNS TO WATER ON COOLING.
EXCESSIVE COOLING OF WATER VAPOUR RESULTS IN SNOW FALL / HAIL
THE WATER THAT FALLS ON LAND AS RAIN AND SNOW AGAIN UNDERGO CIRCULATION RAIN WATER SURFACE RUN OFF JOIN RIVERS LAKES AND OCEAN INFILTRATION GO DEEP IN THE SOIL SOIL WATER USED BY PLANTS GROUND WATER SOUCE FOR BOREWELL
DEPLETION OF WATER TABLE infiltration • Water table may go down if the water is not sufficiantly replenished. Consumption of ground water Ground water
REASONS OF DEPLETION OF WATER TABLE • 1. DEFORESTATION
CONSERVATION OF WATER • AVOID WASTAGE
CONSERVATION OF WATER • REPAIR LEAKING TAP
CONSERVATION OF WATER • REUSE /RECYCLE IF POSSIBLE
WATER WISE HABITS DIRECT USED KITCHEN WATER TO YOUR GARDEN .
WATER WISE HABITS • WASH VESSELSUSING COLLECTED WATER INSTEAD OFWASHING DIRECTLY UNDER TAP.
WATER WISE HABITS • MOP THE FLOOR INSTEAD OF WASHING
WATER WISE HABITS • TURN OFF TAP WHILE BRUSHING
ROOF TOP RAINWATER HARVESTING • RAINWATER IS COLLECTED FROM THE ROOF OF BUILDINGS AND STORED IN TANKS AFTER FILTRATION.
SURFACE RUN OFF WATER PERCOLATION
INFILTRATION PITS • IT SOAKS WATER & DIRECT IT TO UNDER GROUND TO RECHARGE GROUND WATER Pit filled with gravel
GRASSY PATCHES & OTHER VEGETATIONS • HELPS IN INFILTRATION
DRIP IRRIGATION- saves water • A TECHNIQUE OF WATERING PLANTS BY USING NARROW TUBES WHICH SUPPLY WATER AT THE BASE OF PLANTS AS TINY DROPS.
