1. Industrial use of resources Julius, Elisa, Gergo, Mia, Simon, Anu, Rebecca, Steph

2. A kilogram of paper needs 1000 liters of water • A pair of jeans needs 2000 liters of water • A car needs 400,000 liters of water

3. Belgium • Most important industries • Chocolate • Textile • Beer

4. Belgium • AB Inbev • 2011: 3,71 l water / 1 l beer • 2012: 3,50 l water / 1 l beer 22.5 billion litres Less than 2009

5. Norway • Third biggest country in oil export in the world. • “The budgetary rule” • Energy • Fish industry • Hydroelectricalpower

6. Hydroelectric power

7. Germany

8. Germany • Constant decline of water from households • Bigger part is the food, clothes • Big external footprint • 159,5 cubic kilometres per year for 82,2 Million • 5 288 Litres each citizen every day including the industrial and public use • Half of the German agricultural water footprint is made by imported food

9. Germany • Goods with the biggest footprint: • Coffee, cocoa, oilseeds, cotton, meat • Biggest footprint left: • Brazil, Ivory Coast, France, the Netherlands • 14% of public water is used by the industry

10. Icelandic Freshwater Resources • Freshwater resource in Iceland is estimated to be 609 thousand cubic meters per capita per year. • We are the fourth richest country in the water world by the number of housing under the summary UNESCO. • After Greenland, Alaska and French Guinea.

11. Water source

12. Who uses the most ? • Cold Water use varies somewhat by region and type of industry in each region. • Processing plants, shrimps and dairy tend to use a lot of cold water and can therefore have a significant impact on water use in smaller towns.

13. Icelandic industries • In Iceland the most important industries are aluminium, electricity and fishery. • In all of these industries we use water, e.g. • We use waterfalls to make electricity. • We use water to keep the fish.

14. This is the dam that aluminium company built in Iceland.

15. They use this water to produce electricity so they can make the aluminium. • There is also aluminium in the water so they use that as well to make it.

16. Estonia • Meat industry ~1500 gallons of water = 1 kg beef • Oil shale industry 10-15 tons of water = 1 ton of oil shale

17. Scotland • There are many industries in Scotland such as: • Oil • Scottish water contains the largest oil resource in the EU making Scotland the EU’s largest petroleum producer. • The oil related industries are a major source of employment and income in these regions. • Over two and a half billion tonnes of oil was recovered from the UK offshore oil fields between the first North Sea crude oil coming ashore in 1975 and2002

18. Fishing • The water surrounding Scotland are some of the richest in Europe. Fish and Shellfish such as herring, crab, lobster, haddock and cod are caught it ports such as Stornoway and Oban • Fishing is an economic backbone in parts of North East Scotland and along the west coast. Shipbuilding in Glasgow • Glasgow and West Central Scotland became famous for their quality of engineering products because the area was so close to centre of iron manufacture in places such as Coatbridge and Motherwell • Between 1860 and 18670, more than 800,000 tons of iron ships were built on Clydeside

19. Scotland • Scotland is well known for it’s water.In 2006- 2007 its average household charge was lower than in England and Wales (£287 compared with £294) Scottish Water provides drinking water to 22 million households and 130,000 business customers in Scotland. • 1.3 billion litres of water is provided every day and 839 million litres of waste water is taken away from the households.

20. Hungary • Hungary uses water in tourism rather than in industries. One great example would be baths, for instance, various Turkish Baths, Gellert Bath, and Heviz. Furthermore, natural water sources are frequently visited by foreigners, like springs, lakes and streams.
