  3. WATER ANDAGRICULTURE Group I

  4. WATER

  5. Fresh water

  6. 1 800 rivers and streams 6 main rivers: 1.Tagus(Tajo) - 1,038km. 2.Ebro - 910km. 3.Douro(Duero) – 897km. 4.Guadiana(Odiana) – 742km. 5.Guadalquivir – 657km. 6.Minho(Mino)-340km. Fresh water in Spain

  7. Danube-second longest river in Europe–1 075km. • Mures-761km. • Prut-742km. • Over 3 400 lakes. The biggest are: 1.The Red lake 2.LakeSt. Ana 3.Lake Bucura Romania

  8. No large and deep lakes Dams: 1.Iskyr dam 2.Studen kladenetz 3.Dospat 4.Shiroka Polyana Bulgaria

  9. Vistula-1047km. • Oder-854km. • Warta-808km. • Masuria Lakes District Poland

  10. Three main rivers: 1.The Seine 2.The Loire 3.The Rhone France

  11. Romania – The Salt Lake, The Black Sea • Spain – Atlantic Ocean, Alboran Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Balearic Sea • Poland – Baltic Sea • Lithuania – Baltic Sea and Curonian Lagoon • France – Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic Ocean (Bay of Biscay) Salty water

  12. Poland – not enough water because of reduced rainfalls and falling trees • France - not enough water as well • Lithuania and Romania – no increased risk from the lack of water • Spain - resources diminished dramatically • Bulgaria – one of the poorest countries in Europe into water Short water resources

  13. Water for life All living organisms need water to live No water = no life

  25. Agriculture

  26. It provides us with food! It provides us with materials for clothing and shelter About half the world’s workers are employed in agriculture Importance of agriculture

  27. Poland – 45% • Bulgaria - 59% • France -35% • Romania - 44% • Spain -40% • Lithuania – 45% Agricultural Area

  28. Poland: potatoes, wheat, pork, beef, strawberries, apples, black currant • Lithuania: wheat, oats, buckwheat, barley • Bulgaria: essential oils, fruits, vegetables, wheat • France: wheat, cereals, sugar beets, potatoes, wine grapes • Romania: soy beans, sugar beats, wheat and oats, corn, barley • Spain: grain, vegetables, olives, wine grapes, sugar beets, citrus, fish Main agriculture products

  29. New technologies • Re-using grey water • Growing cotton and rice Saving water in agriculture

  30. Thanks for your attention!

  31. ENERGY Group 2

  32. Natural resource which cannot be produced, grown, generated, or used on a scale Tipes of non-renewable energy in each country: • Poland – coal, lignit, oil, natural gas • Romania - uranium, nuclear, coal, oil, natural gas • Lithuania – coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear power, oil shale and tar sands. • Bulgaria – oil, natural gas, uranium, coal. • Spain – oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear power • France – oil, natural gas, nuclear power, coal. Non-renewable energy

  33. Energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat • Types of renewable energy in each country: • Poland-renewable: wind, solar energy, hydro, geothermal • Lithuania – solar, wind, hydro, biomass, geothermall • Romania - wind, hydro, solar power, biomass • Bulgaria-wind, solar, hydro, geothermal • Spain – wind, solar, ocean • France-wind, solar, biomass, hydro RENEWABLE ENERGY

  34. Wind energy Solar energy Water energy Geothermal heat Biomass Renewable energies

  35. Lithuania – 94% • Romania – 76% • Bulgaria-81% • Spain – 94% • Poland – 93% • France – 79% RATE OF USE OF NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY IN EACH COUNTRY

  36. Rate of use of renewable energies Bulgaria – 19% France – 21% Lithuania – 6% Poland – 7% Romania – 24% Spain – 6%

  37. Import and export in each country

  38. Bulgaria imports over 70 percent of the fuel required for energy production and is interested in developing indigenous resources. • Bulgaria covers 40-50 percent of southeast Europe's entire electricity deficit every winter. • It also exports electricity to Turkey and even to Romania. Italy and Greece are negotiating a transit agreement which will permit the former to import Bulgarian electricity through the latter's territory. Bulgaria

  39. FRANCE is the world’s largest net exporter of electricity due to is very low cost of production, and gains over 3 billion Euro per year from this. • Over the last decade France has exported 80 TWh net each year, and EDF ( Electricité De France) expects exports to continue at 65-70 TWh per year to Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and United Kingdom. ` • France import very little amount of energy. France

  40. LITHUANIA’s electricity production once exceeded 12 GWh per year, and internal consumption exceeded 9,6 GWh per year. Electricity surplus was exported. • The share of renewable energy resources in the total fuel balance increased to almost 20%. Lithuania importing now electricity mainly from Russia, and from Poland, Sweden, Belarus, Ukraine and Latvia. Lithuania

  41. Being the largest hard coal producer in the EU, POLAND’s energy import dependency is among the lowest in the EU. • Agreement has been reached on a “power bridge” with Lithuania and there are plans for involvement in a new nuclear power plant. Poland is a net electricity exporter ( over 11 GWh per year ) and was the only EU country to became import independent in the electricity sector. Poland

  42. Romania exported non - renewable energy to Greece, Turkey, Hungary, (600 MW monthly in 2008, 180 MW monthly in 2009, because of the world’s crisis). • Romania import non- renewable energy from Ukraine - 15 MW monthly in 2008. From 2009 the export stopped, being a political exchange. Romania has an important excess of production. Romania

  43. SPAIN strongly depends on energy imports, while domestic production is main related to nuclear energy. • Oil ( imported mainly from Arabian countries and Nigeria) and natural gas dominate Spain’s primary energy supply, with an aggregate 67% of total. • Spain importing over 11,5 TWh per year from France. Spain

  44. CoalNatural Gas Oil Environment problems connected with non-renewable resources Uranium

  45. The greenhouse effect is important. Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth would not be warm enough for humans to live. But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, it could make the Earth warmer than usual. Even a little extra warming may cause problems for humans, plants, and animals. Global warming, a recent warming of the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere, is believed to be the result of a strengthening of the greenhouse effect mostly due to human-produced increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases. Greenhouse Effect

  46. AcidRain

  47. It’s rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic. What it is?
