    1. WaterChapter 20 There is the same amount of water on Earth as there was when the Earth was formed. The water from your faucet could contain molecules that dinosaurs drank!

    3. Lab Discussion What did you learn? Why do you think we test pH? City water is adjusted to ~pH 7 Why is chlorine added to drinking water? To kill bacteria, germs, and control algae What is hard water? Contains a lot of calcium and magnesium How would we know we have hard water without testing it?

    4. Potable water: Unpotable water: Definitions

    5. 20.1 Uses for Water Residential Use Personal hygiene and home cleaning Clothes washing 140-170L Showering 75-80L Machine dishwashing 56-60L Shaving 39-58L Brushing teeth 19-39L Toilet flushing 16-21L per flush Washing hands and face 4-8L

    6. Uses for Water Residential Uses Personal hygiene and home cleaning Drinking and Cooking Outside the home Watering the lawn Gardening Car washing Recreational activities (i.e. swimming pool)

    7. Uses for Water Industrial Use Transport goods Dispose of Wastes Power source Coolant Agricultural Use Irrigation: bringing water to an area for the use of growing crops Flood Furrow Overhead Subirrigation

    10. Effects of Water Use on Ecosystems Building dams Draining swamps Removal of water from natural sources Effect food chains, forcing those that feed on organisms that live in water to migrate (such as birds)

    11. Define potable water: water safe for drinking Define unpotable water: water not safe for drinking Define irrigation: the process of bringing water to an area for use in growing crops Time to Fill in your Worksheet!!

    12. Time to Fill in your Worksheet!! Three main categories in which water is used Residential Name two ways Industrial Name two ways Agricultural Name two ways Name three ways human water use effects ecosystems Dams, draining swamps, removal of water from natural sources

    13. 20.2 Water Resources Natural storage of water as a resource Surface water Streams, lakes, ponds Ground water Aquifers

    14. AQUIFERS

    15. Water Resources Problems Overdraft When a body of water is drained faster than it is filled

    16. Two problems associated with overdraft Saltwater intrusion Subsidence

    17. What is surface water? Water aboveground in streams, lakes, and ponds What is ground water? Water within porous or jointed bedrock, stored in aquifers Define water table. The top of the zone of saturation where groundwater collects and saturates the bedrock What causes overdraft? Removal of water from a body of water faster than the body of water is filled

    18. 20.3 Water TreatmentNow fill in as we go… Did you know…?? Nearly 97% of the world’s water is salty or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves only for all of humanity’s needs—all its agricultural, residential, manufacturing, community, and personal needs.

    19. Why is fresh water in many parts of the world not potable?? Ex: South America, Mexico, China, and parts of Africa When visiting these countries, should you pour your bottled water (clean water) over ice? Why or Why not?? What is limited by access to fresh water? 20.3 Water Treatment

    21. (1) Find source of water and withdrawal amount for treatment (usually a constant withdrawal for municipalities)

    22. (2) Sedimentation: Large matter falls out (leaves, sticks, big dirt particles); Coagulation: Chemical additives (coagulants) added to cause fine particles to clump together and settle out

    23. (3) Filters: Vary by treatment plant, but at least 1m thick layer of sand to trap what didn’t fall out during sedimentation and coagulation

    24. (4) Aeration: exposure of water to air and sunlight to add oxygen as a purifying agentSterilization: Ozone is a strong sterilizer, but often chlorine is used because it is less expensive

    25. (5) Storage Reservoirs: Several types, and generally located at the highest point of the distribution plane

    26. (6) Distribution to consumers

    27. Alternatives Salt water? YES! Desalination (removing of the salt)…expensive, but some states are resorting to this! Wells Cisterns

    28. What are the six main steps in water purification/water treatment? Locate and withdrawal from source Sedimentation and coagulation Filtration Aeration and Sterilization Storage Distribution to consumers
