  1. The Importance of Clean Water II

  2. Index • Water • Blue • Grey • Green • Water pollution • In Scotland • In Germany • In China • In Estonia • Illnesses • Developing Countries • Diseases • Different reasons

  3. 1.1 Blue water • Collectable water from rainfall. • The water that falls on roofs and hard surfaces usually flowing into rivers and the sea and recharging the ground water. • In nature the global average proportion of total rainfall that is blue water is about 40%.

  4. Facts about Blue water • About 4,000 to 5,000 km3 are annually withdrawn from blue water sources • On average, the rate of withdrawal of blue water has been about two and a half times faster than the rate of population increase during this century. • About 70 % of the total is supplied for irrigation purposes

  5. 1.2 Grey water • Water from our bathroom, showers, washing machine, etc. • It`s not from thetoilet • It is a safe and even benefical source of irrigation water in a yard

  6. 1.3 Green Water • Water transferred back to the atmosphere from soils, natural foliage and rain-fed agriculture. • The United Nations Water Program • Climate change is significantly affecting the availability of freshwater in many regions around the world.

  7. 2.1 Water pollution in Scotland • Pollution that affects our rivers, lochs and wetlands is often characterised in two different forms. • Point source pollution • Diffuse source pollution • Point source pollution can come from sewage treatment works, factories and input from fish farms. • The impacts of pollution can be a loss of biodiversity, as well as adverse effects to our own health.

  8. 2.2 Waterpollution in Germany • Quality of water: 57th place in the world - measured lakes and rivers - polluted due to farming and industry • Germany’s freshwater is one of the best in the world- drinking water is one of the cleanest all over the world.

  9. 2.3 Water pollution in China • All Chinese rivers are polluted to some degree: • Householdwater • Industrial water • Agricultural Water

  10. 2.4 In Estonia • Condition of water bodies • In the last decade the population has decreased 8% and in connection with that the load of domestic wastewater discharged into water has decreased. • Major water pollutants: • Phosphorus • Nitrogen

  11. 3.1 Developing Countries • Every day 4500 children die, because they don`t have clean water • One in six human have dirty or polluted drinking water

  12. 3.2 Diseases caused bywater Pollution • Diseases: • Cholera • Typhus • Diarrhoea • Hepatitis A and E

  13. 3.3 Reasons for Disease • Climate • Bacteria • Poor water systems • Contaminated water e.g Radioactive substances In Chernobyl.
