Title: Chapter 11 WATER


1
Chapter 11WATER
  • Mr. Manskopf
  • Notes can also be found at http//www.manskopf.com

2
How many bodies of water can you
identify/locate? Is there more or less water on
Earth today then there was 1 billion years ago?
3
Goals for Chapter 11
  • Describe where Earths water resources are
    located.
  • How is Earths water a limited resource?
  • How can we manage our water resources better?
  • What are the main causes and impacts of water
    pollution?

4
Next time you take a drink, think about where
that water might have been before.
5
Next time rain drops fall on you, think about
where that water might have been just a few days
ago.
6
Water is a powerful force on Earths surface
7
Water is critical to lifehow long can you
survive without it?
8
It is a precious resource we often take for
granted
9
It is sacred to some The Maya believed natural
wells, such as the Xkeken cenote in Mexico's
Yucatán, led to the underworld.
10
Water Is Unique
  • Cant live without
  • Takes long time to change temperature
  • Stays liquid over large range of temps.
  • Expands when freezes
  • Great at dissolving things
  • Commonly found as solid, liquid and gas

11
Section 1 Water Resources
  • GOALS
  • Describe the location of water on Earths
    surface.
  • How does the water cycle work?
  • Explain why freshwater is a limited resource.
  • TERMS surface water, river system, watershed,
    groundwater, aquifer, porosity, permeability,
    recharge zone, water cycle

12
Water Cycle
13
Water Cycle
  • The continual process by which water moves
    through living and nonliving parts of our world.
  • Solar Powered
  • Renewable Resource
  • Steps followed

14
Make up a story following a water molecule
through the water cycle
15
Where is water found?
  • 71 of earth is covered in water
  • 97 of that is in oceans
  • Most of the remaining 3 fresh, mainly in ice
    caps and glaciers.

16
Why is water a limited resource?
17
Surface Water
  • Fresh water on Earths land
  • Rivers
  • Lakes
  • Streams
  • Ponds
  • Critical for drinking, transportation, waste
    removal, industry, food, farming, recreation

Delaware River Where does all that water come
from???
18
  • Watershed an area of land that is drained by a
    single river
  • Bathtub analogy
  • How can a farmer in NY State Impact drinking
    water in Camden?
  • Who should set pollution laws LOCAL, SATE,
    FEDERAL?

U.S. How does a cattle farmer in Montana
potentially impact a shrimp fisherman in
Louisiana? RIVER SYSTEM
21
Worlds River Systems and Watershed
22
Groundwater
23
Groundwater
  • Water beneath Earths surface, located in rocks,
    sediment and soil

  • How does it get there?
  • How can we use it?

24

    flow through it
  • Sand and gravel are permeable
  • Clay and blacktop are impermeable

32
Permeable vs. Impermeable
33
Section 1 REVIEW
  • Describe the location of water on Earths
    surface.
  • How does the water cycle work?
  • Explain why freshwater is a limited resource.
  • TERMS surface water, river system, watershed,
    groundwater, aquifer, porosity, permeability,
    recharge zone, water cycle

34
Section 2 Water Use and Management
  • GOALS
  • Identify how water is used in home, industry and
    agriculture.
  • Explain how and why water is treated before
    coming to your home.

  • Aylito Binayo's feet know the mountain. Even at
    four in the morning she can run down the rocks to
    the river by starlight alone and climb the steep
    mountain back up to her village with 50 pounds of
    water on her back. She has made this journey
    three times a day for nearly all her 25 years. So
    has every other woman in her village of Foro, in
    the Konso district of southwestern Ethiopia.
    Binayo dropped out of school when she was eight
    years old, in part because she had to help her
    mother fetch water from the Toiro River. The
    water is dirty and unsafe to drink every year
    that the ongoing drought continues, the once
    mighty river grows more exhausted. But it is the
    only water Foro has ever had.

36
According to the U.N., 1 billion people do not
have access to clean, reliable fresh water
37
How Much Water Do You Use
Average person in U.S. uses about 80 gallons a day
38

2) Eutrophication
  • Too many nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) in
    the water causes algal blooms and decreased
    oxygen in water

  • Factories cooling equipment
  • Causes fish kills
  • Decreases oxygen in water

75
(No Transcript)
76
