Anshika needed for water and food scarcity

We know that earth is known as Blue Planet but

• 97.5 % of total water exists as

saline water in oceans• 1.75% of total water exists as

glaciers.• Only 0.007% of total water is

available for drinking .

AVAILABILITY OF WATER

Water Scarcity

FACTORS LEADING TO WATER SCARCITY

CLIMATE

•RISE IN TEMPERATURE

•SCANTY RAINFALL

POPULATION INCREASE

URBANIZATION

QUALITY OF WATER

Present and Future trend of

Water Scarcity

Why water should be conserved

• More than 1 in 6 don't have access to safe drinking water. .

• 1 out of every 4 deaths under the age of 5 is due to a water disease

EFFECTS in FutureIn near future there is a possibility that• Our life span may reduce to 40 years.• Women may have to shave their

heads to keep it clean without water.• Water would be protected by heavy

armies• People may sell off their clothes after

wearing it one or twice.

Possible measures Canal Lining Improved dam management Scientific Water management Awareness Campaigns Water Pricing control Adopt micro-irrigation Reduce return flow

FOOD SCARCITY

• Inadequate precipitation

• Degradation of soil• Global Warming

Factors causingfood scarcity

Non-physicalPhysical

• Rise in Population• Poverty• Economic Crisis• Inaccessibility of

food

PRESENT AND FUTURE TREND OF FOOD SCARCITY

EFFECTS OF FOOD SCARCITY

Malnutrition Weight loss Malabsorbtion leads altered metabolism

Genetic disorders Physical deformities

POSSIBLE MEASURES FOR ELIMINATION OF FOOD SCARCITY Nuclear Science to

improve productivity Genetically modified seeds Organic farming Sustainable farming

Methods

We think after this we won’t take things for granted

and will SAVE WATER and FOOD.
