Our life is the water

Our Life is the WATER

The resources of water • From the Earth’s water,only 3% in is freshwater, all the rest is saline

(saltwater from the oceans).Let’s look at that 3%! 68.7% of freshwater are icecaps and glaciers, 30.1% is ground water,0.9% are other waters, and only 0.3% of freshwater is surface water

(that meens: 87%:lakes, 11%:swamps, and 2% are rivers).

The exploitation of water

• In our world we use water in many ways.We use it to flush our toilets, to cook, to take a bath or have a shower, to wash our clothes etc…

• Besides our homes we use water in factories, for sports, for drinking, and many other ways and different places.

• Water is the most important thing on the world, besides oxigen.In the future water is going to more important when the world runs out of oil stocks.Even the cars are going to run with water.

Abstraction• Abstractions for different uses exert the

most significant pressure on the quantity of freshwater resources.

• The total water abstraction in Europe is about 353 km3;/year, which means that 10% of Europe's total freshwater resources is abstracted!

The water usage on the world

The importance of water in agriculture

• We can split agriculture into two main sections: plant and animal breeding.

• As we know the water has a very important function in both, so important, that if there would be no water, agriculture wouldn’t even exist…

Animals• We know that the animals need water

just as us, humans.• Without water, all of the animals would

die in a few days on weeks. So to give the animals freshwater to drink is crucially if we would like to consume animal products.

Plants• Lets look at the plants.Besides the light,

plants need good water and even better dirt.The ”good” dirt changes in the races of plants, but the base of the good quality of dirt depends on the water precentage.

• Without water, the plants wouldn’t exist either, so water is the most important in agriculture.

The importance of water in fishing

• Fish are an important resource for humans worldwide, especially as food.

• I think fishing would be pretty hard without water.

• The animals which live in water, water is like air for us.What would we do without air?Nothing!

• In the future water is going to more important when the world runs out of oil stocks.Even the cars are going to run with water.

• Right now the people just use to much water, they don’t look ahead in the future, and they don’t respect water because it’s cheap.

• Human body is 66% water• A living tree is about 75% water• Almost 80% of the earth’s surface is

covered with water • Water consists of 1 atom of oxygen

combined with 2 atoms of hydrogen(H2O).
