The Indian government has recently proposed a multibillion rupee project of unification of all the rivers to address the water problem of all the states.“India’s water crisis is predominantly a manmade problem.A soaring population, the warp-speed sprawl of cities, and a vast and thirsty farm belt have all put new strains on a feeble, ill-kept public water and sanitation network.” (SENGUPTA) Some of the Indian states have lot of water resources while the others lack it.Unlike many other countries, India’s water problem is not related to scarcity of water resources, but it is related to the mismanagement of the available water resources.Climate change is only expected to exacerbate the problems, heightening India’s vulnerability to extrem...

And where there isn't enough water there are other problems to contend with.Many problems can arise from overpopulation on large water bodies.Allocation, desalinization, and transportation of fresh water can be costly as well.Water can be lost through evaporation while rerouting waterways.There are also political problems connected to the distribution of fresh water Uneven distribution of fresh water directly affects the distribution of the global population.

The majority of water pollution occurs when people overload the water environment with wastes.Also there are many other humans that have allergies to these chemicals, and can cause health problems if enough of the contaminated water is digested.The major water pollutants are chemical, biological, and physical materials that lessen the water quality.So as you can see, water pollution is a very serious problem it is responsible for dramatic decreases of fish and wildlife populations in our, rivers, lakes, and oceans.The oxygen levels in the water may drop so low that fish and other oxygen-dependent animals in the water suffocate, and die, this happens mostly in the Midwest and other such places where there are vast amounts of farm land.

In filtration, the water is allowed to pass through filters to separate the contaminating solids from the water.Agriculture is also overusing and polluting the ground water thus depleting the natural source of water.The excessive nutrient removal is the most viral step in the last stages of the water treatment before the water is released to the environment.This polluted and untreated water is causing abundant water borne diseases.Although 2/3rd of the earth’s crust is made up of water but all this water is not available for drinking and for other human activities as either it is locked in the form of ice or present in the form of vast saline oceans and seas.

Africa is fundamentally a semi-arid and water scarce country in which only receives nine percent of its water being converted to runoff.Background of the Research: A. Africa is fundamentally a semi-arid and water scarce country in which only receives nine percent of its water being converted to runoff.The rate of exposure is extremely high because the water is not only contaminated at the water basins and pumps where water is collected but the containers are almost always second-hand objects, often previously used for certain oils and fertilizers or wastes.An even closer look at water scarcity nationwide involving how different countries could possibly reveal the extent in which water scarcity is.A.

Water wastage through simple measures, such as letting water run when not in use or using excess water to perform various household functions, is very effective in conserving the water resource if done in large scale.There are many ways in which water is wasted and these include letting water run within households when it is not in use, lack of water recycling and lack of water harvesting among other means.Since water infrastructure and resource has generally remained constant over the years, population growth rate strains the water resource and creates a shortage in drinking water for populations across the world.Harvesting of water is a form of water conservation and it ensures that there is minimal water wastage.Poor harvesting of wat...

The primary cause of this warming water trend and cold water fishery decline is by carbon dioxide.Millions of liters of water are needed every day worldwide for washing, irrigating crops, and cooling industrial processes, not to mention leisure industries such as swimming pools and water sports centers.(Internet Source) Despite our dependence on water, we use it as dumping ground for all sorts of waste, and do very little to protect the water supplies we have.It was never though of as a problem back in the day, because nothing was actually added to the water.Water is probably the most important that we need to live.

In a bid to solve this problem, Uitto and Jansky proposes that the public be incorporated in the process of efficient management of water sources (2005).In addition, it has been sugested by some scholarly material that the implentation of “the water conservation campaign awareness” is a great step in finding a lasting solution (Birkenholtz, 2009).However supply of clean water in India remains to be insufficient despite the measures that have been taken by major institutions in India in curbing the problem.On the same note, Omdvet in his book “Reinventing Revolution: New Social Movements and the Socialist Tradition in India “ gives the importance of preserving water catchment areas such as the Himalayas Mountains which plays a pivotal rol...

The runoff is managed in a way that the rain water is returned back to the water environment as close as possible to the source.One pipe carries the sewer water straight to the waste water treatment and the other pipe carries the surface water directly to the river.If for some reason the connection of these pipes are connected wrongly as it is possible to do, it will cause the sewage water to be untreated and pass through the system into the rivers which would cause a lot of problems to the environment such as pollution, unpleasant smell and it would create conditions where plants and fish would be unable to survive.SuDs with in the UK play a huge role in improving drainage system and the environment as it provides a solution to excess r...

People might not regard recycled water as clean water.Therefore, there are many aspects of water problems, which need to be discussed in many ways.Although we have thought about the sustainability of the water for a long time, it remains many arguments to preserve the water between nations, private sectors, and civilians.When we discuss this sort of question, the solution might be placing a tax on particular season or cut out the usage of water consumption individually.This trend is now one of the biggest issues because the consumption of water has increased.

Here (Africa), unless the water scarcity problem is addressed, the level of water supply is projected to fall below 1000 cubic meters per person per year in at least eleven countries by the year 2025 (Issar 2006).Usually, ground water sources have low traces of tritium and are more aged than underground water sources (Gonfiantini 2000).Before venturing into the use of technological tools, which can be used to exploit water resources in the dry lands, it would be even more useful for man to seek ways of increasing the abundance of natural sources of water (UNDP 2009).The exploitation of underground water in desert areas is among the important directions that can be taken in the regions that I have mentioned so as to increase water sources...
