Water Shortage And Energy Crisis Essays

In the worst kind of energy crisis energy rationing and fuel rationing may be incurred.While many sustainable development and energy policy organisations have advocated reforms to energy development from the 1970s, some cater to a specific crisis in energy supply including Energy-Quest and the International Association for Energy Economics.When energy markets fail, an energy shortage develops.Government funding for alternative energy is more likely to increase during an energy crisis, so too are incentives for oil exploration.[11] The US Department of Energy in the Hirsch report indicates that “The problems associated with world oil production peaking will not be temporary, and past ‘energy crisis’ experience will provide relatively litt...

This has led to increasing interest in alternate power/fuel research such as fuel cell technology, liquid nitrogen economy, hydrogen fuel, methanol, biodiesel, Karrick process, solar energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy, wave power, and wind energy, and fusion power.Meanwhile renewable energy source are the source of energy that always be available with a huge amount and almost limitless, this energy source is either too many or very quickly to regenerate, for example: solar energy, wind, hydro, and biomass.The general Definition is an energy sources that can be used to replace un-renewable energy that are renewable but sometimes with side effect, sometimes alternative energy that won’t create side effect are called Green energy.So if...

Moreover, this water crisis incident happens because Malaysian citizen does not know how to appreciate the value of water supply.In this case, the Malaysian government increases the budget to help to resolve the water shortage problem in Selangor; Malaysian government has also delay a project to save the water supply and Malaysian government has also cut down the water supply of the neighborhoods every couple of days.According to (themalaymailonline.com, 2014) “The rationing will see millions of consumers in the state receive two days of water supply followed by two days of dry taps to enable water to be conserved in the dams over the next two months.” .The shortage of water will cause health problems such as diarrheal diseases.In this c...

The general Definition is an energy sources that can be used to replace un-renewable energy that are renewable but sometimes with side effect, sometimes alternative energy that won’t create side effect are called Green energy.This has led to increasing interest in alternate power/fuel research such as fuel cell technology, liquid nitrogen economy, hydrogen fuel, methanol, biodiesel, Karrick process, solar energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy, wave power, and wind energy, and fusion power.Some of the country doing some regulation to save the energy like regular blackout, use mass amount of solar panel, using recycled items, and use of wind energy (like in Dutch) .. From the text above we can conclude that humans need to search for ano...

.. An energy crisis is any great shortfall (or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy... Water flowing in the rivers has kinetic energy.In order to tackle the existing crisis and ensure a prosperous energy future, the backbone of the future energy policies would have to be reliance on domestic resources (hydropower, coal and solar and wind energy) and energy conservation.Pakistan is facing power shortage, natural crisis and oil crisis.The costly machinery amounted US $9 million is now functionless due to (rust) delay in the construction of Kala Bagh Dam, Some scientists predicted that in next 10year world has to face the water shortage also.

Another trigger to the electricity crises was the dry December in 2007 that resulted in the decrease of water levels in the dams of Pakistan.That had affected the electricity production as water is the source of hydroelectric power.Now by our research we can conclude that some basic initial investment and requirement of Pakistan is to build small dams which should have reservoir capacity of 1000 cm3 to 50000 cm3 of water.These investments would not only help generate electricity and decrease the energy crisis of Pakistan but will also help in increasing the employment rate of Pakistan.These problems clearly indicate that use of water for the generation of electricity is thousand times better than wastage of water on land or in see is not...

India is the wettest place in the world which receives an annual rainfall of about 15,000 mm and yet the village often faces drinking water shortage because of widespread deforestation resulting in drying up of water sources soon after raining season is over.(MDG Assessment Report 2008) p. 25^ Updated Numbers: WHO-UNICEF JMP Report 2008^ Water is Life – Groundwater drawdown^ WaterPartners International: Learn about the Water Crisis^ All About: Water and Health, CNN, December 18, 2007^ Water, a shared responsibility.The United Nations World Water Development Report 2, 2006^ “Public Services”, Gapminder video^ Fredrik Segerfeldt (2005), “Private Water Saves Lives”, Financial Times 25 August^ David Zetland, “Running Out of Water”^ David Zet...

In conclusion, “New Water” is alternate solution, which can change water pollution and shortage into a profitable opportunity.It provides a reliable and sufficient supply of water to the growing communities, which reduces the crisis of water shortage.Apart from the problem of water pollution and water shortage, water crisis itself can also be an opportunity, if we look at it from another perspective.The water crisis is branched out as two sections, namely water shortage and water pollution.They obtain fresh water by changing sea water into drinking water.

Humans are being affected by the hazardous and toxins pollutants that are found in the water and cause water pollution in the country.Domestic, as well as, industrial wastes are contained in this water, and by which waterborne diseases are increased and contributed by this careless use of the water.The World Bank has forecasted that China would have to confront millions of environmental refugees by 2020 due to the increasing stress and shortage of the water.China needs to control the shortage of water and minimize the pollution in water is to continue its social and economic development.In some areas, the quality of water has also been deteriorated due to the water pollution according to the Chinese experts, and leading environmental act...

Moreover the possibility is that Pakistan will not be able to develop its other indigenous energy sources such as hydel power and coal by 2025/26 under current policies, and the energy import requirements of the country may grow from the present 30% to over 75% of the energy mix by 2025/26 costing over $ 50 billion per annum in foreign exchange.And then naturally the blame game started, starting from the water shortage in Dams to furnace oil transportation problem, violence in Sind and maintenance activity in some independent power producers.In many countries, people on voluntary basis adopted easy ways to save energy and achieved up to 20 percent savings in energy.The issue of energy shortage is not going to go away in a short span of t...

Tidal energy is a form of hydropower that exploits the movement of water caused by tidal currents or the rise and fall in sea levels due to tides and is a good medium-term solution for energy crisis in Pakistan.Solar energy is not too expensive and its best use, for now, is in domestic applications such as water heating and for UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) systems.So the government should have to upgrade the hydro power projects already working in the country so that we can meet the shortage of electricity as soon as possible.With this investment, and also adding up the efforts made by Wapda (Water and Power Development Authority) and the other IPPs (independent power producers), I think this will finally resolve the problems of Paki...

Mary H Cooper, Water Shortages: Is There Enough Fresh Water for Everyone?To address the issue of water shortages the city has focused on implementing measures that will reduce water use for the growing population.Researches have been analyzing the possibility of utilizing alternative water supplies such as Aquifers for meeting the growing water demands.In Bloomington, the main regional water conservation body is campaigning for addressing both quality and quantity water issues for Bloomington’s rapidly growing population.The battle over water resources at the Southern states has created awareness among all the US states and the politicians and policy makers have geared their efforts towards addressing the threat of water shortages.

Environmental problems such as global warming or acid rain are changing the land and water for food production, making some of them not suitable to produce food.A series of problems following food supply shortage like the competition of land, water and energy are also existed.A larger population means people need more space to live and more water to drink, then ecosystem is disturbed by human beings in order to survive.To conclude, the global food supply shortage problem is an urgent problem in front of all human beings and not easy to be solved.“Eco-agriculture”, which is sustainable and less dependent on heavy use of energy, water, nutrients and other increasingly scarce industrial inputs, is strongly supported and recommanded by many ...

Solutions to cover-up Energy Crisis: .Several localities suffer from an acute shortage of water as tube-wells cannot be operated owing to power outages.Pakistan can easily utilize the solar energy although in some areas of Pakistan this kind of energy is becoming common, but still there are a lot of things to be done in the real world, in the major cities of Pakistan.Although government has conducted many conferences before this to control the shortage of energy and all of them remained useless and this time, government authorities have also made a use less conclusion of this conference.In this conference, the government authorities just use to talk about the methods to control the energy crisis in country and the masses have dejected o...

As long as a sufficient temperature difference (about 40 degrees Fahrenheit) exists between the warm upper layer of water and the cold deep water, net power can be generated.The RO water is used for industrial uses such as boiler feed water for producing high-grade steam, cooling tower water, and process water for refineries.Considering the geographic location of the island of Oahu and the amount of salt water that surrounds it, desalination seems like an obvious choice for solving part of the water shortage problems.(Figure 1.1) Technology     Cost     Production     Cost gallon per day Recycling     $48.1 million     10 mgd R-12 mgd RO12 mgd total     $4.00 Desalination     $40 million     5 mgd     $8.00 OTEC     $40 million     7.5 m...

Nuclear power was the centerpiece of an energy policy geared to ensuring a stable energy supply and minimizing Japan’s vulnerability to policy changes in the oil-producing nations.The new approach to meeting energy needs will also involve investing $500 billion over 20 years to commercialize the use of renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar power.On September 19, 2012, the Japanese cabinet approved a new energy policy built around the Energy and Environment Council’s Innovative Strategy of Energy and Environment.The former prime minister Naoto Kan “declare the need for Japan to end its reliance on atomic power and promote renewable sources of energy such solar that have long taken a back seat in the resource-poor country’s...

As a result the country started suffering from the shortage of an important energy resource.An energy crisis can be defined as any great bottleneck (or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy.It has many forms like natural gas, hydra energy, power energy, water and thermal etc.Following are some steps and solutions to this energy crisis: All the departments of the Government regarding energy and electricity production should be restructured and only highly trained and experienced professionals should be made part of those departments.Currently Pakistan is facing worst energy crisis in all sectors like electricity, water for agricultural needs, natural gas etc.

Dams can also be used to collect water or can be used in order to store water, in order to equally distribute between different areas.To overcome the current energy crisis of Pakistan, there should be an attempt to strictly supervise the production of energy that is present from the existing plants and these should produce at their best capacity.River Indus would also be polluted and the existing problem of water shortage would just be increased by the Kalabagh project.Another problem is that, in the Indus basin there is high levels of water logging and salinity, and if the irrigation supplied are to be increased it will just add more to the water logging and salinity to an alarming level in the Indus basin which could be very dangerous....

Propelled by GDP growth needs, demand for energy has been growing globally, and as cost of energy derived from fossil fuels has increased two-fold during the last three years, the demand of wind power equipment has also grown manifold.The costly machinery amounted US $9 million is now functionless due to (rust) delay in the construction of Kala Bagh Dam, Some scientists predicted that in next 10year world has to face the water shortage also.Pakistan is facing power shortage, natural crisis and oil crisis.It is therefore imperative that Pakistan finds workable remedies to the looming energy crises and remedies are found with practical solutions to facing up to the problems arising out of growing population and the growing energy needs to ...

Proper management of water supply should be ensured to avoid spillage and contamination, which may infect people with water borne diseases.Furthermore, efforts should be made to find alternative sources of water like ground water, rainwater, among others (Resnick 1).Other causes of water shortage include pollution of rivers and lakes, deforestation and poor planning on water conservation methods, among others.Moreover, water agencies in poor countries are facing an uphill task in supplying clean water for consumption due to increased desertification, corruption, poor planning and increasing pollution (Resnick 1).Even developed countries in deserts have water because they invest in water conservation and treatment.

Water scarcity has become a greater concern at present as people were facing shortage of water.It is expected in future that a large number of countries facing water shortage due to exceeding demand of water.(Hinrichsen & Tacio, 2001) In the coming years, population of world grows rapidly and the per capita consumption of water in coming years shrinks the world’s water resources, as a result the demand for water exceeds more than reserves to provide it.The overall condition of fresh water supply gives a clear indication that in the near future the fresh water supply will not only will be reduced but it will also become costly and the consequences will be very harsh and brutal for poor people who are already deprived off clean water s...

While, for production energy from wind, the wind turbine is used, this converts the kinetic energy into mechanical and electrical energy.Basically, the scientists have divided the energy resources into two categories, the Renewable energy resources and Non Renewable Resources.Shortage of energy in Pakistan.Unfortunately, In Pakistan, this flow of fresh water causes huge flood.These glaciers are the reserves of fresh water.

Guwahati: Acute power shortage has crippled the functioning of normal life throughout Assam since last couple of days.The power generating stations in the state have also been affected due to the shortage of gas supply for thermal power stations and less availability of water for the hydel power stations, sources said.Assam needs 1100 MW of power during the peak hours and there is a sever shortage as only about 700 MW is available these days.The reduction in generation is due to short supply of gas to thermal power plants and less availability of water in hydropower plants.Two transmission towers in neighbouring West Bengal were damaged by a devastating storm, which has also led to the shortage.

The Arab Water Academy (AWA) had been a key initiator in Abu Dhabi which was established with the target of addressing the problem of water scarcity in the UAE and neighboring countries of the region.The rapid population growth of the country increases the stress on the water resources by increasing the production of desalinated water which results costly and decreases the production of ground water.Al Mubarak: The Issue of Water Scarcity and Water Security is Only Getting More Urgent.Steps have also been taken by the national water resource management to improve and develop the implementation of the water management policies.Oil Rich But Water Scarce UAE in Grave Danger of Losing It’s Water Resources in Just 50 Years.

Apart from affecting the soil and its inhabitants, the method of extraction causes disturbances in the water systems, which my lead to diversion of the water ways making a particular region to experience unexpected dryness water scarcity while other part enjoys plenty of water availability.Island Press Ministry of Water, Energy and Mining, (1988): Lesotho Energy Master Plan: GTZ and Department of Energy World Bank, (1989) Sub-Saharan Africa – From Crisis to Sustainable Growth: The World Bank.Windmill energy production is thus a rapidly growing energy sources, this is thriving well in places where wind is freely blowing such as the ones experienced in the Belina.The products have been a means of saving the countries from the energy crisis...

Energy crisis is a term which be traced to the time of California electricity crisis and the 1973 oil crisis.These alternative sources energy will supply use with clean energy that is friendly to the environment.It has come a time when we stop cheap politics about energy issue and look critically at what is happening around us coming with solutions to the crisis we are facing.Although it has remained a controversial issue, we can all agree to President Bush statement that our country is facing an energy crisis.The cause and effect of energy crisis can be traced to energy system in the world.

South Korea is also dealing with several environmental issues including: air pollution, acid rain, water pollution from the discharge of sewage and industrial effluents.The inflow of foreign capital was greatly encouraged to supplement the shortage of domestic savings.Target sectors for the Korean Government to achieve this aim are wind energy, photovoltaic and hydrogen & fuel cell.However, Korea has a lack of technology to address membrane filtration, water reuse and recycling.The size of the Korean water industry in 2010 is expected to be £6,290 million.

(Not per capita however) The increase in China’s emissions is primarily due to the country’s reliance on coal, which accounts for over two-thirds of its energy consumption, contributing to sulfur dioxide emissions causing acid rain.s part of its effort to harness the nation’s water supply, China has a large dam-building program with over twenty-five thousand dams nationwide–more than any other nation.The Worldwatch Institute, an environmental watchdog and research organization, reports that excessive farm cultivation, particularly overgrazing, is one of the leading causes of desertification.As China’s economic growth continues to blossom in 2007, with the countries GDP hitting 11.4%, alongside China gets hit by an environmental crisis.* ...

.. Large areas of croplands are lost year after year, due mainly to soil erosion, water depletion and urbanization... Will result in shortage, and government will need to intervene to allocate basing on; .Upland rice varieties, although adapted to a lower moisture requirement, are also affected by intermittent rains because farmers have no means of storing water in their fields.On the other hand, Professor Herman Daly suggests that it is not actually an economic crisis, but rather a crisis of overgrowth beyond sustainable ecological limits.In a market more concerned about the supply of crude oil in the coming years than any immediate shortage of refined fuels, news of another 500,000 bpd of refining capacity starting up in China from l...

Most of the other global problems are created from overpopulation, such as violence, war, global warming, and pollution.The solution would be that people stopped concerning about material stuff such as oil, and power, and learn that this world is everyone’s.It is the greatest global crisis facing humanity in the twenty-first century.As it rains, it eats away on things they settle on and contaminates lakes, drinkable water, which affect plants and animals.A child born today in the United States for instance will produce fifty-two tons of garbage and consume 11 million gallons of water by the age of seventy-five.
