Water Management
Water is essential to all life on earth. Without it, the planet would become lifeless. Our planet consists of about 3% freshwater and 97% saltwater. Of that freshwater component, the majority is locked up in icecaps and glaciers, with 22% left as groundwater and 1% in freshwater lakes, rivers and streams. With precious little fresh water and its importance to human life and the economy, understanding water management is critical.
This A-Level Water Managment module will enable students to:
- Identify areas of water surplus and water deficit
- Explain the reasons for increasing water consumption
- Enumerate factors affecting water availability
- Expound on the different impacts of water insecurity
- Suggest several strategies to increase water supply
- Explain how the UK manages its water sustainably
- Identify the changes in water supply and demand over the past 50 years, and the three main users of water
- Explain why there are water supply problems in the UK and in the developing world
- Enumerate the different actors in making decisions affecting water
