Three Major River Basins in the Middle East

Water Resources Chapter 14

Remember the Hydrologic or water cycle. Where does new water come from?

Freshwater Is an Irreplaceable Resource That We Are Managing Poorly (1) Why is water so important? Earth as a watery world: 71% Freshwater availability: 0.024% Poorly managed resource Hydrologic cycle Water pollution

Most surface freshwater is tied up in glaciers and icecaps

Girl Carrying Well Water over Dried Out Earth during a Severe Drought in India

We Get Freshwater from Groundwater and Surface Water (2) Surface Water ◦ Watershed or (drainage) basin THE LAND FROM WHICH SURFACE WATER DRAIN INTO A RIVER,LAKE OR WETLAND

Major NC river drainage basins

Fig. 13-3, p. 316 Unconfined Aquifer Recharge Area Precipitation Evaporation and transpiration Evaporation Confined Recharge Area Runoff Flowing artesian well Well requiring a pump Stream Infiltration Water table Lake Infiltration Unconfined aquifer Less permeable material such as clay Confined aquifer Confining impermeable rock layer

We Use a Large and Growing Portion of the World’s Reliable Runoff The largest use of surface water runoff is for????? 1/3 runoff usable ◦ Domestic: 10% ◦ Agriculture: 70% ◦ Industrial use: 20%

GROUND WATER AWARD WINNING PICTURE WITH INFILTRATION ◦ PERCOLATION ◦ WATER TABLE ◦ AQUIFER ◦ RECHARGE

Fig. 13-4a, p. 317

Fig. 13-4b, p. 317 Shortage Acute shortage Adequate supply Metropolitan regions with population greater than 1 million

Natural Capital Degradation: Stress on the World’s Major River Basins

Long-Term Severe Drought Is Increasing Causes ◦ Extended period of below-normal rainfall ◦ Diminished groundwater Harmful environmental effects ◦ Dries out soils ◦ Reduces stream flows ◦ Decreases tree growth and biomass ◦ Lowers net primary productivity and crop yields ◦ Shift in biomes

Disadvantages of growing corn to make ethanol  Decreasing water supplies caused by  Aquifer depletion caused by  Increase in pollution of streams and aquifers caused by  The price of corn for human and animal consumption is likely to ____________  Thus the price of a ribeye is likely to________________

Causative organisms of dysentery Normal route of infection is fecal--- oral

Test for E. Coli It is hard to test for all of the above organisms, why test for E coli? Escherichia coli

Boil, add chlorine or iodine

Water Tables Fall When Groundwater Is Withdrawn Faster Than It Is Replenished India, China, and the United States ◦ Three largest grain producers ◦ Overpumping aquifers for irrigation of crops India and China ◦ Small farmers drilling tubewells WHAT IS A TUBEWELL ◦ Effect on water table Saudi Arabia ◦ Aquifer depletion and irrigation

Fig. 13-7, p. 321 TRADE-OFFS Withdrawing Groundwater AdvantagesDisadvantages Useful for drinking and irrigation Aquifer depletion from overpumping Available year-round Sinking of land (subsidence) from overpumping Exists almost everywhere Aquifers polluted for decades or centuries Renewable if not overpumped or contaminated Saltwater intrusion into drinking water supplies near coastal areas No evaporation losses Reduced water flows into surface waters Cheaper to extract than most surface waters Increased cost and contamination from deeper wells

Land subsidence in farm field

Show ALL of your work and steps of calculations, even if they are so simple you think they are implied. Show ALL of your work and steps of calculations, even if they are so simple you think they are implied. NO WORK – NO CREDIT !

Practice. Be sure to know how to convert numbers to percentages and percent change. 1. Example: If 200 households in a town of use well water, what percent does this represent? 2. Example: The water rates for outside the town limits in Forest City is a minimum charge of $27.15 per month. After that it is $6.25 per 1000 gallons. What would be the total water bill for a house that used 5500 gallons during the month of July?

3. Name three factors we have studied this year that can cause subsidence. 4. This river empties into the Lake Mead and Lake Powell reservoirs. 5. Process whereby aquifers are replenished naturally by precipitation that percolates through soil and rock. 6. The land from which surface water drains into a river, lake or stream.

7. (2 points) Name of huge midwest aquifer AND the name spelled correctly is equal to two points

Fig , p. 323 WYOMING SOUTH DAKOTA NEBRASKA COLORADO KANSAS OKLAHOMA NEW MEXICO Miles TEXAS Saturated thickness of Ogallala Aquifer Less than 61 meters (200 ft.) 61–183 meters (200–600 ft.) More than 183 meters (600 ft.) (as much as 370 meters or 1,200 ft. in places) Kilometers

Case Study: Aquifer Depletion in the United States Ogallala aquifer: largest known aquifer ◦ Irrigates the Great Plains ◦ Water table lowered more than 30m ◦ Cost of high pumping has eliminated some of the farmers

Natural Capital Degradation: Areas of Greatest Aquifer Depletion in the U.S.

Groundwater Overpumping Has Other Harmful Effects (2) Salt water intrusion Groundwater overdrafts near coastal regions ◦ Contamination of the groundwater with saltwater  Undrinkable and unusable for irrigation

Some Areas Get Too Much Water from Flooding Flood plains ◦ Highly productive wetlands/ fish and other gme ◦ Provide natural flood and erosion control ◦ Maintain high water quality ◦ Recharge groundwater ◦ Fertile soils ◦ Nearby rivers for use and recreation ◦ Flatlands for urbanization and farming

Large Dams and Reservoirs Have Advantages and Disadvantages (1) Main goals of a dam and reservoir system supplies drinking water.  Downstream flooding is reduced  Generate cheap electricity  Supply irrigation water to dry areas  Recreation (reservoirs)

Large Dams and Reservoirs Have Disadvantages Disadvantages ◦ Displaces people (TVA) ◦ Flooded regions destroys forests and croplands ◦ Migration and spawning of fish is disrupted ◦ Structural failure of Dam ◦ Sediment builds up behind the dam and is not allowed to enrich the river below the dam

In theory: If you charge more or tax higher, consumption will decrease.

Flood irrigation

Drip irrigation in practice

Center pivot low pressure sprinkler. You need flat or gently rolling terrain for this type

WATER CONSERVATION List five (5) ways to reduce water loss due to faulty irrigation techniques. List eight (8) ways to reduce water waste in homes Floodplains are low areas that are prone to flooding. List (5) ways to prevent/control flood damage. Calculate how many liters AND gallons are wasted in one month(30days) by a toilet that leaks 2 drops per second. (1 liter of water = 3500 drops and 1 liter = gallons)

We Can Cut Water Waste in Irrigation Flood irrigation ◦ Wasteful Center pivot, low pressure sprinkler Low-energy, precision application sprinklers Drip or trickle irrigation, microirrigation ◦ Costly; less water waste

On a cold morning, the utilitization of electric heat is most likely to be higher. What fuel is, most likely, forms the basis of the process that generates that electricity?

Major Irrigation Systems

Fig , p. 335 Center pivot (efficiency 80% with low-pressure sprinkler and 90–95% with LEPA sprinkler) Drip irrigation (efficiency 90–95%) Water usually pumped from underground and sprayed from mobile boom with sprinklers. Gravity flow (efficiency 60% and 80% with surge valves) Above- or below-ground pipes or tubes deliver water to individual plant roots. Water usually comes from an aqueduct system or a nearby river.

Solutions: Reducing Irrigation Water Waste

Developing Countries Use Low- Tech Methods for Irrigation Human-powered treadle pumps Harvest and store rainwater Create a canopy over crops: reduces evaporation Fog-catcher nets

We Can Cut Water Waste in Industry and Homes Recycle water in industry Fix leaks in the plumbing systems Use water-thrifty landscaping: xeriscaping Use gray water Pay-as-you-go water use

Solutions: Reducing Water Waste

We Can Use Less Water to Remove Wastes Can we mimic how nature deals with waste? Waterless composting toilets

Fig , p. 337 SOLUTIONS Sustainable Water Use Waste less water and subsidize water conservation Preserve water quality Protect forests, wetlands, mountain glaciers, watersheds, and other natural systems that store and release water Get agreements among regions and countries sharing surface water resources Raise water prices Do not deplete aquifers Slow population growth
