This is Water!! Also this title is funny and you should laugh….

Welcome to Urban Ecology If you are new….if you aren’t happy Monday The purpose of this class is to teach about the ecology of the city you live in! Science is all around you Get used to it!

What things will look like moving forward This is for everyone! Our goal will continue to be two units a quarter…that’s about 10 – 12 lessons on each topic. We will still be using our observation books, but in a slightly different way…and we will review their use with the new set up this week Each Unit will end with a presentation of what you learned and the solution you and your group brainstormed

This unit!! Water Why we should care and why it matters

The Reality of Water The Midwest and Water: We are Lucky! 1/5 th of the Freshwater available on this planet exists here in the Great Lakes Basin Most parts of the world do not have the same access to freshwater that we do

Water Realities Now prohibited in California 1. Overwatering lawns to the point of creating runoff 2. Washing a car with a garden hose not fitted with a shutoff nozzle 3. Hosing down driveways and sidewalks 4. Using drinking water for ornamental fountains that don’t recirculate An infraction can carry a $500 fine per day of violation.

Water Realities Even here in the U.S. we have water shortages California Georgia Nebraska (Many of the Plains States) Texas The Great Lakes Basin States in recognition of this formed the Great Lakes Compact. The agreements also ban Great Lakes water from being "diverted," or piped out of the basin with a few limited and strictly regulated exceptions

Water is Gold Read the Article you picked up at the door – This is a TRUE story While you read think about how much water you use each day… when you are done, take a few minutes to think about all the ways we use water and write those down on the bottom of this reading.

Water is Gold Discussion 1. What are the ways we use water everyday? 2. How different would your life be if you had to think about where your water came from? 3. What are some ways you can think of that you could reduce your own “Water Waste”?
