Water Facts: WATER QUALITY THE AIMS OF THIS ACTIVITY WAS TO CREATE AWARENESS AMONG THE STUDENTS REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER AS AN ESSENTIAL RESOURCE FOR A GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE AND TO REALISE HOW EASY IT IS TO JEOPARDISE THE WATER QUALITY BOTH THROUGH NATURAL PROCESSES AND ANTHROPIC INTERVENSION. THE FOLLOWING LINK TO A CLIP RELATED TO GLOBAL WATER FACTS WAS USED TO DRAW THE STUDENTS ATTENTION THAT WATER IS NOT EASILY AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE THE FOLLOWING SLIDES, WITH THE HELP OF PICTURES SELECTED FROM THE INTERNET, REFER TO VARIOUS IMAGES AND CASE STUDIES THAT HELP THE AUDIENCE QUESTION THE USE AND ABUSE OF WATER RESOURCES

THE ICE-BUCKET CHALLENGE

THE ICE-BUCKET CHALLENGE, IS THIS POSSIBLE EVERYWHERE? Not everyone has this luxury!

The Aral Sea

The shrinking Aral Sea due to mismanagement related to agricultural practices

Red Sludge of Toxic Material -Hungary 2010 Rivers are transnational resources

Water sprinklers in the Sahara Desert; a sustainable pratice?

Water; an essential resource but also a destuctive force

Acqua alta in Venice, Flash Floods in Genoa and the rising Arno River in Florence; a recall of the destructive floods that ruined artistic masterpieces

EACH GROUP INCLUDED STUDENTS FROM EVERY PARTICIPATING COUNTRY: ITALY, HUNGARY, FRANCE AND MALTA STUDENTS HAD TO DISCUSS AND RANK BY ORDER OF PREFERENCE WHICH IMAGE IMPRESSED THEM MOST. FOLLOWING THE GROUP WORK, THE STUDENTS SHARED AND EXPLAINED THEIR CHOICE TO THE REST OF THE GROUPS

THE BAR-GRAPH INDICATES THAT THE STUDENTS WERE STUCK BY: THE ABSURDITY OF THE ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE THE SHRINKING OF THE ARAL SEA THE DISASTER OF THE TOXIC SLUDGE IN HUNGARY SUBSIDENCE OF MEXICO CITY DUE TO GROUNDWATER EXTRACTION THE MISMANAGEMENT OF WATER IN THE DESERT

Ice bucket challenge: Waste of water! Worthless! Attention seekers Did for popularity rather than charity! Red Toxic Sludge A great impact on agriculture! Waste mismangament!! Aral Sea Water Mismanagement because of agriculture! Loss of job opportunities! Increase in desertification!
