Water reserves, water pollution, Causes and solutions

2. Water Reserves
75% of our planet is covered by water – in liquid, gaseous or frozen form.
 Around 97 % of the Earth’s water resources are salt water.
A significant proportion of fresh water reserves is trapped in the polar ice caps and glaciers and only 0.649% of all water resources can be used for drinking

3. Continued..
According to UNO estimates, the world’s population is set to increase from approximately 7.2 billion today to 9.6 billion by 2050.
Globally, more than one billion people have no access to clean drinking water. In 25 years up to 6 billion people will be experiencing water shortages because of poor hygiene.
Even Europe’s natural water resources are being put under ever-increasing stress.

7. Water Pollution
Water pollution occurs when harmful substances are released into the water in large quantities which cause damage to people, wildlife, or habitat or indirectly into water bodies without proper treatment to remove harmful compounds.

Some 90% of China's cities suffer from some degree of water pollution, and nearly 500 million people lack access to safe drinking water.

10. Causes of Water Pollution
Nuclear waste
Oil pollution
Underground storage leaks
Industrial pollution
Thermal pollution

11. Where do pollutants came from
Point sources: A single definable source of the Pollution, e.g. a factory, a sewage plant, etc. point-source pollution is usually monitored and regulated.
Non-point sources: Not a single source, but a wide range of sources, e.g. runoff from urban areas, or farmland. Non-point sources are much more difficult to monitor or regulate

12. EFFECTS ON ENVIRONMENT AND HUMANS
Toxic water
Thermal heating
Our sources of water
Diseases caused by:
Drinking contaminated water
Swimming in polluted water
Contact with chemically polluted water

13. WATER ENERGY
Power derived from the energy of falling water or fast running water, which may be harnessed for useful purposes.

14. WHAT IS WATERGY?
Term coined to define the nexus between water and energy.
The goal is to provide cost effective water services while reducing energy consumption and protecting the environment.

16. CHALLENGES:
Lack of awareness and technical skills to address inefficiencies in utility operations.
Lack of financial resources to implement efficiency interventions
Difficult to prioritize efficiency needs over service delivery extension.

17. Continued..
Decision making processes in local governments are often time consuming and difficult to navigate.
Most water infrastructure is located underground and leaks can do undetected
Management of Non Revenue Water (wasted water) and the implementation of a program to reduce water losses demands a long term approach which often conflicts with municipal budgeting timelines
