Short Term Problems Long Term Problems Solutions Task; 1.Working by your self come up with as many answers to fill out the table. 2.Working on your table add in as many different ideas as possible. Extension; Can you think of any other categories which information could be sorted into.

8 What problems were caused by the water shortages? Short Term Problems Long Term Problems Solutions - People are not able to use a much water as they want. - Authorities have to enforce bans (swimming pool, water fountains etc.) - Dehydration and heat will lead to elderly and young being affected. In extreme cases death. - Public services and transport will be negatively impacted. Water table is dramatically reduced. Lakes and rivers will take a long time to get back to normal levels. Economy of country will be negatively affected. Roads and transport structures will be damaged. Large amounts of money need to spent to remedy the problems. 1) Water was brought in by tankers. This was called a water bridge 2) Water use restricted in public places 3) 10% of public fountains turned off. 4) Fines for people who broke rules (30 Euros for gardens, 3,000 Euros for swimming pools.) 5) Desalination plants used 6) Use water from other countries. Task; Make sure that all of your tables have all of these different ideas added in. Extension; Choose 3 colours and highlight the Social, economic and environmental impacts of the droughts in Spain.
