4 Think About It… We have the luxury of turning on the faucet and water comes out. Does everyone? This is what we call water availability…

5 Water Availability: The access to, or availability of water for use per person in a particular area

6 Tribal Challenge Water Relay 6 Tribes – Each Tribe has 1 Dixie cup and 1 beaker. (except Tribe 5 – they have 2 beakers and 2 Dixie cups) The goal of each tribe is to get as much water in their beaker as possible in 5 minutes…however, your water sources are not equally available

7 Tribal Challenge Water Amounts Tribe 1 = Tribe 2 = Tribe 3 = Tribe 4 = Tribe 5 = Tribe 6 = Does every tribe have an equal amount of water? How is this representative of different continents of the world and their water use?

8 Tribal Challenge Water Continent Comparisons Tribe 1 = North America Tribe 2 = Europe Tribe 3 = Asia Tribe 4 = South America Tribe 5 = Australia Tribe 6 = Africa What are some other factors that need to be considered? What are they using the water for?

9 Tribal Challenge Quick Write & Discussion What does this show you about the global challenges of water availability? What aspects of your life would suffer because your time would be consumed with getting water?

10 Water Sustainability Do we have enough water for everybody??? That is what water sustainability means…

11 Water Sustainability: Water Sustainability The use of water that ensures that water will be a protected and available resource for future generations

12 In Fact… 1.1 billion people do not have access to improved sources of drinking water, they must carry water for several miles, and even then it may not be safe.
