Hydrologic Cycle
Water Quality and It’s
Consequences
What is water ?Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world's streams, lakes, oceans and rain, and is the major constituent of the fluids of living things.
It’s :- Formula: H2O
Melting point: 0 °C Boiling point: 100 °C Molar mass: 18.01528 g/mol
Drinking Water• Access to drinking water means that the source is less than 1
km away from its place of use and that it is possible to reliably obtain at least 20 litres per member of a household per day.
• Each person needs 20-50 liters of safe freshwater a day for drinking, cooking and cleaning. More than one in six people worldwide - 894
million - don't have access to this amount of safe freshwater.
Hydrologic Cycle The hydrologic cycle describes the continuous movement of
water: Evaporation to the atmosphere Precipitation to the land Infiltration to groundwater Discharge to surface water
Changes in climate can alter the hydrologic cycle Temperature affects water vapor which affects precipitation
Water Levels: Great Lakes Average Great Lakes levels depends on the balance between
precipitation and evaporation
Why is water so important?• Essential for the prevention of disease, especially in
developing nationso Improve Sanitation
• To remain HEALTHY • Basic needs

Diseases Related to Water
Water-borne Diseases Diseases caused by ingestion of water contaminated by human
or animal excrement, which contain pathogenic microorganisms
Include cholera, typhoid, amoebic and bacillary dysentery and other diarrheal diseases
In addition, water-borne disease can be caused by the pollution of water with chemicals that have an adverse effect on health
Water-washed Diseases
Diseases caused by poor personal hygiene and skin and eye contact with contaminated water
These include scabies, trachoma, typhus, and other flea, lice and tick-borne diseases.
Water-based Diseases
Diseases caused by insect vectors, parasites found in intermediate organisms living in contaminated water
Includes Schistosomiasis , Dracunculiasis, dengue, filariasis, malaria, onchocerciasis, trypanosomiasis and yellow fever
The FutureEven if by the year 2015 the proportion of people who are
unable to reach or to afford safe drinking water is halved, between 34 and 76 million people, mostly children, will die from preventable water-borne diseases
By 2025, 800 million people will experience absolute water scarcity, andtwo-thirds of the world population couldbe under stress conditions.
1.1 billion people have no access to any type of improved drinking source of water.
Water Conservation Tips
Let your parents know about leaks in your house Turn off the faucet when brushing or shaving Take shorter showers Bring or use a reusable water bottle like a Nalgene instead of the
drinking fountain
Some Questions About Water, Health, and Justice
Over 5 million people, mostly children, die annually due to preventable
water-borne diseases.
WHY?
Conclusion we can conclude that healthy water contains important
role in a life of living being whether animals, humans or plants.
To remain healthy we need healthy water because without water we cant live, it is essential for living.
It is our duty to keep water clean and stop wasting precious thing.
I hope you it.
