How do people use Natural Resources?

WATER RESOURCE:

Water as a resource!Water as a resource!Fresh water is a renewable resource.Water resource is sources of water that are useful or potentially useful. Uses of water include agricultural, industrial, household, recreational and environmental activities.

97% of the water on the Earth is salt water. Only three percent is fresh water; and two thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. The remaining unfrozen freshwater is found mainly as groundwater, with only a small fraction present above ground or in the air.

Surface water is water in a river, lake or fresh water wetland. Surface water is naturally replenished by precipitation and naturally lost through discharge to the evaporation.

Water us a very importantResource!

Water is a simple compound of hydrogen and oxygen. Water is a renewable resource.

Of the 3% of fresh water,only three percent is frozen in glaciers and and polars ice

caps.

agencies, researchers, and environmental organizations

working towards the

following vision

Industrial water use includes water used for such purposes as

fabricating, processing, washing, diluting, cooling, or

transporting a product; incorporating water into a product;

or for sanitation needs within the

manufacturing facility. Some industries that use large amounts of water produce such

commodities as food, paper, chemicals,

refined petroleum, or primary metals.

Household are services we

use every day in our daily

life.

Primary body contact may consist

of the following recreational

activities depending on the

characteristics of your water resource.

Environmental water may include water stored in

impoundments and released for

environmental purposes (held environmental

water), but more often is water retained in

waterways through regulatory limts of

abstraction. Environmental water

usage includes watering of natural or artificial

wetlands, artificial lakes intended to create wildlife habitat, fish ladders, and

water releases from reservoirs timed to help fish spawn, or to restore

more natural flow regimes.

DO YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT, HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO SAVE WATER :

Why do we need to save water?We need to save water because ocean water is very salty so, if the fresh water finish,we can’t use salty water for cooking, drinking, bathing .

What are some ways to conserve water ? turn off the water while you are brushing or washing your face . take shorter showers don’t fii the tube

Water has a very important cycle.Look the image

Water is more than a chemical substance contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms. Water has become a reason for conflicts and a controversial commodity, and yet, it is inevitable for every human being on the planet.

bad usage of water:Water newsWater news

Eric Goldstein, a spokesman for the Natural Resources Defense Council, has stated that the water distribution systems of cities such as Chicago, Denver, Philadelphia and New York are in urgent need of repair. The antiquated water delivery systems in these cities are comprised of nearly 1 million miles of piping, mostly made of iron. As the iron pipes corrode, clean water flowing through them becomes contaminated with rust. Over time the pipes also rupture, causing not only water loss, but the introduction of pollutants and diseases from the ground. “Investigations conducted in the last five years suggest that a substantial proportion of waterborne disease outbreaks, both microbial and chemical, are attributable to problems within distribution systems,” said the National Research Council in a report released in December for the Environmental Protection Agency. There are 170,000 public water distribution systems at work nationwide, and municipalities spend more than $50 million each year to supply clean drinking water in accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974.

SOIL

Soil is the layer of soil covering the rocks.On the floor are pieces of rock, water, air and remains of animals and plants.In soil growing roots of plants and many animals live, such as earthworms, moles and ants.

Soil is considered what is outside giving plants room to grow.or holding up buildings.Soil is founded on the mountains the playground,the forests,outside in our backyards,etc.

Dirt is something that make an object or living thing unclean or dirty. Is what make your things dirty.

Where does Soil came from?What is Soil made up of?

•Most of the soil here on earth has been around a long time. Soil is formed from the weathering of rocks. Decayed plants and animals gives this material nutrients so that plants can grow and insects can live there. Water and air feel in the spaces to make room for insects to live.

•Soil is made up of decomposing leaves, dead bugs, tree limbs and the organic material called humus, ground up rocks, clay, sand, and microbes. •Soil is composed of both inorganic materials and living organisms. 

HOW DO PEOPLE USE SOIL RESOURCES?

Soil provides the basis for life, giving nutrients to plants, which allow animal life to exist. Soil is also used extensively in human production.  It contains natural fibers, and produces lumber and crops that people consume.

Crops are usually grown on mollisols, grassland soils.  Soils found in other places, such as tropical rain forests, usually lack the nutrients necessary to support the growing of crops.

It help us for doing things.

What are SOIL HORIZONS?

Soil horizons are the layers of the soil. There are 4 types of soil horizons.

THE LAYERS ARE:The top layer O Horizon. Is the one that have rooting plants and trees on forest floor.

The top layer A Horizon or Topsoil.It has roots,bacteria,fungi and other creatures.(finely descomposed rock)

The top layer B Horizon.It is hard and it have some plants of layer A.

The top layer C Horizon.It`s the parent material that was used to make the other layers.It is harder than the b Horizon and few things live there, and you can find some rocks.

SandThe largest of the soil particles. It is huge when it is compared to clay. When you rub it, it feels rough. This is because it has sharp edges. Sand doesn't hold many nutrients.SiltSilt is a soil particle whose size is between sand and clay. Silt feels smooth and powdery. When wet it feels smooth but not sticky.

ClayClay is smooth when dry and sticky when wet. Soils high in clay content are called heavy soils. Clay also can hold a lot of nutrients, but doesn't let air and water through it well.

How does water get into the soil?When it rains, the rainwater pours into the pores in the soil. Pores are spaces in the soil that come in different sizes. They let in and hold water. They also let air in so that the small animals and insects living in the ground can breathe.

Why do plants grow so well in the soil?The soil has a lot of the things in it that plants like to eat. They don't really eat like you and me, though, they absorb nutrients with their roots. They also use their roots to drain water from the soil for a nice, refreshing drink. This keeps the soil from staying too wet. Roots help make soil, too. They split rocks into pieces that later become soil.

Can we lose soil? Yes. Soil "erodes" when there is nothing to help it stay in place.

How can we keep our soil in place?Plant some grass, trees or other plants in areas where the soil is eroding. They help keep soil from moving around. Farmers have ways to keep the soil on the land so that they can grow food for us to eat. They use special machinery when they plant their crops, and they plant windbreaks. Windbreaks are rows of trees that are planted next to fields to keep the wind from blowing the soil away. When we try to save our soil it is called "soil conservation." Conservation is the best way to be sure that we have land to live on now and in the future.
