4. • 71% (1.4 billion cubic meter in volume) of Earth’s
surface is covered by water.
• 99% Water is generally unsuitable for human use:
1) 97.3% Salinity (Sea Water)
2) 1.7% Location (ice-cap & Glaciers)
• Only 0.77% of fresh water in Lacks, Wetlands,
rivers, ground water and atmosphere.
Global Overview

5. Over two thirds of the
earth's surface is
covered with water,
97.2% of which is
contained in the five
oceans. The Antarctic
ice sheet, containing
90% of all fresh water
on the planet, is visible
at the bottom.
Atmospheric water
vapour can be seen as
clouds, contributing to
the earth's albedo.

6. Iceberg and Polar cap store most of the fresh water
on Earth

7. Volume of water stored in
the water cycle's reservoirs

Atmosphere 0.013 0.001
Streams & rivers 0.0017 0.0001
Biosphere 0.0006 0.00004

Use Of water

10. • Non-Consumptive use: The withdrawal of
water from sources, wherein part of the water may
be returned after use to same source and can be
used again.
• Consumptive use: Which water does not return
to its source after the use. It’s consumed by plants,
animal or human tissues.
Use of water

11. Water Requirements
• The fresh water is required for many purposes to
satisfy the human demands.
• Like,
1. Irrigation
2. Domestic water supply
3. Industries
4. Power generation
5. In land navigation
6. Environment-ecology

12. Water Scarcity
•What is Water Scarcity?
Is lack of water to meet the demand (Quantity)
or lack of access to safe water. (Quality)

13. “Cause of Water Scarcity”
1.Population growth

14. •Cause by| Climate change

15. •Legislation and water resource
management

16. Caused Upon | Water Quality

17. Caused by | Water demand

18. •Affect of Water scarcity

19. •Health |Life |disease| Agricultural
1 out of every 4 deaths under the age of 5
worldwide is due to a water-related disease

20. One quarter of the
global population
also live in developing countries
that face water shortages due
to a lack of infrastructure to
fetch water from rivers and
aquifers.
•Health |Life |disease| Agricultural

21. 80%
Illness cause by unsafe water and
Sanitation condition
in world.
•Health |Life |disease | Agricultural

22. Water Management
•Goal: sustainable supply of high quality
water
•How do we supply water?
• Building dams (ex: Columbia River)
• Diversion (ex: Colorado River)
• Desalination - very expensive to build &
operate plants

23. Water Conservation: Agriculture
• Single largest user of water worldwide
• Much lost to evaporation or seepage
• Solution: drip irrigation
• Perforated pipes distribute water
• Goes straight to plants
• Reduces water use 40-60%

24. Water Conservation: Municipal
• Solutions:
• Use gray water
• Education: modify habits
• Water-saving fixtures
& Appliances
• Repair leaks
• Cisterns & rain barrels
• Water gardens

25. Uses of Reclaimed Water
• Agricultural Irrigation
• Landscape Irrigation
• Industrial Recycling and Reuse
• Groundwater Recharge
• Recreational / Environmental Uses
• Non-Potable Urban Uses
• Potable Reuse

27. Why reuse wastewater in agricultural
irrigation?
1. Freshwater resources can be reserved for
other uses
2. Chemical fertilizer usage can be minimized
3. Discharge of reclaimed wastewater to water
bodies can be prevented

30. Landscape Irrigation &
Recreational
• Landscape Irrigation
– Parks
– School yards
– Highway medians
– Golf courses
– Cemeteries
– Residential
• Recreational / Environmental Uses
– Lakes & ponds
– Marsh enhancement
– Fisheries

31. Landscape Irrigation

32. Industrial Reuse & Urban Uses
• Industrial Recycling and Reuse
– Cooling water
– Boiler feed
– Process water
– Heavy construction
• Non-Potable Urban Uses
– Fire protection
– Air conditioning
– Toilet flushing
• Potable Reuse
– Blending in water supply reservoirs
– Pipe-to-pipe water supply

33. Groundwater Recharge
• Groundwater replenishment
– The following must be considered:
• the quality of the recharge water;
• the recharge method used;
• the physical characteristics of the aquifer layers;
• the water residence time;
• the amount of blending with other sources;
• Saltwater intrusion control
• Subsidence control

34. Water Budget of India
• The average annual precipitation received in India
is 4,000 km3.
–Out of which 700 km3 is immediately lost to the
atmosphere
–2,150 km3 soaks into the ground
– 1,150 km3 flows as surface runoff.
–Nearly 62% or 1,202 km3 of the total water
resources is available in the Ganga,
Brahmaputra, Meghna basin.
–The remaining 23 basins have 751 km3 of the
total water resources.
