 INTRODUCTION

WATER IS LIFE
Earth is the only living planet in
the solar system It is believed that
life orginated in water.
 EARTH

• Earth is also known

as the watery planet.
• Three-fourth of the
earths surface is
covered with water
• 71% of the earth
surface is covered
with water it appears
to be blue.
Sources of
water
FRESH WATER
1. OCEANS
2. RIVERS
3. LAKE
4. BACK WATER
 GROUND WATERS
• WELLS
• PONDS
• TUBEWELL
 MULTITUDE OF WELLS
• Wells are common in our locality
the upper level of the water table
forms the water level in the well
 FILTER POINT WELLS
• The term filter point wells are used
for the shallow tube wells dug in
sandy regions.
 ARTESIAN WELLS
• The type of well in which water raises
automatically due to pressure to the surface.
• Eg: France
 SPRING
• Water will be flowing out along the surface
whenever water table touches the ground.
• This is known as “spring”
 GEYSERS
• The phenomenon of serve ejection of water from
within the earth at regular intervals is known as
“GEYSERS”
• Eg: The old faithful geyser of the yellow stone
national park in USA.
 HORIZONTAL WELLS OF THE KASARGOD
REGION
• The method adopted by the people of
kasaragod and south canara districts to collect
drinking water is the horizontal wells.
 WETLANDS
• Wetlands are natural sinks of surface water.
• Eg: paddy fields, ponds, swamy region and all
low lying region.
WORLD WATERSHED DAY
2 FEBRUARY
 Water pollutions
• The un desirable change in the physical
chemical and Biological properties of water
termed as Water Pollution.
 EFFECTS OF WATER POLLUTIONS
• The water pollution affects Availability of
freshwater land, air and survival or plant and
animal.
 RAIN WATERS
• 120 Cubic kilometers of water is received
annually through rain in kerala alone.
 HARVESTING RAIN WATER
• Harvesting rain water is the best way to solve
the problem of water scarcity.
• .
 STORAGE OF SURFACE RUNOFF
• Conservation of wetlands
• Protection of forests
• Terrace farming
• Construction of check dams
• Construction of mud walls
• Digging rainwater percolation pits.
RECYCLING OF WATER
 CONCLUSION
• LET OUR TOMORROWS
BE WATER RICH
• WATER IS PRECIOUS
CONSERVE IT
