Answer 5

Water is a common chemical substance that is essential to all known forms of life.About 1,460 teratonnes (Tt) of water covers 71% of the Earth's surface, mostly in oceans and other large water bodies, with 1.6% of water below ground in aquifers and 0.001% in the air as vapor, clouds (formed of solid and liquid water particles suspended in air), and precipitation.

Water conservation refers to reducing use of fresh water, through technological or social methods. The goals of water conservation efforts include:

Sustainability - To ensure availability for future generations, the withdrawal of fresh water from an ecosystem should not exceed its natural replacement rate.

Energy conservation - Water pumping, delivery, and wastewater treatment facilities consume a significant amount of energy. In some regions of the world over 15% of total electricity consumption is devoted to water management.

Habitat conservation - Minimizing human water use helps to preserve fresh water habitats for local wildlife and migrating waterfowl, as well as reducing the need to build new dams and other water diversion infrastructure.

Inadequate investment in water use technologies such as irrigation and water purification facilities. This is particularly the case in developing countries due to high poverty level.

Answer 14

I live in a State that is surrounded by the largest freshwater lakes in the U.S. and I ask myself that all the time. I also ask myself why does Michigan take trash from other countries and bury it here? It does not make sense to bury trash near the largest fresh water source. It makes me angry that they continue to do it. Poison from the garbage could leak into our precious water supplies. I guess in this area, Money is more important that fresh water. Very sad.

Answer 15

Water is never really wasted.  We just need to learn how to make dirty water clean.  If we can take ocean water and make it drinkable and be willing to share it with dry climates, we would never have to worry about waste water again.  It can always be recycled.

Answer 16

Water is never wasted, just altered . The earth recycles water that is not recycled in polution  control plants/ waste water plants.  All the water on earth has been recycled many times.  No need to dwell on that fact.

The water that we do waste is treated water or, for some parts of the world, drinkable water.Then you must  consider how it is wasted. What is your definition of " wasted"  water as compared to"used"  water. Used water in washing your face by you  is used water. To someone that doesn't  wash his face , he would consider it wasted water.

Wasted means to disregard it's value. Everyone puts a value on everything that affects them.  Keep this line of thought going.

Answer 17

Answer 18
