Managing water resources - Case Study (Block C) - Table 2 by Janice Chin https://padlet.com/janicechin/watermanagement_2018c2 en-us 2018-01-30 13:35:27 UTC 2024-07-04 05:30:21 UTC hello@padlet.com Case Study - How water is management in a selected country? janicechin https://padlet.com/janicechin/watermanagement_2018c2/wish/226060801 In the padlet page, every group should include:
1. Some statistics about water scarcity of the selected country
2. At least 3 ways of managing water resources (Why these methods are more feasible than other methods)
3. At least 3 pictures showing the water resources management.

Example of water management:
1.Dams and reservoirs

2.Storing water underground

3.Better management of wells and aquifers (Replenishing aquifers)

4. Cloud Seeding

5. Rainwater harvesting

6. Desalination

7. Increasing agricultural water productivity

8. Forest water management

9. Water redistribution

10. Water conservation

Want to prepare a database study of the region's water and wastewater infrastructure assets; develop an integrated water, wastewater and treated sewage effluent master plan in Mecca.]]> 2018-02-06 02:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/janicechin/watermanagement_2018c2/wish/228421724 1. Dams and Resorvoirs https://padlet.com/janicechin/watermanagement_2018c2/wish/228422553 Pros:
- Collecting water
Cons:
- Dams trap sediments
- Large dams have led to extinction of many aquatic species]]> 2018-02-06 02:57:41 UTC https://padlet.com/janicechin/watermanagement_2018c2/wish/228422553 2. Cloud seeding https://padlet.com/janicechin/watermanagement_2018c2/wish/228423168 - It is expensive. However, Saudi-Arabia is a rich country.
- The chemicals needed might have an unexpected and negative effect on people and environment]]> 2018-02-06 03:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/janicechin/watermanagement_2018c2/wish/228423168 3. Water conservation https://padlet.com/janicechin/watermanagement_2018c2/wish/228423683 - Make more water-efficient buildings to reduce domestic freshwater usage. (The use of this is increasing in Saudi-Arabia)]]> 2018-02-06 03:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/janicechin/watermanagement_2018c2/wish/228423683 https://padlet.com/janicechin/watermanagement_2018c2/wish/228424038 Saudi Arabia is sitting on a over 10,000 year old aquifer which was discovered in 1980s
After extreme use of this resource Saudi Arabi grew to the 10th biggest seller of wheat
Now most of the water is gone and until 2025 it will grow to the 10th biggest buyer of wheat in the world again]]> 2018-02-06 03:06:15 UTC https://padlet.com/janicechin/watermanagement_2018c2/wish/228424038
