Your body is about 65 per cent water. You can live without food for thirty days or even for a few days. When the water content in your body drops just by 1 per cent, you feel thirsty. If it drops by 10 percent, there is a danger of death. water has two unique qualities: It is essential for life and it cannot normally be replaced by another resource.



We have many needs for water!

Human beings need water for personal use, agriculture and industries. At home, water is necessary for drinking, cooking food, washing, cleaning, toilet use, and gardening.

Nature  gives us fresh water every year!

Water cycle- The water cycle gives us two great benefits.First, we get this supply of water every year.Second, as the water evaporates from the ocean and falls on land, it loses its salt content and thus becomes potable.

Theses water sources also provide a habitat for many animals and plants.In addition, they provide hydropower , transportation, recreation and employment.



Rainwater harvesting

Conserving rainwater through recharging groundwater, or collecting and storing it for future use.

A way in which rainwater can be harvested.A way to show down the flow of water on land though bunds and check dams.The longer he water remains on land, the more it percolates into the ground. This way it recharge the aquifers and wells. Then the water is still available during the non-monsoon months. This method is best suited for villages.

Water scarcity is mainly due to human activities like deforestation, heavy extraction of groundwater, pollution and mining of sand from river beds.

CHAPTER 1 : KNOWING THE ENVIRONMENT

     KNOWING THE ENVIRONMENT The climate will probably change.We could have bigger floods during the monsoon and severe droughts at other times.The term 'environment' is defined as the natural world in which plants ,animals and humans live. Ecosystem While discussing environmental issues, the term 'ecosystem' comes up often. An ecosystem is an area in which a particular group of organisms lives and interacts with its environment.A puddle of water, a stream, a clump of bushes, a thick forest, or a large desert-all are ecosystem. A forests ecosystem consists of trees, animals, birds, butterfly,etc. An ocean ecosystem includes the waves, currents, marine animals, seaweeds, corals, temperature, salinity and so on.The ecosystem of this planet are interconnected and interdependent.Ecosystem provide us with invaluable services.For example, a forest ecosystem retains water and releases it slowly. A wetland ecosystem cleans up water. Many ecosystem together ke...

Chapter 3

                            Air: It is the breath of life! The earth has a blanket of air! Earth is the only known planet with an atmosphere that can support life. The atmosphere is a blanket of gases surrounding the earth. Atmosphere: What does it contain?  Two gases make up the bulk of the earth's atmosphere by volume: nitrogen(78 per cent) and oxygen(21 per cent). The remaining one per cent is composed of' 'trace' gases, the most prevalent of which is argon. The rest of the trace gases, although present in only minute amounts, are very important to life on earth.Two in particular, carbon dioxide and ozone, have a large impact on atmospheric processes.Another gas, water vapour, also exists in small amounts. It varies in concentration from being almost non-existent over desert regions to about 4 per cent over the oceans. Water vapour is important in the formation of weather. The atmosphere has fo...
