Using Water
Methods of Providing Freshwater Supplies
Each of these methods has specific applications and trade-offs, and their use depends on regional needs,
available resources, and environmental considerations.

Method Description Advantages Challenges

Large storage facilities built to - Ensures reliable water supply


- High construction costs
collect and store water, during dry periods
Reservoirs & Pipelines - Environmental and ecological
distributed via pipelines to - Supports agriculture and
disruption
areas in need. urban areas

- Provides localized water


- Risk of aquifer depletion
Wells and Boreholes into Accessing groundwater by supply
- Contamination from surface
Aquifers drilling into aquifers. - Useful for remote or arid
pollutants
regions

Converting seawater into - Abundant source of water - High energy consumption


Desalination freshwater by removing salt - Reliable in coastal and arid - Expensive infrastructure and
and impurities. regions maintenance

Structures built on rivers to - Provides water for multiple

hydropower. - Helps control floods
MANAGING WATER
Key Aspect Details

- Water cycle maintains supply but availability varies.


Water Supply Variations - Rainy regions may have surplus; arid regions face droughts.
- Examples: River Nile supports dry regions like Egypt and
Sudan.

- 1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water.


Global Water Challenges - 2.5 billion people lack proper sanitation, causing health
risks.

Large-Scale Solutions - Reservoirs and dams store water.


- Pipelines and tunnels transfer water to scarce regions.

- Local techniques tailored for small communities.


Small-Scale Solutions - Conserving and recycling water improves resource
efficiency.

Leak Management - Detecting and repairing leaks prevents water wastage and
ensures efficient usage.

Importance of Awareness - Focus on reducing water wastage and ensuring equitable


distribution through local and global efforts.
