1 What about it? It’s a cycle right?

2 What is water? Chemical substance Chemical Formula: H2O One Oxygen, Two Hydrogen Connected with a Covalent Bond State: Liquid in ambient conditions Also exists on earth in solid state (ice) Gaseous state (water vapor / steam)

3 Tidbits Can also exist as liquid crystal state (near hydrophilic surfaces) Using standard chemical compound nomenclature it is… dihydrogen monoxide

4 Fast Facts 70.9% of Earth’s Surface Vital for all forms of life Water Breakdown 96.5% is found in oceans 1.7% is found in groundwater 1.7% is found in the glaciers and ice of Antarctica and Greenland.001% is found as vapor and clouds

5 Breakdowns

6 Freshwater Breakdown

7 Hydrological Cycle

8 Drinking Water Essential to humans and other lifeforms Access has improved but… 1-2 Billion (depending on source) lack access >2.5 Billion lack access to adequate sanitation (see the problem?) Clear correlation between access to safe water and GDP per capita

9

10 Predictions for … 2025: > ½ of the world population will face water- based vulnerability 2030: Some developing regions of the world, water demand will exceed supply by 50%

11 Economy Functions as a solvent for a wide variety of chemical substances and facilitates industrial cooling and transportation. Approximately 70% of the fresh water used by humans goes to agriculture.

12 Compute your Water Footprint EASY (Track Direct Use + Basic Questions) Realistic (Track D+Indirect Usage)

13 Come on Up and Write your Average Consumption

14 FYI: National Average 1190 gal/Day Water Filters: Remove impurities from water by using a fine physical barrier | a chemical process | or a biological process. Cleanse water to various extents for : irrigation, drinking water, aquariums, and swimming pools.
