Environmental Impacts

water storage
facilities disrupts
biodiversity
water quality is compromised
shrinking water mass
land subsidence
subsidence is the gradual setting or
sudden sinking of land and one of
the main causes of this is the
removal of underground water.
food security implications
eutrophication
eutrophication refers to the
excessive plant and algal growth in
a body of water caused by the
increase of nutrients in the water,
commonly nitrogen and
phosphorus
 siltation
siltation is a type of water pollution
that is caused by natural activities
such as erosion and sedimentation,
but most often, is a result of human
activities such as agriculture,
construction and heavy industrial
processes
SUSTAINABLE
SOLUTIONS
 Educate to
change
consumption and
lifestyle
Recycle Wastewater
Invention of new water conserva
technologies
 Improve irrigation and
agricultural practices
More than half of the world’s freshwater is
used in the agriculture sector. It is important to
devise systematic strategies to prevent
unnecessary water losses that leads to land
and water degradation; and to keep our water
sources enough for the next years.
Develop energy efficient desalination
plants
desalination refers to the process of
removing salt from saltwater, it is an
effective solution for the constant need for
freshwater; however, tons of energy is
needed for this process
Address
Pollution
Population growth control
As the world population continues to grow, the
water sources are becoming insufficient for our use.
Up to date, at least two billion people have no access
to clean water. The more people, the more water will
be consumed. This will result to higher demand for
water, higher risk of disputes about the existing
water supply and overpopulation also heighten the
cases of water pollution.
