Channeling and Diverting of Waterways
Channeling and Diverting of Waterways
Channeling and Diverting of Waterways
• Water is diverted using
instream barriers such as dams
, weirs, culverts, canals, and
pipes that are used in the
construction process.

• It can cause loss of habitat, and
also it can affect the water
quality.

• Refers to the collection of
rainwater from a rooflike
surface, which is then
redirected to a storage.
Aquifer Storage and Recovery
Aquifer Storage and Recovery

• Process of directly injecting the
surface water supplies such as
potable water, rainwater, river
water, and other reclaimed
water into an aquifer for later
recovery and use by means of a
well.

contaminants from municipal
wastewater, such as household
sewage and some industrial
wastewater.
SAVE WATER,
SAVE FUTURE!
What IFS?
This section involves formulating assumptions or possible explanations
based upon obervations.

Give your inferences to the following questions about the end of the
universe.
1. What will happen if the water resources will be depleted accross the
globe? What do you think will be the implications of this natural crisis?
2. On the other hand, what will happen if a REAL Water World would
come into a reality, wherein there will be no landmass on Earth? What
do you think will be the repurcussions of this natural catastrophe?
