Different reasons
Collectable water from rainfall.
The water that falls on roofs and hard surfaces usually flowing into rivers and the sea and recharging the ground water.
In nature the global average proportion of total rainfall that is blue water is about 40%.
About 4,000 to 5,000 km3 are annually withdrawn from blue water sources
On average, the rate of withdrawal of blue water has been about two and a half times faster than the rate of population increase during this century.
About 70 % of the total is supplied for irrigation purposes
Water from our bathroom, showers, washing machine, etc.
It`s not from the toilet
It is a safe and even benefical source of irrigation water in a yard
Water transferred back to the atmosphere from soils, natural foliage and rain-fed agriculture.
The United Nations Water Program
Climate change is significantly affecting the availability of freshwater in many regions around the world.
Pollution that affects our rivers, lochs and wetlands is often characterised in two different forms.
Point source pollution
Diffuse source pollution
Point source pollution can come from sewage treatment works, factories and input from fish farms.
The impacts of pollution can be a loss of biodiversity, as well as adverse effects to our own health.
Quality of water: 57 th place in the world
- measured lakes and rivers
- polluted due to farming and industry
Germany’s freshwater is one of the best in the world
- drinking water is one of the cleanest all over the world.
All Chinese rivers are polluted to some degree:
Household water
Industrial water
Agricultural Water
Condition of water bodies
In the last decade the population has decreased 8% and in connection with that the load of domestic wastewater discharged into water has decreased.
Major water pollutants:
Phosphorus
Nitrogen
Every day 4500 children die, because they don`t have clean water
One in six human have dirty or polluted drinking water
Climate
Bacteria
Poor water systems
Contaminated water e.g Radioactive substances In
Chernobyl.
