    WATER IS LIFE
    Earth is the only living planet in
    the solar system It is believed that
    life orginated in water.
    EARTH

    • Earth is also known


    as the watery planet.
    • Three-fourth of the
    earths surface is
    covered with water
    • 71% of the earth
    surface is covered
    with water it appears
    to be blue.
    Sources of
    water
    FRESH WATER
    1. OCEANS
    2. RIVERS
    3. LAKE
    4. BACK WATER
    GROUND WATERS
    • WELLS
    • PONDS
    • TUBEWELL
    MULTITUDE OF WELLS

    • Wells are common in our locality


    the upper level of the water table
    forms the water level in the well
    FILTER POINT WELLS
    • The term filter point wells are used
    for the shallow tube wells dug in
    sandy regions.
    ARTESIAN WELLS
    • The type of well in which water raises
    automatically due to pressure to the surface.
    • Eg: France
    SPRING
    • Water will be flowing out along the surface
    whenever water table touches the ground.
    • This is known as “spring”
    GEYSERS
    • The phenomenon of serve ejection of water from
    within the earth at regular intervals is known as
    “GEYSERS”
    • Eg: The old faithful geyser of the yellow stone
    national park in USA.
    HORIZONTAL WELLS OF THE
    KASARGOD REGION
    • The method adopted by the people of
    kasaragod and south canara districts to collect
    drinking water is the horizontal wells.
    WETLANDS
    • Wetlands are natural sinks of surface water.
    • Eg: paddy fields, ponds, swamy region and all
    low lying region.
    WORLD WATERSHED DAY
    2 FEBRUARY
    Water pollutions
    • The un desirable change in the physical
    chemical and Biological properties of water
    termed as Water Pollution.
    EFFECTS OF WATER POLLUTIONS
    • The water pollution affects Availability of
    freshwater land, air and survival or plant and
    animal.
    RAIN WATERS
    • 120 Cubic kilometers of water is received
    annually through rain in kerala alone.
    HARVESTING RAIN WATER
    • Harvesting rain water is the best way to solve
    the problem of water scarcity.
    • .
    STORAGE OF SURFACE RUNOFF
    • Conservation of wetlands
    • Protection of forests
    • Terrace farming
    • Construction of check dams
    • Construction of mud walls
    • Digging rainwater percolation pits.
    RECYCLING OF WATER
    CONCLUSION
    • LET OUR TOMORROWS
    BE WATER RICH
    •WATER IS PRECIOUS
    CONSERVE IT
