anshika needed for water and food scarcity
DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
We know that earth is known as Blue Planet but
• 97.5 % of total water exists as
saline water in oceans• 1.75% of total water exists as
glaciers.• Only 0.007% of total water is
available for drinking .
AVAILABILITY OF WATER
Water Scarcity
FACTORS LEADING TO WATER SCARCITY
CLIMATE
•RISE IN TEMPERATURE
•SCANTY RAINFALL
POPULATION INCREASE
URBANIZATION
QUALITY OF WATER
Present and Future trend of
Water Scarcity
Why water should be conserved
• More than 1 in 6 don't have access to safe drinking water. .
• 1 out of every 4 deaths under the age of 5 is due to a water disease
EFFECTS in FutureIn near future there is a possibility that• Our life span may reduce to 40 years.• Women may have to shave their
heads to keep it clean without water.• Water would be protected by heavy
armies• People may sell off their clothes after
wearing it one or twice.
Possible measures Canal Lining Improved dam management Scientific Water management Awareness Campaigns Water Pricing control Adopt micro-irrigation Reduce return flow
FOOD SCARCITY
• Inadequate precipitation
• Degradation of soil• Global Warming
Factors causingfood scarcity
Non-physicalPhysical
• Rise in Population• Poverty• Economic Crisis• Inaccessibility of
food
PRESENT AND FUTURE TREND OF FOOD SCARCITY
EFFECTS OF FOOD SCARCITY
Malnutrition Weight loss Malabsorbtion leads altered metabolism
Genetic disorders Physical deformities
POSSIBLE MEASURES FOR ELIMINATION OF FOOD SCARCITY Nuclear Science to
improve productivity Genetically modified seeds Organic farming Sustainable farming
Methods
We think after this we won’t take things for granted
and will SAVE WATER and FOOD.
