Water Forms and Distribution
About 71% of the earth’s surface is covered with water.
4
Sources of water
1) Rain2) Surface water i)Impounding reservoirs ii)Rivers and streams iii)Tanks ,ponds, lakes
3) Ground water
5
Oceans
Contain more than 97% of the earth’s water.
Can be used after being desalinated.
6
Prime source of water
Purest form of water
Dissolved solids- 0.0005%
Becomes impure as it passes through atmosphere
Acid rain
Rain
7
Dams across rivers and streamsCharacteristics:
o Quality next to rain watero Impurities derived from catchment area
Impounding reservoirs
8
Rivers
Most of the times polluted and unfit for drinking without treatment
Turbid during rainy seasons and clear in other seasons
Impurities from sewage, drainage from agriculture, industrial
wastesSelf purification- by oxidation, dilution, aeration, sunlight
9
Tanks
Tanks are large evacuations to store surface water
Major water source in Indian villagesCertain amount of natural purification
by sunlight and oxidationSand filtration prior to useChlorination- additional protection

An artesian well is a pump-less water source that uses pipes to allow underground water that is under pressure to rise to the surface
For centuries, people have drilled artesian wells to drink filtered water that doesn't need to be manually or mechanically lifted up from the depths.

Shallow- Driven wells
Deep- Bored wellsLife- 5-30 years

Sanitary well
Properly located , well constructed, protected against contamination
Points to be considered in construction of Sanitary well

Types of WaterHard waterSoft water

What is hard water?
Hard water contains dissolved calcium and magnesium
compounds such as :
magnesium bicarbonate [Mg(HCO3)2]
calcium bicarbonate [Ca(HCO3)2]
magnesium sulphate [MgSO4]
calcium sulphate [CaSO4]
Hard water can be Temporary or Permanent.
Temporary hard water contains magnesium
bicarbonate and calcium bicarbonate.
Permanent hard water contains Magnesium sulphate
and calcium sulphate.
23
Lime-scale deposits
Softening temporary hard water
Temporary hard water contains calcium bicarbonate.
Temporary hardness can be removed by boiling the water. Lime-scale would be left behind.
This is relatively easy to remove, because it decomposes on heating to form solid calcium carbonate:

Softening hard water
Both temporary and permanent hard water can be softened by adding sodium carbonate (washing soda).The sodium carbonate reacts with the calcium compounds in the water to form calcium carbonate and soluble sodium compounds, which do not contribute to hardness:

Soft Water
Water with very low concentrations of minerals.
Advantages:Soap lathers easily and is sometimes difficult to
rinse off.No\minimal lime scale formation in pipes, vesselsPotable i.e. fit for human consumption

Water- Human body needs
Water’s roles in the body Carries nutrients and waste products Maintains the structure of large molecules Participates in metabolic reactions Solvent for minerals, vitamins, amino acids,
glucose and others Lubricant and cushion around joints,
inside the eyes, the spinal cord, and in amniotic fluid during pregnancy
Regulation of body temperature Maintains blood volume

Legislations concerned to Water
The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act was enacted in 1974 to provide for the prevention and control of water pollution, and for the maintaining or restoring of wholesomeness of water in the country. The Act was amended in 1988.
The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act was enacted in 1977, to provide for the levy and collection of a tax on water consumed by persons operating and carrying on certain types of industrial activities. This tax is collected to augment the resources of the Central Board and the State Boards for the prevention and control of water pollution constituted under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. The Act was last amended in 2003.

Govt. of India Policies
RAJIV GANDHI NATIONAL DRINKING WATER MISSION(RGNDWM)
The Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme(ARWSP) was introduced in 1972-73 by the Government of India (GOI), to assist the States and Union Territories to accelerate the pace of coverage of drinking water supply.
The Technology Mission on drinking water and related water management was launched in 1986. It was also called the National Drinking Water Mission (NDWM). The NDWM was renamed Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water mission (RGNDWM) in 1991

Rainwater Harvesting policies
Bangalore In order to conserve water and ensure ground water
recharge, the Karnataka government in February 2009 announced that buildings, constructed in the city will have to compulsorily adopt rain water harvesting facility. Residential sites, which exceed an area of 2400 sq ft (40 x 60 ft), shall create rain harvesting facility according to the new law.
Chennai Rainwater harvesting has been made mandatory in three
storied buildings (irrespective of the size of the rooftop area). All new water and sewer connections are provided only after the installation of rainwater harvesting systems.
Similar initiatives are also taken in other states.

Water Day- 22 MARCH
37
Water Day
World Water Day has been observed on 22 March since 1993 when the United Nations General Assembly declared 22nd March as World Day for Water.
38
2013 Water Day
In designating 2013 as UN International year
of Water co-operation the UNO recognizes that
co-operation is essential to strike a balance
between the different needs and priorities and
share this precious resource equitably using as an
instrument of peace.
