Global Need

Quipper Not all countries have freshwater sources, but everyone needs
clean water.
September Approximately 70% of the world’s clean water is used for
19 agricultural production.
50
Tuesday minutes - In areas where is a little supply of water, the market
price for freshwater increases because the
technology needed to produce safe drinking and
consumable water involves more processes.
- Not all countries can afford clean water.
- According to the United Nations (2013), more than
700 million people in the world do not have access
to clean water.
- As a result, around 7 million die annually because
of water-related diseases and disasters.
- It is said that the global demand for clean water may
soon exceed reliable supplies of clean water.

The higher the demand for water is mainly due to increase in

population and economic growth.

- This gets worse if the country receives very little

rainfall. As such, the amount of water used for
different purposes varies from country to country.
- Most of the clean water available is used for
agricultural purposes. Irrigation consumes a large
 share of the water resources.

Applied Technology

Water can be reused and recycled, depending on the quality of

water needed for a particular purposes.

- For agricultural irrigation and industrial operations,

water that is free from toxic chemicals may be the
minimum requirement.
- For human consumption, there are considerations
that have to be met for water to be considered safe.
Raw water (either groundwater or surface water) has to go
through at least three different treatment processes:

1. Physical treatment –water should not have suspended

particles or sediments.

- Physically, no dirt or floating substances should be seen on it.

Examples:

Filtration- separates the solids from the liquids using a filter.

Solids are trapped in the screen while water flows through.

Sedimentation- allows solid particles to settle at the bottom.

Sediments or the solid substances are collected at the bottom
when the water moves out to the next treatment process.

In most water treatment plants, both filtration and

sedimentation are used in tandem to ensure that water is
physically clean.

2. Biological treatment – water also needs to be free of any

living form.
- Microorganisms like bacteria and other parasites cannot be seen
by the naked eye so there should be a special process to eliminate
them.

- Contaminated water or water with bacterial content can be a

major problem.

Ex. It can cause intestinal and stomach problems that can

sometimes lead to death.

Common examples of biological treatment include activated

sludge, chlorination, or use of UV light.

3. Chemical treatment – there some harmful chemicals or

excessive amounts of otherwise harmless chemicals which
cannot be removed by physical or biological treatment.

Coagulation – a common type of chemical treatment where

liquid aluminium sulphate and/or polymer is mixed with raw
water to cause these chemicals to stick together.

-this process continues until the larger particles of chemicals

are formed (called flocs), which are easier to remove through
sedimentation or filtration.

Environmental Impacts

Since water is a prime commodity, the high demand for it

requires more withdrawals of water from freshwater resources
and ground water.

- Too much withdrawal of ground water creates a

cone of depression which eventually makes the
ground hollow and may cause ground surface to
collapse.
- The situation is aggravated if the groundwater is in
a coastal area where salts and minerals may enter
the water table through backflow.
- Sinking water tables can also make river less
reliable since most rivers are maintained by springs
September or waters coming out of the cracks and fissures of
20 rocks and soils.

Wednesday minutes Class surface waters and reservoirs.

Generalization: The teacher will ask a question to the students

after the discussion to see if they really understand the lesson.

● What are the differences between the Physical,

biological and chemical treatment?

● How many percent of the clean water available is used

for agricultural purposes?

● How is it important to have a clean water?

Values Integration:

Explain how this verse connected to the lesson.

Hebrew 10:22. Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and
with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts
sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our
bodies washed with pure water.

Clean water is essential to our physical living just as Jesus is

essential to our spiritual living. Without clean water, we can
acquire different illnesses and may cause danger in our lives.

Application:

● Make a pie graph and determine which of your

household’s uses of water is/are indispensable and which
can be served using recycled water.
