Good day, I am Romizzelle G.

P
eñafiel, a Teacher from Ca
banatuan City Senior High Sch
ool.
Your teacher presenter for
Teleturuan.
Today, we will talk about Water
Resources
WATER
RESOURCES
At the end of the lesson, you
are expected to:

1 . Identify the various water

resources on Earth.
2 . Describe the distribution of
water on Earth.
 Voice Over
• The Earth is referred to a
s "the blue planet" because
of the abundance of water
• Over 70 percent of the
Earth's surface is comprised
of water, producing a vivid
blue color when viewed from
space.
 Earth, the “Blue Planet”

Vast majority of Earth is covered in water

 Voice Over
The distribution of water on
the Earth’s surface is
extremely uneven. On
ly 3% of water on the surfa
ce is fresh; the remaining
97% is salt water.
 Voice Over
Of freshwater, 69% resides
in glaciers, 30%
underground, and less
than 1% is located in lakes,
rivers, and swamps.
 Voice Over
Only one percent of the
water on the Earth’s is usa
ble by humans, and 99% of
the usable quantity is
situated underground.
Where is our Water?
Earth’s water exists naturally in different
forms and locations:
• Surface water includes still bodies of
waters and river systems.
• Watersheds include all of the land area
that supplies water to a river system.
 SALT WATER
• The majority of water on Earth is salty!
• They are found on oceans and seas.
 FRESHWATER
Fresh water includes water in ice sheets,
ice caps, glaciers, icebergs, bogs, pon
ds, lakes, rivers, streams, and ground
water.
Earth’s water exists naturally in different
forms and locations:
• Groundwater seeps through the soil
becomes contained in underground aquifers.
• Aquifers are permeable layers of rock and so
il that hold water.
There you have it. Please
stay tuned for more
discussion on our lesso
n about Water Resource
s.
We’ll be right back.
Welcome back to
Teleturuan
Let us continue
 Voice Over
Water on Earth is
distributed through Wat
er Cycle.
Water Cycle is also called
the Hydrologic Cycle
 Voice Over
So, how does water move from the
atmosphere to the ground and back?
The water cycle describes how water
evaporates from the surface of the
earth, rises into the atmosphere, cool
s and condenses into rain or snow
in clouds, and falls again to the as
precipitation.
 Voice Over

The water falling on land collects in

rivers and lakes, soil, and porous
layers of rock, and much of it flows
back into the oceans, where it will
once more evaporate. The cycling of
water in and out of the atmosphere is
a significant aspect of the weather
patterns on Earth.
Water Cycle
 Water Cycle
Evaporation
• The transfer of water from the surface
the Earth to the atmosphere.
• The main factors affecting evaporation
are temperature, humidity, wind speed,
and solar radiation.
Transpiration
• The evaporation of water through
minute pores, or stomata, in the leaves
of plants.
 Water Cycle
Condensation
• The transition process from the
vapor state to the liquid state.
• Formation of clouds (made of tiny
water droplets)
Precipitation
• The release of water from clouds in
the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet,
snow, or hail.
 Voice Over
Although water is constantly cycled
around the planet and the absolute
quantities of fresh water on earth
have always remained approximately
the same, the uneven distribution of
water and human settlement
continues to create growing
problems of fresh water availability
and accessibility.
 Voice Over

So let us all conserve water.

Let’s keep water pure and
clean while protecting the
environment.
Conserving water means using
our water supply wisely and be
responsible
 That’s it for now.
I hope that you have
learned a lot about our
lesson on water
resources.
See you again next time.
Goodbye.
