Water worries

We are learning to identify and discuss the main ideas in what we read to inform our reader audience

Main Idea:

• To persuade others To create awareness
• To remind people
• To prevent people to stop.
• To create awareness

Can we make water?

Maybe we can filter out the dirty parts of the water turning it into drinkable water.

Problems in the river in page 43

• Animals might drink water filling it up with bacteria.
• They might poop giving bacteria, affecting the river and the ocean that is connected to that river.
• Disgusting liquid waste found from factories.
• Water Cycle
• Signs

Writing:

Ah, Water these simple but crucial liquid is used a lot amongst our everyday life. But humans had a major impact of the quantities of usable water. So Rachael McMillan had created an article to prevent, persuade, remind and create awareness to save our water supply. This article points out the importance of water, how Earth gets its infinite amount of water and how we impacted on the Earth’s water supply.

The main problems that Manawatu River is currently facing. That may lead to dreadful consequences are caused by anything from blocking to tainting the river. These filthy actions will affect the cycle including the part where the water slithers into the ocean, then evaporates and then later on rains. These problems are mostly caused by farm animals that spreads it’s bacteria through saliva, piss and faeces. Animals alone are not the only problem, factories deposit it’s liquid or solid waste onto the river affecting it.

How to prevent a river contamination, you may place fences to repel all animals from doing their business on a nearby river. You may also persuade the factory workers personally or placing a sign reminding and creating awareness of the disadvantages of having a dirty water source. This tactic prevents and help New Zealand keeping its water supply on a reasonably slow pace.

Notes:

• Groundwater is a very crucial water source.
• Water’s are reliable liquid that we use in our everyday needs.
• The water cycle preserves the water from being scarce.
• Water contamination is a huge issue which affects large quantities of water making them pointless.
• Water has been in Earth for as long as the dinosaur to the first living organism.

How pollution and contamination affects our water supply?

Theory:  When rubbish and water makes contact the water will be contaminated making it pointless because we humans cannot consume dirty water due to dreadful and deadly viruses and diseases and use it to clean something.

Where does drinkable water come from?

Most sources of water is gained through rivers, streams, lakes, springs, dams and rainwater off the roof this method is plausible because of Groundwater Aquifers.

What are Aquifers?

Aquifers are an underground area in which collects surface waters and converts it into groundwater.

How does Aquifers filter out the dirty water from surface water?

Groundwater or Underground Aquifers. This method produces drinkable water acquired from surface rain. Which slithers through soils and rocks filtering it making it drinkable and clean, This process fills up the pores between sand grains or the cracks on rock.

What is the main issue that causes water shortage in New Zealand?

Although the water cycle allows waters around the world to never change in quantities and quality. The water usage amongst humans has impacted a huge amount of waters. The main issue of water shortage in New Zealand are mostly by farmers using it for crops, feeding cows (More population means more water needed) and waters that make contact with animal waste that then slides down into a river contaminating the whole river supply.'

What is the water cycle:

First the sun evaporates the water from oceans, rivers and lakes. Then some of the water rises into the air as vapour which then becomes into water droplets in clouds. Eventually, the colder temperatures affects the clouds forcing it to drop rain, hail or snow. Some of the dropped water, hail or snow makes its way back to the river or ocean. Doing the process over and over again.
