1.)2.4% of water saved 2.) We think the charcoal one because of the paper sucking it all up and filtering it. 3.)Fish tank,cooking water, dishwasher,sink,bathtub,toilet,natures water(rivers,streams,lakes,oceans,ponds),swimming water, animals water, hose water 4.)No, because you lose water filtering it.

=Water Sources Activity A=


 * 1) Which countries are the largest consumers of water? China, India and the United States use the most water.
 * 2) How is this map different from other world maps? How is displaying the data this way better than a regular chart? It's color coated and it tells you how much water each country uses. Its better because its easier to read due to the color coated countries.
 * 3) Do the countries that use the most water also have the largest populations? Do those that use the least have the least populations? Give two examples for each. Some of them have big populations. But its not necessarily the largest. The ones that use the least may not have the least water usage. They are probably more aware of the water they use.

=Water Sources= What we use water for: cooking, cleaning, bathing, drinking, swimming, factories, cars, heaters, dirt bikes, four wheelers, tractors, animals, fishing, boating, water rafting, stay hydrated, clothes, brushing teeth, ice, washing hair, flushing toilet, fish aquarium, shaving, water skiing, garden, lawns, trees, flowerbeds and shrubs, stay alive, power, sewage treatment.

Large city: factories, vehicles, thermoelectric power, swimming pools, sewage treatment. Small city: Swimming pools, cars, factories, sewage plants Suburbs: water well drilling, deer parks, household water use, electritians Rural areas: water filtering, farming

=Activity B=

=Activity C= 1.What we observe: all the water is recycled, the water is evaporated then it comes back with rain. 2.The Rain, lakes and rivers, oceans 3.Eventually if the population keeps increasing. 4.The pink areas are the most populated and near water and the red areas are near water. There is a lot of water near those areas.

=Activity D= Watershed- The area of land where all of the water that is under it or drains off into the same place Drainage basin- Extent of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into body of water,(river lakes seas) Strahier stream order- used to define stream sized based on hieararchy of tributaries

=Google Earth and Our Watershed= 1.)The Elevation rises as you move from the largest river to the smallest. The populations decreases at the little streams and increases at the big streams. The landforms decreased. the landforms that have high elevations are hills and lower ones are valleys 2.)It has changed because the population has decreased,

=Water Pollution= Point source- garbage bag thrown into creek non point source-not dumped directly in Acid rain-cars,gases mixed with water vapor to make rain with a lower ph sos-sulfur dioxcide no2-nitrogen dioxcide they mix with water to make h2so4 sulfuric acid and hno3 nitic acid

=Water Public Service announcement= =Normal Climate= 1.) the temperature is in a pattern it goes high then low like every other year,the percipitation is a little off because there is no pattern 2.) We think that it would help to know how often and how many cloudy and clear days there are 3.) we chose to look at 1992-2001 and there are huge differences the temperture goes to 70 then to 25 rapidly the percipitation changes are very rapid and they are unpredictable

=Project Buoy=

This year was la nina, because the temperture is low and the booie picked up a cold temperture this one is el nino, the temperture is high, 180w, 5n el nino

155w,2n el nino

180w,2s 1 la nina 40w,9n 140w,9n elnino

Over all this year seems like it's going to be an elnino year most of the temperture, 2 degrees over

 * __Secondhand smoke, environmental tobacco smoke__**

Mineral fiber used commonly in a variety of building construction materials for insulation and as fire-retardent. Elevated concentrations of airborne asbestos can occur after asbestos-containing materials are disturbed by cutting, sanding or other remodeling activites. Health effects: lung cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis Reduce exposure: leave undamaged asbestos material alone, use trained and qualified contractors for control measures, follow proper procedures in replacing wood stove door gaskets that may contain asbestos radioactive gas you can’t see, smell or taste Health effects: lung cancer Reduce exposure: soil suction radon reduction system emitted as gases from certain or liquids, higher indoors than outdoors, paints and lacquers, paint strippers, cleaning supplies, pesticides, building materials and furnishings, office equipment Health effects: Eye, nose, and throat irritation; headaches, loss of coordination, nausea; damage to liver, kidney and central nervous system, cancer in animals Reduce exposure: use household products according to manufacturer’s directions, provide plenty of fresh air when using products, throw away unused containers safely, keep out of reach of children and pets, never mix household care products

Formaldehydel/pressed wood products-

1. What causes these pollutants? Formaldehyde is an important chemical used widely by industry to manufacture building materials and numerous household products. It is also a by-product of combustion and certain other natural processes. Thus, it may be present in substantial concentrations both indoors and outdoors.

2. What can be done to reduce the amount of these pollutants? Formaldehyde, a colorless, pungent-smelling gas, can cause watery eyes, burning sensations in the eyes and throat, nausea, and difficulty in breathing in some humans exposed at elevated levels (above 0.1 parts per million). High concentrations may trigger attacks in people with asthma.

3.What can be done to reduce the amount of these pollutants indoors? Average concentrations in older homes without UFFI are generally well below 0.1 (ppm). In homes with significant amounts of new pressed wood products, levels can be greater than 0.3 ppm.

Respirable Particles

1. What causes these pollutants? Fireplaces, wood stoves, and kerosene heaters. See also stoves and heaters, fireplaces, and chimneys, and environmental tobacco smoke.

2.What can be done to reduce the amount of these pollutants? Eye, nose, and throat irritation; respiratory infections and bronchitis; lung cancer.

3. What can be done to reduce the amount of these pollutants indoors? The Partnership for Clean Indoor Air was launched at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg to address the increased environmental health risk faced by more than 2 billion people in the developing world who burn traditional biomass fuels indoors for cooking and heating. According to the World Health Organization, their increased exposure results in an estimated 1.6 million premature deaths each year, largely among women and children. The mission of the Partnership is to improve health, livelihood, and quality of life by reducing exposure to air pollution, primarily among women and children, from household energy use.
