Water Resources
005 - Water Resources In this video Paul Andersen explains how water is unequally distributed around the globe through the hydrologic cycles. Seawater is everywhere but is not useful without costly desalination. Freshwater is divided between surface water and groundwater but must me stored and moved for domestic, industrial, and agricultural uses. Subsidized low cost water has created a problem with water conservation but economic changes could help solve the problem. Do you speak another language?

Water Resources

Bozeman science you are very smart thank you for teaching my housework that my teacher give me
-
I think you should really focus on the livestock agriculture industry and the amount of water that funnels there
-
AMAZING LIFESAVER AS ALWAYS. Thank you for the great topic review!
-
how did you make the water resources stencil generation effect in the beginning and during the video ?
please would help a lot. -
Harambe didn't die for this
-
Thank you so much. This really helped me in my Geography.
-
10*

A possible solution that's not mentioned in your video is restoration of arid ecosystems to decrease soil degradation and increase water storage, as an alternative to expensive desalinisation.
-
Agricultural irrigation is highly inefficient since a lot is evaporated. For example simply covering the soil with organic material (mulch from straw for example) can greatly reduce the evaporation and thus the irrigation needs.
-
As a student too whom you are far more helpful in just 12 minutes than my AP teacher is in 2 hours , all i can say is that your work is amazing. Keep doing it for all of us.
-
since most is used by the upper class use's 92% why don't they pay for a 95% efficiency and get over it they keep telling us at 8% to save water and we'll look at the truth. less people should be the second rich bastards can't afford it what the f have you seen the murry darling river they won't make the next flood season with a farm set like that stupid economy people stop sucking (d)

I wish the ads didn't have swear words. Love the channel!
-
Go to Brazil people
LoL -
Massive amounts of agriculture to feed the animals we eat. That is the real and the biggest reason why we use so much water. I would not go as far as to say that we should all become vegetarians. However, I think we have to radically change our diet.
-
It's useful the test that I will do in tomorrow!!!Thanks!!!I hope I will pass this course, GOOD LUCK!!
-
great lesson nice video
-
WHAT ABOUT THE WATER GIVEN TO
ANIMLAS IN FACTORY FARMS!!!! -
