Uses of water include

Water resources are

the surface- water
resources and the

resources. Each of
these categories is a

 Sources of Fresh
 Water
Surface water:
Surface water is water in a river, lake or
fresh water wetland. Surface water is
naturally replenished by precipitation and
naturally lost through discharge to the
oceans, evaporation, and sub-surface
seepage.
 Ground
Water:
Sub-surface water, or groundwater, is
fresh water located in the pore space of
soil and rocks. It is also water that is
flowing within aquifers below the water
table.
•Desalination:

Desalination is an
artificial process by
which saline water
(generally sea water) is
converted to fresh water.

Colombia: government seeks to moderate water
consumption through rate increase
January 29, 2010 ·
The Colombian government will issue a presidential decree in January
2010 to increase water tariffs in an effort to moderate water
consumption in the country, local paper La República reported.
Rates will be adjusted in each region according to water usage and climate
variables, environment and housing minister Carlos Costa was quoted as
saying.
Households located in cold areas with a monthly consumption of more than
28m3 will experience rate increases, as will households in warm areas
that consume over 34m3/month and those in hot areas with a monthly
consumption exceeding 35m3, the report said.
According to government projections, some 100 municipalities are at risk of
water rationing in 2010, as a result of the El Niño weather phenomenon,
which affects rainfall amounts.
Bogotá city does not appear to be at risk and is using its potable water
reserve to support the water supply in its surrounding municipalities,
according to the report.
A total of 13 municipalities are already experiencing water rationing,
 Proposals: How to
conserve water
If you want to learn how to conserver water and protecting the
environment, learning to conserve water is a great way to make a
positive impact. A four-minute shower may not sound like much,
but in reality can cost up to 40 gallons. But don't worry--there are
ways to change water-hogging household habits into leaner,
greener activities.
Water Conservation
 Run your dishwasherTips
for only full loads.
 Turn off the tap when you brush your
 teeth. Check your toilets for leaks.
 Take shorter showers.
 Water your lawn in the
 morning. Use a cover on
 your pool.
Wash your car with a nozzle
on the hose.
 We are fortunate enough to live in a
place where clean water flows freely
on demand, it can be easy to take it
for granted. From your daily
dishwashing routine to your daily
shower, every drop of this natural
resource is precious. Practicing
conservation is not only good for
the environment, but can save you
money in energy bills.

Finally i had made this
presentation and i hope on
you enjoy and like it. I
hope you understand
about this important
topic, for then i would be
easily to talk about it
and share this
information to save the
water resources and
more important our
beautiful world.
