4. WATER STRESS Every item that we use needs water for production Domestic bathing, flushing, washing, cooking, drinking… Agriculture People require food to eat Industry Increase demand for goods Increase in Population Power water evaporation from reservoirs of large hydro power projects

5. 'It's not just excess consumption. Man is creating further water stress by polluting fresh water sources.'

10. More food required to feed the growing millions' Increase in Population Converting forests into croplands Fewer Forests Water Pollution Fertilizers and pesticides

11. Fewer forests Topsoil washed out into freshwater sources and reduced recharge of water into the ground

12. Agriculture Fertilizers and pesticides easily dissolve in water. They enter surface water sources through rainwater and irrigation runoff and also percolate into the ground to contaminate groundwater sources. World agricultural area under irrigation Global fertilizer consumption Source: http://maps.grida.no/go/graphic/global_fertilizer_consumption , cartographer: Philippe Rekacewicz, UNEP/GRID-Arendal Source: http://www.earthpolicy.org/Updates/2008/Update72_data.htm#fig11

15. Increased mining for Raw Materials The Damodar river travels through 6 coal fields, 183 coal mines, 28 iron ore mines, 33 limestone mines, 5 copper ore mines, 84 mica mines and Numerous graphite, silver and uranium extracting units . ‘ Water in this river is polluted beyond repair ’ Mining is a highly polluting industry Increased industrialization results in

17. Waste dumped in surface water bodies Waste dumped in open landfills – toxic materials leach into soil and groundwater Waste burnt – air pollutants dissolve in rainwater and pollute surface water sources or seep into ground water aquifers Increased solid waste generation water pollution

20. Religion and Water pollution Bathing in holy rivers More than10 million people bathe in the Ganga daily! During the annual Kumbh Mela, more than a million people take a dip in Allahabad alone! Dead bodies Prayer materials Idol immersion Paints contain many heavy metals

23. Not just Fresh Water , We are polluting our Oceans too

26. A game to check how much you have learnt Play LINK TO THE GAME

27. Divide the class into 5 teams. Team A selects 2 people who will guess the answer. These 2 people turn their face to the wall or go out of the room, so that they can’t see the clue. Play

28. Team A have to act out the clue for the 2 guessers. Either all members of Team A can act it out (very boisterous, but all children are involved) or a representative is selected to do the acting. The other members of Team A (and the rest of the class) see the clue.

29. If the guessers got the right answer in 30 secs, they get 5 points If the guessers get the right answer in 30 secs, they get 3 points Otherwise  The chance then goes to Team B and so on. Rules: No mouthing of words

30. Round 1 Team A – Agriculture Team B – Domestic use Team C – Reservoir Team D – Population Team E – Industrial production

31. Round 2 Team A – Energy Demand Team B – Over exploitation Team C – Urbanization Team D – Lifestyle Team E – Lake destruction

33. Round 4 Team A – Idol immersion Team B – Tourism Team C – mining Team D – Conflicts Team E – Animal products
