Geo - Water and Energy - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Deep, narrow holes made in the group to locate and extract water.
      - Taps into underwater stores of water and pulls it up through pumps or a bucket
    - - The extraction of fresh water from salty sea water 
      - Water from aquifers are distilled by waste energy
    - - A reservoir is a structure that involves building a dam across a river to create a large lake behind it. The purpose of a reservoir is usually to provide a water supply or to control flooding 
      - They hold back water by providing a block in the river and having a smaller point for the river to pass through, and also produces electricity
  - - - Supplying Water - poverty can cause problems in supplying water especially in regions with high population density. There is a higher water demand in MEDCs. Modern appliances require water.
      - Managing water resources - Bigger Demand in MEDCs.
    - - Supplying Water - poverty can cause problems in supplying water especially in regions with high population density
      - Managing water resources - Inefficient bureaucracies and corrupt officials as well as lack of resources to make
  - - - Katse dam made on malibamatso river, 186 meters high
      - Matsoku weir and tunnel to the matsoku river
      - 48.2 km tunnel transfers water from katse reservoir to muela hydroelectric station
    - - Tunnel transfers from mohale and katse reservoir
      - Mohale dam on senqunyane river
    - - Dams at mashai, tsolike and ntohae
    - - Average rainfall of over 1000 mm
      - 50% of the water in the senqu is from Lesotho
      - deep and steep valleys
    - - Provided 1.5 million to Lesotho, extra water to the capital maseru in times of shortage. Muela power station provides electricity for Lesotho. Hundreds of kilometres of roads were built. 4000 people got temporary jobs
      - Threatened alpine flora in the lesotho highlands. 17 hectare katse botanical garden established
      - Phase 1a took land and houses from 20,000 people while phase 1b took 7,000. They were offered new houses and compensation but this did not happen
      - Decrease in populations of fish such as the maluti minnow
- - - - The natural gas is burned which heats water to create steam which rises up and spins a turbine creating energy through a generator
    - - The oil is burned which heats water to create steam which rises up and spins a turbine creating energy through a generator
    - - The coal is burned which heats water to create steam which rises up and spins a turbine creating energy through a generator
    - - The wind turns the wind turbine which connects to a gear box which then spins a generator producing electricity
    - - Water runs past a turbine trying to go into the river which turns a generator creating electricity
    - - Buoys pump water by the waves which pushes water through a turbine which spins a generator which creates electricity
    - - The tides are allowed through a barrage into a turbine which makes it spin powering a generator
    - - The energy by the sun is absorbed and that produces electrical charge
    - - Burnt biomass heats up water which turns into steam which spins a turbine connected to a generator
  - - - Gas - 40%
      - Renewable - 29%
      - Coal - 6%
      - Nuclear - 21%
      - Other - 3%
