water is a vital resource majority of our water is salt water with 97.5% accessible freshwater only counts for 0.77%
their apparent differences in availability human conditions range from being a rule to luxury and water, and then having to walk distances to obtain clean water
factors of water include the water, quantity and quality and the abundance of accessible water freshwater is accessible salt water is not drinkable
-
sources of water
includes groundwater, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. The water is used and then runs through a sewage treatment plant and then returned to the original water source.
-
sometimes water is overdrawn from reservoirs, and it causes water to seep into saltwater. This is salt water intrusion.
Water can runoff, and then that water is lost and cannot be used
-
water is necessary and every day use and is heavily industrialized, especially an agriculture. Most of the water is used in agricultural processes some of 40%.
what are use for agricultural is highly consummative different methods of water essential should be used such as drip pipes or treadle pumps
soil depletion is also a major factor in water retention soils and dry lines. Don’t retain as much water as wetland soil.
changes in public policy, need to happen in order to maintain freshwater resources

soils
Soils have a variety of characteristics, for example, soil texture, which is determined by parent material
soils must contain silt, sand, and clay in order to be classified as a soil different percentages of those categories, create different categories of soil
-
-
Soils are more than dirt. They’re also houses water and is the habitat for a variety of species. Also, the growth medium for plants.
organisms in organic matter how themselves in the soil it includes complex food, webs, bacteria, fungi, protozoans, mites, and insects
Soils differ in different environments some are more moist and optimal for plant growth, some more dry and lack qualities for organism habitat
so those are susceptible to derogation due to high tillage and over cultivation of the land that’s why it’s necessary to conserve and restore soil in order to stop extreme erosion

Energy sources and uses
Energy cannot be created or destroyed majority of global energy supply comes from oil at 32.9% and then is followed by coal 30.1%
Methods of energy production include steam, turbines, gas, turbines, and water turbines
around different times of the year use of energy fluctuates in the United States its higher in the summer due to air conditioning
there are renewable nonrenewable energy sources non-renewable includes coal renewable would be solar, wind, farms, Hydro power
