Water - Coggle Diagram

- - - - impacts:
        
        death/illness of people in surface streams/rivers
        
        (10% -estimate- of global disease could be prevented by improving water supplies, sanitation&hygiene)
        
        polluted water used for irrigating farmland→crops&livestock may be contaminated
        
        polluted groundwater (from industrial drains, leaking sewers, pesticides, insecticides)→reduce quality of water from aquifers
  - - - results:
        
        grow 3 crops a year
        
        average annual income to almost 100.000 rupees (US$1570)
        
        reduced migration away from rural area
- - - - reservoirs and pipelines
      - wells and boreholes drilled into aquifers below surface
        
        impermeable rock at surface→water can't infiltrate into ground
        
        permeable rock at surface→water will infiltrate
        
        aquifers are mainly found in porous rocks (chalk,limestone)
      - desalination plants where there is a coastline
