Mi Opinion about the Acueducto Conference

I learned a lot when the Company Acueducto came to the school.I learned how is the place that cleans the water and also how do the water get to our home.I also learned some things that I already knew like...
1.We need to take care of the water because if we don´t we will die.
2.We can take care of the water for example...when you wash the vegetables you can colect that water and then put it in the plant.
3.We can also colect water when it rains putting a recipient outside and colecting water so then we can wash the fruit and some vegetables with it.
4.I also learned that when you use the water and it goes down the acueducto it goes to a station that clean the water and then trow it to the river of Bogota.But to clean that water it has to pass in different stages like first into a tube that has some metal bars so the water can pass throug and the big trash can stay there.
5.And at last I learned that you can safe the world by just helping recycle and clean the water.

Investigation about Water

Water is a chemical substance that is composed of hydrogen and oxygen and is vital for all known forms of life.

In typical usage, water refers only to its liquid form or state, but the substance also has a solid state, ice, and a gaseous state, water vapor or steam. Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface. On Earth, it is found mostly in oceans and other large water bodies, with 1.6% of water below ground in aquifers and 0.001% in the air as vapor, clouds (formed of solid and liquid water particles suspended in air), and precipitation. Oceans hold 97% of surface water, glaciers and polar ice caps 2.4%, and other land surface water such as rivers, lakes and ponds 0.6%. A very small amount of the Earth's water is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products.

Water on Earth moves continually through a cycle of evaporation or transpiration (evapotranspiration), precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea. Over land, evaporation and transpiration contribute to the precipitation over land.

Clean, fresh drinking water is essential to human and other lifeforms. Access to safe drinking water has improved steadily and substantially over the last decades in almost every part of the world. There is a clear correlation between access to safe water and GDP per capita. However, some observers have estimated that by 2025 more than half of the world population will be facing water-based vulnerability. A recent report (November 2009) suggests that by 2030, in some developing regions of the world, water demand will exceed supply by 50%. Water plays an important role in the world economy, as it functions as a solvent for a wide variety of chemical substances and facilitates industrial cooling and transportation. Approximately 70% of freshwater is consumed by agriculture.
