Hello, my name is Colleen Guzman Lorza I hope you

enjoy my virtual booklet and learn more about Natural

Resources: water, soil, and energy. I did this virtual booklet

with the purpose of making people aware of the damage we

are doing to our planet.

My name is Colleen Guzmán Lorza l live in Cali Colombia, but l was

born in Orlando Florida on the 13 of September of 2000.Now l am

studying at Colegio Bennett. l like to sing, play chess and play the

violin. Ilike reading. My favorite writer is the Colombian Gabriel

Garcia Marquez, and my favorite book is ‘’A Hundred Years of

Solitude’’.

Natural resources are the raw materials necessary for our

subsistance and well being. They can be divided in two main

groups: renewable and non-renewable. Renewable resources

are not exahusted by the the use we make of them. Non-

renewable resources will one day get exhausted so we must

look for substitudes non-renewable resources are tipically fossil

fuels. We must look for alternative energy sources. Sun shine

and wind are promising energy sources.

Water is the main renewable resource. It is essential in all life

processes but nowaday it is heavily polluted by industrial

waste.A notorious case of water pollution occurred in

Minamanta Bay, in Japan, in the 1950s, where the waters

where contaminated with mercuty. Fish and cats that ate fish

appered dead. Some people developed neourolic disorders and

some died. Fish ate mercury and cats and people ate fish

contaminated with mercury.

The fluid which descends from the clouds in rain, and which forms rivers, lakes, seas, etc.

A body of water, standing or flowing; a lake, river, or other collection of water.

Any liquid secretion, humor, or the like, resembling water; esp., the urine.

A solution in water of a gaseous or readily volatile substance; as, ammonia water.

The limpidity and luster of a precious stone, especially a diamond; as, a diamond of the first

water, that is, perfectly pure and transparent. Hence, of the first water, that is, of the first

excellence.

A wavy, lustrous pattern or decoration such as is imparted to linen, silk, metals, etc. See Water,

v. t., 3, Damask, v. t., and Damaskeen.

An addition to the shares representing the capital of a stock company so that the aggregate par

value of the shares is increased while their value for investment is diminished, or "diluted."

To wet or supply with water; to moisten; to overflow with water; to irrigate; as, to water land; to

water flowers.

To supply with water for drink; to cause or allow to drink; as, to water cattle and horses.

To wet and calenders, as cloth, so as to impart to it a lustrous appearance in wavy lines; to

diversify with wavelike lines; as, to water silk. Cf. Water, n., 6.

To add water to (anything), thereby extending the quantity or bulk while reducing the strength or

quality; to extend; to dilute; to weaken.

To shed, secrete, or fill with, water or liquid matter; as, his eyes began to water.

To get or take in water; as, the ship put into port to water.

Natural Resources are the

basic materials for human

consumption.

I think Natural Resources are

the materials found in nature

that we use to satisfy our

needs.

I think Natural Resources are

the things the natural gives

us.

Some natural resources are:

the water, the soil, the

animals, the vegetation, etc.

NATURAL RESOURCES

Natural resources are derived

from the environment. Many

of them are essential for our

survival while others are used

for satisfying our wants.

Natural resources may be

further classified in different

ways.

RENEWABLE NONRENEWABLE

animals

Renewable resource - any natural resource (as wood or solar energy) that can be replenished naturally with the passage of time

natural resource, natural resources - resources (actual and potential) supplied by nature.

Fossil

fuels:

.coal

A renewable resource

is a natural resource

with the ability of

being replaced

through biological or

other natural

processes.

Part one

WHAT IS A RESOURCE?

Resources: The total means available for economic and political development,

such as mineral wealth, labor force, and armaments. The total means available

to a company for increasing production or profit, including plant, labor, and raw

material; assets.

A resource is any material that can be used to satisfy human needs. Some

resources are basic and some complementary basic resources are the kind of

resources that are essential for human life.

EXAMPLES: Water and food.

Complementary Resources are the ones that maybe important but are not

necessary for life.

EXAMPLES: Oil and Coal.

What are Natural Resources?

Natural resources are things that occur naturally, and that are

useful to us. They include fuels such as oil and natural gas, and

materials such as iron ore, and timber.

Natural resources may be renewable or non-renewable

Renewable resources are those that are replaced in nature at a rate

close to their rate of use e.g. plants, forests and animals. Care is

needed to make sure resources are used sustainably and not over-

harvested. There are non-living renewable resources too such as

hydroelectric power, solar power, biomass fuel, and wind power.

Non-renewable resources exist in fixed amounts or are used up

faster than they can be replaced in nature e.g. fossil fuels. (Fossil

fuels could be counted as renewable but as they take millions of

years to form they are not practically considered 'renewable'.)

TYPES OF NATURAL RESOURCES?

INDISPENSABLE RESOURCES: Are resources we

cannot do without.

Examples: water sunlight vegetables and animal

food sources.

DISPENSABLE RESOURCES: Are resources that are

not necessary to keep life itself.

INDISPENSABLE RESOURCES: Are the ones that we

cannot do without to stay alive.

EXAMPLES: Water and food.

DISPENSABLE RESOURCES: Are the resources we

can do without and still we can stay alive.

EXAMPLES: Oil, Coal.

It is estimated 69% of worldwide water use is in irrigation. In some areas of the

world it necessary to grow agricultural products.

Water is used in industrial processes as a component of the

product, as a compound involved in the processes or in the

cleaning of machinery and industrial plants about 15% of the

total human use of water in main industry.

It is estimated that 15% of worldwide water use is for household propose.

These include drinking water, bathing, cooking, sanitation, and gardening.

Percentage of water using recreation is very small. Water in lakes,

rivers and coast lines that are used for other purposes can also be

used for recreational ones.

JINNJINJ

Explicit environmental use of water is also very small. Environmental

use is the use that is made to improve the environment, artificial lakes for

example can be made to improve the environment by provided an adequate

environment for flora and fauna.

It is important to keep water clean. It is also important to save water

because it is getting scarcer every day. There are many areas of the

world in which water is in short supply. But it is very difficult and

expensive to clean water ones is been polluted. Drinking water must be

particularly clean because otherwise it may cause toxicity and infection.

The worst use of water is made by industries that pollute lakes,

rivers, and seas with their waste products. Most fish worldwide had been

contaminated with mercury, and elements that can cause brain damage

and other nervous system ailments and death, people get poisoned with

mercury when they eat fish that has been contaminated with this

element. Mercury is use in several industrial processes and some

industrial wastes containing mercury are dumped into the water systems.

Water is one of the most vital natural resources for all life on Earth. The

availability and quality of water always have played an important part in

determining not only where people can live, but also their quality of life.

Even though there always has been plenty of fresh water on Earth, water

has not always been available when and where it is needed, nor is it

always of suitable quality for all uses. Water must be considered as a finite

resource that has limits and boundaries to its availability and suitability use.

Traditionally, water management in the United States focused on

expanding or manipulating the country's supplies of fresh water to meet the

needs of users. A number of large dams were built during the early

twentieth century to increase the supply of fresh water for any given time

and place. This era of building large dams has passed. In the twenty-first

century, the finite water supply and established infrastructure require that

demand be managed more effectively within the available sustainable

supply. Water-use information can be used to evaluate the impacts of

population growth and the effectiveness of alternative water management

policies, regulations, and conservation activities.

On the expansion of Minamata disease, the booklet notes, "The

government's failure to prevent the harmful impact on human health from

increasing, due to not taking strict measures against the responsible

companies for a long time, still provides valuable lessons today."

"It shows how important it is to take countermeasures quickly, as well as

how preventive measures should be taken even when there is scientific

uncertainty over the cause of the problem," it says.

Hayamizu also said the government is willing to hold a seminar in

Minamata, Kumamoto Prefecture, following the one last June, after the

Uruguay meeting to explain the development of the negotiations to the

Minamata people and exchange views on the treaty with them.

In Minamata, meanwhile, Yoichi Tani, 63, keeps a cool eye on the

development of the negotiations.

"The ongoing talks must aim at mediating the differences among the

countries before concluding the treaty. Thus, there must be a gap between

their realistic decisions and the ideals of the local people (of Minamata),"

said Tani, who has supported the victims for more than 40 years in the

field.

"But I expect the international community to share its knowledge about the

hazardous nature of mercury, based on the experiences of Minamata, and I

hope the conclusion of the Minamata Treaty will not close the curtain on the

Minamata issue as the whole picture of this issue remain unexplained, " he

said.

Limited supply unlimited demand

Almost all the energy available to us today has a single source-the sun. Light and heat reach

us directly from the sun; food and wood owe their energy content to sunlight falling on plants

; water power exists because the sun’s heat evaporates water from the oceans to fall later as

rain an snow on high ground ; wind power comes from motions in the atmosphere due to

unequal heating of the earth’s surface by the sun. The fossil fuels coal, oil, and natural gas

were formed from plants and animals that lived and stored energy derived from sunlight

millions of years ago.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Dishwashers can waste so much water if you run it when it is not full.

Wash your dishes without use of the dishwasher. If you do need to use a dishwasher, make sure it is completely full before you turn it on.

DO NOT keep water running while brushing your teeth/ doing the dishes.

When you brush your teeth, wet the toothbrush first and turn the water off immediately. And use a natural toothpaste.

Men, you do not need the water running when you shave.

Fill the sink up a little less than halfway, and use that water to rinse your blade.

Some people are bothered by this, but it is essential. The toilet.

Every time you flush the toilet, you waste 10 gallons of water. So why not just flush when necessary?

POSTERS

QUOTES

Water has no taste, no color, no odor; it cannot be defined, art relished while ever

mysterious. Not necessary to life, but rather life itself. It fills us with a gratification

that exceeds the delight of the senses.

ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPERY (1900-1944), Wind, Sand, and Stars, 1939

Water is the one substance from which the earth can conceal nothing; it sucks out its

innermost secrets and brings them to our very lips.

JEAN GIRAUDOUX (1882-1944), The Madwomen of Chaillot, 1946

When the well is dry, we know the worth of water.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, (1706-1790), Poor Richard's Almanac, 1746

The crisis of our diminishing water resources is just as severe (if less obviously

immediate) as any wartime crisis we have ever faced. Our survival is just as much at

stake as it was at the time of Pearl Harbor, or the Argonne, or Gettysburg, or Saratoga

JIM WRIGHT, U.S. Representative, The Coming Water Famine, 1966
