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.
"H2O" and "HOH" redirect here. For other uses, see H2O (disambiguation) and HOH (disambiguation).
This article is about general aspects of water. For a detailed discussion of its properties, see Properties
of water. For other uses, see Water (disambiguation).
Water in three states: liquid, solid (ice), and (invisible) water vapor in the air. Clouds are accumulations
of water droplets, condensed from vapor-saturated air.
Water is a chemical substance with the chemical formula H2O. A water molecule contains one oxygen
and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at ambient conditions, but it
often co-exists on Earth with its solid state, ice, and gaseous state (water vapor or steam). Water also
exists in a liquid crystal state near hydrophilic surfaces. Under nomenclature used to name chemical
compounds, Dihydrogen monoxide is the scientific name for water, though it is almost never used.
Water covers 70.9% of the Earth's surface,[4] and is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth, 96.5% of
the planet's water is found in oceans, 1.7% in groundwater, 1.7% in glaciers and the ice caps of
Antarctica and Greenland, a small fraction in other large water bodies, and 0.001% in the air as vapor,
clouds (formed of solid and liquid water particles suspended in air), and precipitation.Only 2.5% of the
Earth's water is freshwater, and 98.8% of that water is in ice and groundwater. Less than 0.3% of all
freshwater is in rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere, and an even smaller amount of the Earth's freshwater
(0.003%) is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products.
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.

TYPES
≠ =
RESOURCE
S
A source of economic wealth, esp. of a country (mineral,
land, labour, etc.) or business
enterprise (capital, equipment, personnel, etc.)
A supply or source of aid or
support; something resorted to in time of need
A means of doing something;
expedient.
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
.Water
.Oxygen
.Timber
.Fruit and
veg.
.Meat
from
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
.oil,
.natural
gas.
A non-
renewable
resource is
a natural
resource whi
ch cannot be
produced,
grown,
generated, or
used on a scale
which
can sustain
its consumption
rate, once
depleted there
is no more
available for
future needs.
Nonrenewable get
exhausted as they
are used, and
Renewable are
replenished.
A renewable resource
is a natural resource
with the ability of
being replaced
through biological or
other natural
processes.

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.
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.
#1When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill
one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water.
#2 Some refrigerators, air conditioners and ice-makers are cooled with
wasted flows of water. Consider upgrading with air-cooled appliances for
significant water savings.
#3 Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house,
sidewalk, or street.
#4Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You
can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
#5 Choose shrubs and groundcovers instead of turf for hard-to-water areas
such as steep slopes and isolated strips.
#6 Install covers on pools and spas and check for leaks around your
pumps.
#7 Use the garbage disposal sparingly. Compost vegetable food waste
instead and save gallons every time.
#8 Plant in the fall when conditions are cooler and rainfall is more plentiful.
Monitor your water bill for unusually high use.
# 9Your bill and water meter are tools that can help you discover leaks.
#10 Water your lawn and garden in the morning or evening when
temperatures are cooler to minimize evaporation.
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.
Distribution of energy resources Animal Energy consumption per person:
Annual world energy consumption

Proposal:
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
