WATER CLASS VI

USES OF WATER• DRINKING• BRUSHING• WASHING

UTENSILS,CLOTHES,VEHICLES• CLEANING PLATES, FLOOR• PRODUCING ELECTRICITY• AGRICULTURE, GARDENING• USED IN INDUSTRIES

NEARLY 2/3 OF EARTH IS COVERED WITH OCEAN/SEA WATER

WATER IN OCEANS AND SEAS IS SALTY [SALINE] AND UNFIT FOR DRINKING , INDUSTRIAL PURPOSE AND AGRICULTURE

SOURCES OF FRESH WATER• 1.RIVER

2.SPRING

3.POND

4.WELL

5.HAND PUMP

WATER IN TAPS COME FROM RIVER USUALLY

Cycling of water in nature- WATER CYCLE

• Basic processes in water cycle

• 1.EVAPORATION

• 2.CONDENSATION

• GAS [VAPOUR]

• LIQUID [WATER]

EVAPORATION• THE PROCESS OF

TURNING WATER TO WATER VAPOUR BY HEATING.

WATER EVAPORATES FROM WATER BODIES AND OTHER SOURCES DUE TO SUN’S HEAT

• THIS WATER VAPOUR JOINS THE ATMOSPHERE CONTINUOUSLY AS A SLOW PROCESS.

• WATER VAPOUR ALSO REACHES THE ATMOSPHERE BY TRANSPIRATION IN PLANTS.

FORMATION OF CLOUDS• THE WATER VAPOUR

MOVES UP AND UNDERGO COOLING , AND CONDENSATION TO FORM CLOUDS.

• MANY TINY DROPLETS OF WATER IN THE CLOUD COME TOGETHER TO FORM LARGER DROPS WHICH ARE HEAVIER AND FALL AS RAIN.

CONDENSATION• THE PROCESS BY

WHICH WATER- VAPOUR

TURNS TO WATER ON COOLING.

EXCESSIVE COOLING OF WATER VAPOUR RESULTS IN SNOW FALL / HAIL

REASONS OF DEPLETION OF WATER TABLE

1. DEFORESTATION

2 . SCANTY RAINFALL

3.EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION BYINCREASING POPULATION

4. DECREASE IN THE SEEPAGE AREA
