Describe the Distribution of Water in the UK? | -North and West of UK has High amounts of Rainfall, and also has a Water Surplus [More Supply than Demand]
-South East and Midlands has More Higher Water Demands, due to Cities, and have Low Rainfall leading to a Water Deficit. [More Demand than Supply] |
How and Why would the Demand for Water be Increasing? | -1975 saw Water usage Skyrocket up [70%] because of more Things that Require more Water [Dishwashers, Washing Machines..]
-Population is expected to hit 73 Million People in 2040 [UK] - more People = More Water Consumption |
Why would Water Pollution be Detrimental to Populations? How does Water Pollution even Happen? | -Water Pollution will just give more Pressure on Water Suppliers, because there is Less Water to be Used
-Fertilisers give out Phosphates and Nitrates [Pollutes Groundwater] Pollutants from Vehicles affect Water Sources and Factories will create Chemical Substances that affects Water Sources
-Affecting the Water will then spread Diseases which will Restrict the Country from Development. |
What is Water Transfer and why can it be a Problem to do so? | -This is simply Transferring Water from a Surplus Area to a Deficit Area.
-Dams and Aqueducts may be Built, and is Expensive to do so [£300 Million for the Project that'll support Birmingham]
-Wildlife may be Affected in Rivers because of Human Activity affecting them
-And obviously, Political Issues may Rise because why wouldn't it be. |
