  4. European Water Charter Keypoints of the Charter: Essential for life Not an infinite resource Dependence on purified water Suitability Has to be reusable Adequate plant cover Inventory of water resources Correct administration of water Scientific investigation, special training, public training Common heritage National water resources International cooperation

  5. Origin of Clean Water Germany MainlyGroundwater (64%) Lakesand Rivers Waterhastobedemineralised, filteredanddesinfected in a Watertreatment plant

  6. Origin of Clean Water Scotland Essentially, all ofourwater in Scotland comesfrom rain. Whenitdoes rain, twothingscan happen… …The watercanflowintostreams, rivers, lochsandreservoirsandthenbeclassifiedassurfacewater. …Orthewatercan also seepthroughthegroundand form undergroundpools, thiswaterisvery pure asmanyofthepollutantsarefiltered out duringtheseepingprocess. = Most peoplereceivesurfacewateryetsomearesuppliedwithundergroundpools.

  7. Origin of Clean Water Estonia Mainlygroundwater 40% comesfromtheuplands Protectionareas Purificationcentresfiltrateandaeratethewater (remove S, Fe)

  8. Treatment Process Screening Aeration (to supply with air) Clarification Filteration Disinfectant pH Adjustment

  9. WaterPrices

  10. WaterCrisis • Problems sincethe turn ofthemillenium • Waterisusedwastefullyanditismanagedinefficiently • Result: • Healthcarecosts a lotofmoney • Slow economicprocess • Ecologicalproblems

  11. !!! People livingwithout clean drinkingwater. (in millions)

  12. WaterCrisis Examples: • In Spain, peopleuse a lotofwaterforwateringthefields. They pump it out ofthegroundillegally. Ifwecontinuethe same way, thenbytheyear 2025 about 2 billionpeople will live withoutaccessto clean, drinkablewater.

  13. WaterCrisis Solutions: Educate to change consumption and lifestyles Invent new water conservation technologies Recycle wastewater Improve irrigation and agricultural practices Appropriately price water Developenergy efficient desalinationplants Improve water catchment and harvesting Look to community-based governance and partnerships Shrink corporate water footprints
