SHORTAGE OF
WATER SUPPLY IN
   CHENNAI
WATER
an essence of life…..
“Leave a man without food for a week and you will see
life in him, leave him without WATER for a week and you cannot
feel his pulse”. Such is the importance of water . We have about
326 million cubic miles of water covering 70 percent of our
planet. There is in addition an untold amount of ground water
and water vapor in the atmosphere. For the last 6,000 years of
earth's history this same water supply has been recycling itself
an endless process of evaporation, condensation, and
precipitation. All along the way it services and nourishes every
form of plant and animal life. It unselfishly brings its blessings,
lingers until its job is done and then departs, many times
carrying a load of waste materials which it kindly delivers to
some other life form down the line as useful food.
Water Shortage
Around the World...
As we in water-rich countries take our daily showers, water
  the lawn or laze about in the pool, it's easy to forget that
  fresh water is a life-or-death issue in many parts of the
  world. Of a population of roughly 6.1 billion, more than 1
  billion lack access to potable water. The World Health
  Organization says that at any time, up to half of
  humanity has one of the six main diseases -- diarrhea,
  schistosomiasis, or trachoma, or infestation with ascaris,
  guinea worm, or hookworm -- associated with poor
  drinking water and inadequate sanitation. About 5 million
  people die each year from poor drinking water, poor
  sanitation, or a dirty home environment -- often resulting
  from water shortage
Water Shortage In
Chennai……
A Rs 600-crore tanker industry is capitalising
                     on Chennai’s acute water scarcity. Over 13,000
                     tankers are mining the surrounding farmlands for
                     water. With agriculture in crisis and groundwater
                     levels insufficient for farming, farmers find it
                     easier to live off the money they earn from
                     private water operators
                          Severe water shortages are routine in Chennai
                    every summer. The average person knows he’s got
                    to sweat it out in the baking sun, waiting in an
endless queue for water.  
     The Tamil Nadu government has no answer; it is busy ‘stealing’
water from its farmers to quench the thirst of Chennai’s population
Water shortages are met by lifting water from neighbouring rural
areas.
      Chennai Metrowater says the Upper Veeranam Project, meant to
bring drinking water to Chennai, will result in savings of Rs 500 crore
every year. Right now, however, water continues to be ‘stolen’ from
rural areas around Chennai, destroying valuable farmland and creating a
shortage in itself.
In 2006, the various sources of water
supply to Chennai included:

 # Tanks and bore wells operated by Chennai Metro water:
     120 million liters
 # Water recycling units: 3 million liters
•
    # Private water tankers: 50 million liters

#      Housing board wells/bore wells: 400 million liters

#      Canal/sewage water recycling: 50 million litres
Shortage Of Water Supply In Chennai(Semester Exam)
Causes of Water
Shortage….
• People are not aware of
    the water scarcity
    which they will face in
    the near future.
•   Global Warming
•   Lowering of water level
    in the water table.
• The taps are left open
    and often leaking.
• Lack of frequent RAIN
    FALLS.
• High consumption of
    water by INDUSTRIES.
• Lack of Allocation Rules.
Average Water Usage In The
 Household…

          GARDENING
                      WASHING CLOTHES
Effects of Water
Scarcity…….
•   Spread of Drought
•   Decline of the Agricultural Industry
•   Not a drop of Water to Drink!!
•   Imbalance in the economy.
•   We will have to import water from other states and
    countries.
•   Sadness and despair….
Water Conservation
Methods….
• Leaks etc…in pipes
    should be checked.
•   An Awareness must
    be spread.
•   Taps should be closed
    tightly.
•   Short Bathing periods.
•   Timed Water Supply.
•   Do NOT use a hose to
    wash your vehicle use
    a bucket and sponge
    instead…
• Rain Water Harvesting
    should be encouraged
    and practiced in all
    house holds as well as
    localities.
•   Reverse Osmosis is
    also becoming a
    common method.
•   Collecting and using
    Rain Water for
    cleaning gardening
    purposes etc…
On a Finishing
Note…..
Water is one commodity without which we
cannot even imagine any form of life on this Earth.
God made this world as a beautiful place when it was
given to us and it is our responsibility to live up to it.
     Like little drops of water make an ocean ,if
everyone of us tries to put in a little effort ,we can
make this world a much HAPPIER place to live
in…………..


                              U CAN MAKE
                              A
                              DIFFERENCE
                              !!

Shortage Of Water Supply In Chennai(Semester Exam)

  • 3. “Leave a man without food for a week and you will see life in him, leave him without WATER for a week and you cannot feel his pulse”. Such is the importance of water . We have about 326 million cubic miles of water covering 70 percent of our planet. There is in addition an untold amount of ground water and water vapor in the atmosphere. For the last 6,000 years of earth's history this same water supply has been recycling itself an endless process of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. All along the way it services and nourishes every form of plant and animal life. It unselfishly brings its blessings, lingers until its job is done and then departs, many times carrying a load of waste materials which it kindly delivers to some other life form down the line as useful food.
  • 5. As we in water-rich countries take our daily showers, water the lawn or laze about in the pool, it's easy to forget that fresh water is a life-or-death issue in many parts of the world. Of a population of roughly 6.1 billion, more than 1 billion lack access to potable water. The World Health Organization says that at any time, up to half of humanity has one of the six main diseases -- diarrhea, schistosomiasis, or trachoma, or infestation with ascaris, guinea worm, or hookworm -- associated with poor drinking water and inadequate sanitation. About 5 million people die each year from poor drinking water, poor sanitation, or a dirty home environment -- often resulting from water shortage
  • 7. A Rs 600-crore tanker industry is capitalising on Chennai’s acute water scarcity. Over 13,000 tankers are mining the surrounding farmlands for water. With agriculture in crisis and groundwater levels insufficient for farming, farmers find it easier to live off the money they earn from private water operators Severe water shortages are routine in Chennai every summer. The average person knows he’s got to sweat it out in the baking sun, waiting in an endless queue for water.   The Tamil Nadu government has no answer; it is busy ‘stealing’ water from its farmers to quench the thirst of Chennai’s population Water shortages are met by lifting water from neighbouring rural areas. Chennai Metrowater says the Upper Veeranam Project, meant to bring drinking water to Chennai, will result in savings of Rs 500 crore every year. Right now, however, water continues to be ‘stolen’ from rural areas around Chennai, destroying valuable farmland and creating a shortage in itself.
  • 8. In 2006, the various sources of water supply to Chennai included:  # Tanks and bore wells operated by Chennai Metro water: 120 million liters  # Water recycling units: 3 million liters • # Private water tankers: 50 million liters # Housing board wells/bore wells: 400 million liters # Canal/sewage water recycling: 50 million litres

God made this world as a beautiful place when it was given to us and it is our responsibility to live up to it. Like little drops of water make an ocean ,if everyone of us tries to put in a little effort ,we can make this world a much HAPPIER place to live in………….. U CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE !!
