- Positives for building Kielder outweighed the negatives
- 1/4 million visitors each year = economic benefit
- HEP plant generates enough energy for 4000 homes
- Jobs were made available during the build
- An eco village nearby is powered by waste chips from the forestry process
- Disadvantage
- People were made to leave their homes
- Relatively few people had to leave homes though...
- Expensive initially
- Picturesque landscape destroyed
- People were made to leave their homes
- Many leisure activities such as horse riding and walking have been provided
- Why is water demand increasing?
- Individuals are using more water daily. Population increase means more people are using water as well.
- Population increase also means greater demand for things like meat which requires huge amounts of water
- South East=more affluent=can afford more water=use more water
- Water Stress= amount of available water does not meet the amount required
- Areas of deficit= places where rain fall does not provide enough water on a permanent basis
- Areas of surplus= areas than have more water than is needed (often have a small population)
- Sustainable= water supplies long term that don't harm environment
- Conservation= thoughtful use of resources
