Water is a fundamental need to society. Growing demand and diminishing supply indicates a global deficit, creating conflict. However, it is actually the distribution of water which causes these problems. The gap between those with and without enough water to meet their demands can be illustrated through the development gap.
Types of Flow
- Flows - movement of water from one place to another
- Blue Water Flows - visible part of the H.C. - surface flows and then recharging aquifers
- Green Water Flows - water intercepted, stored and released by vegetation through evaporation and transpiration
- Grey Flows - polluted water
- Groundwater Flow - movement of water underground if not absorbed by rocks
Trends in water demand and supply make the future insecure and uncertain.
