Water World

Atmosphere 

• Evaporation and Transpiration 
• Clouds 
• Precipitation 

Biosphere

• Captures and stores water
• Vegatation acts as a temperary storage space
• Forest acts as a flood defense  

Lithosphere 

• Rocks and soil store water 
• Aquifers
• Water flows off the ground into rivers

The Sahel reigon is locted in the northe of Africa and the widest part run from east to west.

The Sahel is a maryinal area.

The Sahel reigon countries include Mali, Chad and Niger.

There has been drought regularly since the 1980's

When the rain comes down hard the soil is unable to soak it upso there are floods.

Water Quality is getting worse due to:

• Sewage disposel
• Industrial pollution 
• Plastic bags 
• Intesive agriculture 

Water Pollution in an LEDC

• Factories 
• Developing Economy 
• Bigger pollution more sewage parts needed

Water Pollution in an MEDC

• Economys control pollution
• Governments have standards 
• In the UK pressure from NGOs and the Enviroment Agency 

The impacts on river flow:

• Earlier arrival of spring
• Melt earlier
• Reducing river flow in the summer 
• Reduced availibility of fresh water 

The impacts on evaporation:

• Evaporation rates increase 

The impacts on precipitation 

• More precipitation falling as rain
• More water vapour 
• Increase amount of precipitation 
• Increase in precipitation intensity 
• More intense storms 

MEDC Water Mangement 

• The Hoover Dam and Lake Mead Revesior, USA 

LEDC Water Manegement

• The Santo Antonio Dam , Brazil
• Handpumps 
• Intermeadiate Technologys
• Water Management Schemes
