i. Water- Water is of the utmost importance and essential to the survival of everyone. It is the number one priority as one can die after a few days of not drinking water. I would assign 450 people working in groups of 3 to scout the island for all possible freshwater sources. In each group, there will be at least one person aged 18+ because they will most likely have the necessary education to better find freshwater sources. The other two people will be 12-50 as they will have the necessary energy go on the expedition to find the water. If no freshwater sources are found by the first day, I will devote 750 people to the task of scouting for freshwater sources and 150 people (15+) working in groups of 2 exploring other creative ways to produce water (distillation, rainwater, groundwater etc.) until we have a stable source of hydration (enough for each person to drink 1.25litres of water a day). ii. Food- Food is the next basic necessity as it provides essential nutrients for the body to function. It is also important to get a stable food source as soon as possible. This will also allow for people to have more energy in order to do tasks more efficiently. I would set up 5-15 stations scattered across the island with five 18+people in each station including one person who can identify foods that are edible and one person who excels in math and logic. I would then have 450 people working in groups of 3 to scout out the food. In each group, there will be one person that is 18+
If I were to create an Enactus team the social problem that my team would most likely address would be the water scarcity in many countries around the world. We in Canada do not see much of these problem first hand; however, in other countries this is a much larger problem as there is often no clean drinking water for the local townspeople. To actually be able to fix this worldwide problem my team and I would have to proceed with much more research into the issue to obtain more knowledge on how to potentially fix it. Right now I am thinking that I would need to come up with an idea that would involve some type of machine that would cleanse and purify the water, but I am not sure as to how I would directly go about doing this. Or I could even
Water is the most precious resource to mankind. With every living substance needing water from humans, animals, and plants it is the one thing no living creature can survive without. The thought of losing or having restricted access to water is a very frightening one. Water shortages not only pose an epic threat for the obvious reason, that water is needed, to drink, but also to the lives around us. With little or no water people would have to make hard decisions such as, letting an animal dehydrate so they can have enough water for their families to survive or who they should ration the water to and how much to ration to save as many people as possible. California has been experiencing a very severe drought that has cost California millions of dollars in agriculture and manufacturing due to low water. Though their drought is not apocalyptic yet, but it could worsen and become an apocalypse that we should fear. The changes that can come from such a disaster would change the lives of everyone in society. The ways water shortages could come about is multiple ways such as, drought, poor management of water, or political issues. Water corruption is a threat to society which needs to be dealt with efficiently and immediately.
Water is essential for of life. It 's difficult for most of us to imagine that clean water is not something that can be taken for granted, we just open the tap and here it is safe, clean and fresh water. But this won 't be the case forever, in some countries, finding a reliable source of safe water is often time-consuming, in other countries they spend too much money to drink water form plastic bottles and yet we still taking it for granted and waste it even more.
Water and its properties are very essential for all living things. In fact, scientists are paying close attention to presence of liquid water on other planets in efforts to find extraterrestrial life in space. Water has properties that makes it a key role to sustain life 1. As it is a universal solvent, it acts as a medium for most biochemical reactions 2. Without water, it is impossible for a living thing to function. Zooming out, water is important in daily life as many aspects depend on water. Water is used for domestic and industrial purposes. On average, people in the United States drink 110 million gallon of water everyday 3. In total, 400 billion gallon of water is used in United states everyday 4.
Water is an important component to sustaining life. Water is used for many things. Along with sustaining homeostasis in living organisms, it is used for agriculture and hygiene practices. Without clean and fresh water, ecosystems and human life are threatened. Many people across the globe are either fighting for clean water or are using it in their everyday life. This lack of equal obtainment of water, is the number one thing effecting the world.
reduced in large numbers. As a result, the island was reduced to rambles. Humans depend on
Water, the source of life, is essential in supporting both our daily and business activities. In our daily activities, we need water to make food, to shower, to wash clothes, and to drink to maintain our body energy, etc. In business activities, we need water to operate restaurant, hotel facilities like spas and hot tubs, and to generate power, etc. Based on how much we rely on water, there needs no further emphasis on the importance of water in our lives. Yet, water, this finite resource, is getting more and more scarce due to either excessive use of water or poor awareness of water conservation. And as human develops and industrialization process speeds up, our demand for water has become greater and greater. If we do not pay attention to water conservation, the situation will get worse, which will lead to drought and affect the nature at the worse. Therefore, it is our responsibility to conserve water in our daily life, and more importantly in our business operations. According to a report conducted by United States Environmental Protection Agency, hotels and restaurants' water usage account for fifteen percent of the total water use in commercial and institutional facilities in the United States (Saving Water), so there are many opportunities to conserve water in these two sectors, and we are going to discuss what can be done and how exactly do some restaurants and hotels do to conserve water.
families or at least other people from their own villages to make sure they get enough
1. Approximately how many islands can you see in this group? There are about ten islands clustered in the main group, with a couple of other minor
Water is the mainspring of civilization. This was recognized at the dawn of civilization in Mesopotamia and Egypt. Water was conceived as the source of all things, eternal and primeval.
large amounts of food to go with them. For nearly $2000 dollars, fishing poles and crossbows or other equipment to help hunt or grow food can be provided. Each researcher will be provided with an $800 Large Canvas tent and some equipment for personal needs and cooking for about $500 each. A budget table, table 4, provides information on expenses on an individual person and for the group of four people. Research costs will be relatively low as the equipment needed for that is relatively cheap. For the research, nets to catch the birds will be needed, as well as tags to be able to identify each bird
How many of you, when you go to a restaurant and the waiter/waitress asks you what you want to drink ask for water?
There are five design areas that would easily link into this design project. The first is a low cost iron filter (Engineers Without Borders Australia, 2014). A low cost iron filter would easily integrate into our design and the benefits would be vast. The water would be safer and healthier for the people of Mayukwayukwa to drink and it would also extend the life of each system as there would be less iron in the equipment. The second linked project is hand washing (Engineers Without Borders Australia, 2014). As the water is stored in a number of tanks, this allows for easy installation of taps all around to base of the tank. These allow for easy water collection and also allow for hand washing with clean water. The third linked project is energy (Engineers Without Borders Australia, 2014). These systems can easily be converted in to clean energy providers. All that is needed is a battery pack for the solar and a generator and battery pack for the wind. The fourth linked project is health (Engineers Without Borders
Thesis statement: Fresh and clean water is vital to the very existence of the human race.
With the triple combination of Hydro, Solar and Wind, enough energy for the whole island could definitely be generated. All the stations and plants are all designed to last many decades, easily up to a whole century, before any referblishments. Our brake even is also reasonable. At the introduction of a new island or city, the island or city will always be in dept. Our island aswell. Our brake even for all of our energy generators will probably be 10-20 years. The island is easily going to last centuries, because of its ideal location. Cash will flow in, not only after brake even, but also due to excessive tourism on the island. I have decided to use the hot springs aswell. But not for energy generation, but for tourism. They serve very well for tourism and spa. All in all, my method would be an almost perfect method to keep the island intact, eco friendly, family friendly, non polluted, and beautiful. The moral, ethical, economical, social and political implications have already been discussed. No severe repercussions are to happen. The Eco-Friendly Balearic Island is officially open to the
