13C work for week commencing Feb 6th

Miss Hosegood's work - please complete for the first Tuesday back after half term.

Lesson 11. Find a recent map showing global physical and economic scarcity. You will probably be able to find both pieces of information on the same map. Print off a copy for your folders.

2. Define the terms 'physical water scarcity' and 'economic water scarcity' in your notes.

3. Describe the pattern of global physical and economic water scarcity using your map.

4. Go onto this link http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3754520.stm and pick out three locations. Using the information on this webpage plus other research explain the why water has become an issue. A range of bullet points is fine for each location.

Lesson 2 & 3
1. Title: Water poverty and the Year of Sanitation

2. Find a map showing the global pattern for the Water Poverty Index. Find out how the Water Poverty Index is measured and using page 42 in your textbook or your own research list the main causes of water poverty.

3. The United Nations has included solving water poverty in the Millenium Development Goals. Go on to this link http://esa.un.org/iys/IYSaction.shtml and using the menu down the left hand side find out the economic,social and environmental benefits of improved water quality/ supplies and how the UN is helping communities around the world to achieve this (click on link IYS in action on the left hand menu).
