The student will discuss envirmonetal issues across Southwest Asia(Middle East)
a. Explain how water pollution and the unequal distribution of water impacts irrigation and drinking water.
Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies. Examples are lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwaters. Water pollution occurs when pollutants are directly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds.
pollution and unequal distribution of water impacts effect irrigation because it is very dificult to grow crops and it effects drinking water because it makes it unclean.
Water pollution effects Southwest Asia because the rivers,lakes,oceans etc are effected and are discharged into other bodies of water in the Middle East . Unequal distribution is also a problem in the Middle East because some countrres tahta are downstrean get less water than upstearm countries. Dams have to do with unequal distribution.
