Find out why water is essential for life on Earth with our Water Conservation 3-book BUNDLE. Start by examining the water we drink with Fresh Water Resources. Build a greenhouse to see firsthand how climate change can affect fresh water. Describe how the water supply in a village could become unfit for drinking in a scenario. Next, see how climate change affects the oceans we fish with Ocean Water Resources. See how the water cycle explains why most of Earth's salt water is found in the oceans. Make your own salt water to represent Earth's oceans and experience what it would be like to visit them. Finally, visit the lakes and streams we enjoy with Waterway Habitat Resources. Become an ecologist and list factors in an aquatic ecosystem as biotic or abiotic. Find out why some aquatic organisms have a hard time adapting to climate change. Each concept is paired with hands-on activities. Written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional graphic organizers, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.
Students learn the importance of fresh water and how to conserve this valuable resource. Our resource focuses your attention on protecting and respecting our fresh water. Start by understanding what fresh water is by building a water cycle. Find out how fresh water compares in the bigger picture of Earth's water. Build a greenhouse to see firsthand how climate change can affect fresh water. Take what you know about where to find fresh water, and see how that could all change with climate change. Describe how the water supply in a village could become unfit for drinking in a scenario. Understand that people in other countries don't have access to fresh water like we do. Build a drip irrigation system to help conserve water while gardening. Written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional hands-on activities, graphic organizers, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.
Empower students with the knowledge and skills necessary to make meaningful changes in the world This Environmental ACTION (Analyze, Consider, Take Action In Our Neighborhoods) Series was developed in response to the need for environmental education materials that emphasize personal responsibility and positive action. Reading Level: 6-7 Interest Level: 6-12
This book provides a knowledge base of the existing indigenous and local water knowledge, values, and practices, and how this water knowledge can be mainstreamed into the decision-making process. The book not only demonstrates the perks of using indigenous knowledge but also illustrates the barriers and gaps that should be considered while planning for mainstreaming traditional knowledge and values at a local scale. The chapters incorporate case studies from various parts of the world demonstrating how indigenous, and religious and cultural values of water have translated into water use and conservation behavior among indigenous people ensuring resource sustainability over a long period of time. There has been global attention towards combining indigenous and local knowledge with new information and innovation to attain future water security. In this regard, this book is timely, relevant, and significant as it is the first attempt, as per the best of our knowledge, to publish a book that solely addresses indigenous and local knowledge, values, and practices regarding water management, quality monitoring, use, and conservation. With increasing emphasis on the inclusion of indigenous and local knowledge into natural resource governance and conservation by international agencies like the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), the proposed book will significantly contribute to the existing knowledge base and demonstrate the importance of mainstreaming indigenous water knowledge and practices into water governance and decision making. The UN SDGs, recognizing the significance of indigenous knowledge systems, emphasized its inclusion in most aspects and principles of SDGs. Apart from direct links with SDGs like zero hunger (SDG 2), no poverty (SDG 1), and climate action (SDG 13), indigenous and local knowledge system is considered to be directly connected to clean water and sanitation (SDG 6). The book will be useful to researchers and students in the field of indigenous knowledge and education, water governance, community-level planning, and water sustainability. The book can be referred to for postgraduate courses and beyond, as well as policymakers, conservationists, non-governmental organizations, development practitioners, and local government officials.
