Solutions for the Water Deficit

Solutions for the Water DeficitGround peeingTakatufProblemLack of groundwater system become a extended problem these days. Groundwater is important and useful many countries are depending on groundwater to supply clear, reliable water to the citizen. present in Oman we have the same problem and it mostly exists in Al-Batinah coast where I live. You can enforce this type of water in many other areas such as farming, domestic and industrial. We must happen upon events to these problems, to eliminate the deficit in the aquifer be motion this problem has many negative effects. These effects are a drop-off in the level of the earths surface and well-nigh dry wells because groundwater descent into the deep, forcing farmers often to deepen the pumps to murder the water but, this solution will court them a lot. Drought pumps may cause dry conditions in some agricultural regions because they use pumps to provide water for their farms. Some citizen are scathe from drought because th ey depended on these wells to provide clear water for them to drink it, but, few of those citizen impacted by maxing of sea saltiness water fresh groundwater which Change water quality to become undrinkable and this cause shortage of brush insobriety water.In these areas like Al-Batinah people are also facing a shortage of drinking water. This issue exist in Oman before to a greater extent than 30 years since the population rose. Farmers are more shamed by this issue because they depend mostly on the ground water for agriculture. Citizens are suffering too because it is the main source of clean water which they drink. One of the causes of this problem is brine aggression, saltwater intrusion is the movement of seawater into aquifers and salt water mixing with ground water, which can contribute to ground water pollution and other consequences (Wikipedia, 2014). We are facing this problem in Al-Batinah and Salalah coasts, a huge quantity of saltwater intrusion into the aquifers that contaminates clean water.The second cause is water deficit in Al-Batinah coast which is about 350 gazillion cubic meters per year because sea water goes through groundwater layers and this causes groundwater pollution. Rising population is another major cause for this issue, when the population increases the proportion of water consumption increases. The fourth reason of the shortage is lack of rainfall and this affect negatively on the terminal of groundwater because rain is the first source of the groundwater the rain Nourishes the water storage.SolutionsMany countries started to straighten out this issue, for example, United Arab Emirates launched the project tarnish- spilling for artificial rain and here is the meaning of cloud seeding,Cloud seeding, a do of weather modification, is the attempt to change the amount or type of precipitation that falls from clouds, by dispersing substances into the crinkle that serve as cloud condensation or ice nuclei, which alter the microphysical processes within the cloud. (Wikipedia, 2014).They do some research about the clouds for the operation then they send special airplane for this mission, they target clouds then they seed them, this operation has some consequences if they used it constantly due to the accumulation of silver iodide in the air, which is toxic. This operation cost around 11 million dollars.In Australia and some cities in United States of America they used Aquifer warehousing and recuperation Systems. Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) is the re-injection of potable water back into an aquifer for later recovery and use. ASR has been done for municipal, attention and agriculture use (Wikipedia, 2014). They dig many wells close to dams and they treat rainwater sea water and after that they inject the water to Tertiary aquifers to store it there to use it any time they hold it this plan was a huge success in Australia and USA and now they want to expand this project. In Egypt they used a s trategy,Integrated water resources management (IWRM) which has been defined by the Global Water coalition (GWP) as a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources, in piece to maximize the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of lively ecosystems. (Wikipedia, 2014).Concluding StatementIt is hard to choice one of them but, in my view ASR system is the best solution for the country because ASR unlike cloud-seeding it does not have any consequences it has many benefits. In Al-Batinah we are suffering from floods when the thresh rain therefore, it is better to stop the floods by pumping the water to the ground to recharge the groundwater by this solution we do not waste any drop and we stop floods and at the same time we store groundwater.ReferencesAquifer storage and recovery.
