8E Water


 * Starter**

Homework/review key terms quiz


 * Activities**

Your main task this lesson is to produce a PowerPoint (or Keynote presentation) on the different ways water companies source water to supply to peoples homes. The sources you should look at are:
 * Artesian wells
 * Reservoirs
 * Desalination
 * Rivers
 * Boreholes
 * Springs

For each source of water say:
 * how water can be obtained (this maybe very simple for some methods)
 * suggest advantages and disadvantages the source may have over other methods (e.g. Cost? Can the source supply a lot of water? Is it affected by pollution?)
 * where in the world the source can be used (this could also be an advantages or disadvantage)

Things to remember:
 * Your presentation should include images and pictures to help make it clearer
 * Do not put too much information on one slide (it will make it hard to read)
 * Put information in your own words, don't just copy and paste
 * Quote your sources - your last slide should say where you got the information from
 * Don't forget your textbook - you'll find some good information to help with some of the sources


 * Summary**

Discuss the findings? Which source do you prefer and why?
