Key Facts
• The primary use for fresh water in U.S. is for agriculture.
• In our homes, we use the most fresh water to wash, clean, and flush.
• The typical person in an industrialized nation uses 700-1000 gallons per week!

Mono Lake
• Excellent example of human interference with the water supply.
• The water in the lake was diverted from the lake to the city of Los Angeles. It became a salt bed.
• ↑ Salt concentration due to evaporation

Agriculture
• Green Revolution- the introduction of high-yield grains to agriculture.
• High yield varieties are not ideal for subsistence farming because they need pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
• Sustainable- Crop rotation, variety of crops, animal wastes for fertilizer.
• The best, most effective way to solve world hunger is to help people provide for themselves.

Water Quality tests
• Nitrates
• pH
• Phosphates
• What do they tell you about your water?
