Topic: Key Threats and Issues/Threats to GroundwaterQuestion: What can be done to reduce the potential threat of contamination of South Australian water by pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCP)? it is necessary for non-living things to survive water. About 72% of the Earth is covered in water, but 97% of this is salty, non-potable ocean water. Most of the remaining 3% is freshwater and is locked in layers of ice or glaciers or is too deep to reach. add salt to use. Therefore, only about 0.014% of the Earth's total water volume is readily available in the form of soil moisture, usable groundwater, water vapor, lakes, and streams. However, 97% of non-potable water is needed to keep both living and non-living things alive. In our daily life water plays an important role. A human alone is made up of percentages of water insects. The amount of water in the human body varies from 50 to 75%. The average adult human body is made up of 50-65% water, with the average being around 57-60%. The percentage of water in newborns is much higher, typically around 75-78%, decreasing to 65% by one year of age. Since science shows these statistics, it means that for the human race to survive and move forward, water must be present. South Australia came third in water consumption with 32% of all other states in Australia. South Australia also supports its water by experimenting with different methods to reuse and recycle water resources, such as rainwater, turning it into drinking water or, failing that, usable water. Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) are a group of chemicals from a diverse group consisting of human and veterinary me... middle of paper... that are flushed down the toilet and other human activities. What we can individually do to help our water is call our local pharmacy or know how to properly dispose of pharmaceuticals such as medicines, cleaning products, pesticides and more that could potentially harm our environment. Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) are not t has carried out extensive research in South Australian waters; however it is better to stop the potential impact on human health and the environment. South Australians are great at sustaining their water, however further improvements need to be made to water quality and quantity, such as extensive research into PPCPs to prevent potential contamination in low drinking water availability and also to raise awareness publishes about these contaminants because PPCP contamination in water is the result of human activity.
