PM 228 Lecture 1

This document discusses integrated water management and properties of water. It covers different types of water bodies like oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, streams, and glaciers. It then explains several key properties of water molecules and how they behave, including being polar, cohesion, adhesion, surface tension, capillary action, and having a high specific heat. The document also discusses chemical properties of water and factors that affect water quality like heavy metals, temperature, turbidity, light, and stream flow components. The overall aim is to familiarize readers with water properties and how they relate to water management.

PROPERTIES OF
WATER
WATER MOLECULE
- composed of two (2)
hydrogen atoms and (1)
oxygen atom;
PROPERTIES OF
WATER
1) WATER IS POLAR

- with partial
positive charges
on the Hydrogens
and partial
negative charges
on the oxygen
- Forms hydrogen
bonds
PROPERTIES OF
WATER

2) COHESION

- Tendency of water to
form weak bonds and
stick to each other;

- Attraction between
molecules of the same
substance
SURFACE TENSION

- The tightness across the surface


of water that is caused by polar
molecules pulling on each other
PROPERTIES OF
WATER

3) ADHESION

- Tendency of water
to stick to other
substances
PROPERTIES OF WATER 4) CAPILLARY ACTION

- The movement of water


within the spaces of a porous
material due to the forces of
adhesion, cohesion and
surface tension.
PROPERTIES OF WATER

5) UNIVERSAL SOLVENT

- Water dissolves more


substances than any
other known substance
PROPERTIES OF WATER

6) SPECIFIC HEAT

- The amount of heat


needed to increase the
temperature of 1kg of
substance by 1°C.

- Water requires a lot of heat


to increase its temperature
PROPERTIES OF WATER

Unit of specific heat:

Joule per kilogram per


degree Celsius
J/kg · °C
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF WATER
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF WATER
HEAVY METALS IN WATER
ARSENIC CADMIUM

CHROMIUM COPPER
LEAD

MERCURY SELENIUM
WATER TEMPERATURE
- Degree or intensity of
thermal energy in water
TURBIDITY
- measure of how much
suspended material is in the water
and indicates water quality
LIGHT
STREAM FLOW
(Discharge)
- the amount of water that flows past
a specific point in a stream over a
specific period of time

Components of streamflow:
1) Velocity
2) Volume
