AQA GCSE Geography - Resource Management
Questions with Final Correct Answers
'Grey' water ✔️✔️Wastewater from people's homes that can be recycled and put to good use.
Uses include water for laundry and toilet flushing. Treated greywater can also be used to
irrigate both food and non-food producing plants. The nutrients in the greywater(such as
phosphorus and nitrogen) provide an excellent food source for these plants.
Groundwater management ✔️✔️Regulation and control of water levels, pollution, ownership
and use of groundwater.
Over-abstraction ✔️✔️When water is being used more quickly that it is being replaced.
Sustainable development ✔️✔️Development that meets the needs of the present without
limiting the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Sustainable water supply ✔️✔️Meeting the present-day need for safe, reliable, and affordable
water, which minimises adverse effects on the environment, whilst enabling future generations
to meet their requirements.
Waterborne diseases ✔️✔️Diseases caused by microorganisms that are transmitted in
contaminated water. Infection commonly results during bathing, washing, drinking, in the
preparation of food, or the consumption of infected food. eg cholera, typhoid, botulism.
Water conflict ✔️✔️Disputes between different regions or countries about the distribution and
use of freshwater. Conflicts arise from the gap between growing demands and diminishing
supplies.
Water conservation ✔️✔️The preservation, control and development of water resources, both
surface and groundwater, and prevention of pollution.
