explaining the importance of water quality to the liveability of places, now and into the future

Elaboration (1) ACHGS048

collecting geographical information from secondary sources (for example, thematic maps, weather maps, climate graphs, compound column graphs and population pyramids, reports, census data and the media)

Elaboration (1) ACHGK040

discussing the advantages and disadvantages of strategies to overcome water scarcity (for example, recycling (‘grey water’), stormwater harvesting and re-use, desalination, inter-regional transfer of water and trade in virtual water, and reducing water …

Elaboration (1) ACHGK047

developing a specific proposal to improve an aspect of the liveability of their place, taking into account the needs of diverse groups in the community, including young people (for example, through fieldwork in the local recreation area) or traditional …

developing a map to show the spatial distribution of measures of the liveability of their own place, or a selected hydrological hazard in Australia and another region of the world

Elaboration (1) ACHGS051

using graphs, weather maps and satellite images to examine the temporal and spatial patterns of a selected hydrological hazard in Australia and another region of the world (for example, countries of the Asia region or of the Pacific region)

using the concept of the water balance to compare the effects of rainfall, run-off and evaporation on the availability of water in Australia and other continents

Elaboration (2) ACHGK040

examining why water is a difficult resource to manage and sustain (for example, because of its shared and competing uses and variability of supply over time and space)
