Why it matters
This objective helps connect Water (optional route) to exam-style questions, flashcards, and revision notes for Section C: The challenge of resource management.
Quick student answer
What should a geography response explain about strategies to increase water supply including diverting supplies, increasing storage, dams, reservoirs, water transfers and desalination?
Direct answer
For Geography, this page helps you revise strategies to increase water supply including diverting supplies, increasing storage, dams, reservoirs, water transfers and desalination in Section C: The challenge of resource management. Focus on the key terms, the exam command, and a clear answer that matches the question. Key terms to check are Desalination and Water Transfer.
Key terms
- Desalination: In Water (optional route), Desalination means a process that removes salt and minerals from seawater to produce fresh water. This matters in Section C: The challenge of resource management because it supports the learning objective to explain strategies to increase water supply including diverting supplies, increasing storage, dams, reservoirs, water transfers and desalination. Use Desalination only in this subtopic-relevant sense so the definition stays concise, evidence-aware, and useful for AQA GCSE Geography 8035 revision.
- Water Transfer: The movement of water from one area to another to manage water supply and address deficits.
Common trap
Misunderstanding Desalination: Emphasize that desalination involves removing salt from seawater to make it drinkable, while water recycling involves treating wastewater for reuse.
