2. On August 8, 2013 at Crimson Hotel, Filinvest Alabang, Muntilupa City, all the Department of
International Hospitality & Tourism Management attended the annual Junior Professional
Summit 2013 with the theme of “Water is Life.”
With the guest speaker … tackled the importance and structure of water. Earth’s water supply
has had, since Earth was created, and it has major influences on Earth’s climate, its landscape
and mineralogy, the composition of its atmosphere, and on the origin and evolution of life. Water
is the most abundant compound on Earth’s surface, with a total mass of is about 300 times the
mass of the atmosphere covering about 70 percent of the planet. The vast majority of Earth’s
water is in the oceans (salt water) in smaller sizes but geologically important, quantities of fresh
water are lakes, rivers, and ground water. In nature, water exists in liquid, solid and gaseous
states. Without water, which facilitates the formation of carbonate rock, the atmospheric content
of CO2 would be higher than it is.
Water as a universal solvent, it is odorless and tasteless. Odorless thus exhibits transparency.
Water also is a chemical compound and polar molecules. If people continuous polluting water it
can cause into organ failure such as Typhoid, Cholera, Dehydration, Jaundice, Cancer and can
cause Death. Water seeps into the ground, it absorbs different substances so it can dissolved
Ionic compound like arsenic, iron, fluoride, heavy metal and sulfur. It also results into
consequences of a warmer world, pollution of a fresh water streams, dilution and biodegradation
or it pointing the aquatic organisms (degrade), breakdown of pollutants by bacteria oxygen sag-
curve.
Water pollution has two categories such as, Non-point source of pollution and Point source of
pollution. Non-point source of pollution is a contamination gathered by water over a large area,
examples are; urban streets, cropland, animal feedlot, factory, rural homes and suburban
development while Point source of pollution is a contaminant enter a water way at a discrete
point which is waste water treatment plant. So the expertise says that by the year 2020 no potable
water can safe to drink and all water supplied can no longer be free.
Another speaker named … discussed the same categories as it is the main theme of the whole
seminar. In addition to the above mention, it also tackled the Water transformations/ Processes in
the Hydrologic Cycle or Water cycle. The Evaporation from bodies of water, Transpiration from
3. plants, Condensation water vapor turns liquid, Precipitation as rain, hails or other forms,
Infiltration passes/absorb through the soil and surface run off soil eroded to the rivers and lakes.
Human are mainly contributors of water waste, man pollutes water and can killed the organism
living in the water. Thus to prevent and reduce surface water pollution it is advisable to reduce
run off, buffer zone vegetation, reduce soil erosion. In RA 9276 Clean Water Act established the
goals of eliminating releases of high amounts of toxic substances into water. The Clean Water
Act does not directly address ground water contamination. Groundwater protection provisions
are included in the Safe Drinking Water Act, Resource Conservation, and Recovery Act and the
Superfund Act. And also the Water Quality Act that preventing water pollution by requiring
states to establish and enforce water quality standards for interstate water ways, as making
substantial additions to the Clean Water Act directly offering the standards program. The law
also required states to establish minimum water quality standards for portion of interstate water
lying within their borders. Provided funds for waste water treatment demonstrate projects at the
municipal level.
Water is important for everyday routine of each individual, can give and help living things to
survive from drying. If we can’t give value to the water, this is probably not enough water to
surround the proteins and membranes in a cell and so stops metabolism and kills almost all
animals and plants. So let’s do our part! Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious
promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption
that is in the world through lust.
“Water and life are inseparable. No known living thing can function without water, and there is
life wherever there is water on Earth.”
