Presenter: Omar
Presentation Topic: Water shortage
Date: 24th of May 2012
Venue: Research & Innovation Centre
Omar did a presentation about water shortage; it was as interesting subject for me, and it is important because water shortage might affect the whole world. Omar began his presentation with an effective introduction and good eye contact; he explained the causes of the water shortage; one of the most important causes is global warming which can reduce the level of water worldwide; Omar believed that human beings are the ones who pollute the water the most.
I have learned in this presentation that we should be aware of the consequences of wasting & polluting water; poor countries, such as 3rd world countries which are extremely poor, undeveloped countries, have lack of opportunities in food, & water supplies; millions of people die per year.
Water shortage is used to describe a situation where the available water within a region is less than the region’s demand, we should reduce water demand to save it for tomorrow, and Omar suggested that governments should set clear rules that help countries to avoid drought & poverty.
In conclusion, Omar presented his work properly and in order, he spoke with good English and appropriate grammar used, but he was reluctant when Hedley asked him what APEDA products are. Hedley asked Omar which country has most demand on water per person, Omar answered the United Arab Emirates.
