 * =Human activity affects water quality.=
 * =Pollutants directly emptied into the water system can be generated by factories, sewage, abattoirs and so on.=
 * =Chemicals and other run-off can enter the water system in indirect ways.=
 * =Cleared land and overgrazed land will allow sediment to wash into waterways.=
 * =Recreation, dams and transport affect water quality.=

__**What do we use land for?**__ //-// Building houses, Transport (roads), planting things ( farms), Parks, Sports and Learning Agriculture: ** Agriculture is the production of crops, livestock and poultry. ** **- Crops, Horticulture,Viticulture,Livestock,Diary,Fisheries,Wool and Cotton** __**Urbanisation:**__ Urbanisation is a social process whereby cities grow and societies become more urban. //Australia is an extremely urbanised country. Many people live in different locations in all parts of Australia. Urbanisation is when many people living in a country. // //- Australia, China and other countries are urbanised.// ===**Forestry:** Forestry is a process of establishing and managing the science of taking care of plants, trees and the forest. ===

** Rain-forests, Eucalypt forests and other plants are one of the parts of nature in forestry. **
=** Mining: **=

Base metals, precious metals, iron, uranium, coal, diamonds, limestone, oil shale, rock salt and potash have been recovered through mining.
= So humans use land. What about waterways?: =

The effects that these uses have on waterways are that people can throw rubbish into the water causing pollution, or the fuels, (MDO or HFO) __may__ also pollute the water.
= Conveying people: =

Other ways are when they spit or pour other liquids into the water, it may spread into the ocean.
We can reduce the impact on the waterways by not litterin g, using eco-friendly fuel, and more.

//Land Use is the human use of land.//

//EG: Modify natural environment, built things, mining & agriculture, pollution, making settlements.//

//URBANISATION = houses, hotels and shopping centres//

//AGRICULTURE = farms, observatories, barns and shearing sheds//

//FORESTRY = is when trees and plants are burnt down to make room for new developements to start taking place//

//MINING = is when there are gigantic holes dug in the ground and costruction started to find things under the ground//

//<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;">ways that humans use the waterways. //

//<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;">people use the water ways when they are on a boat a jet ski and many other ways we also use water to drink so we can stay alive //

//<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">and live a helthy life.Animals also need water some need it to swim in and some need it to drink like humans.some efects that a boat could have is oil spils and catching fish.some times water is wasted when you have a shower for to long or when you wet your self down on a hot day.Boats are the main things that cause disasters like titanic oil spils and catching ilegall fish this is why many fish die and many waters go black and that is one of my main concerns //.
