Awareness of Hydrography Courses Students on Protection of Freshwater Resources
Abstract
Freshwater, which is present on land, is covered in Hydrography issues within the field of Geography. Hydrography course helps students to understand and interpret the mechanism, importance, distribution, relationship with other earth systems and living life. Knowing the formation, properties and importance of freshwater waters is an important step towards their conscious use and preservation. The importance of freshwater resources, which have been affected by climate changes or climatic irregularities and which have dwindled as a result of the misuse of humans, is increasing day by day. Failed to reach a significant portion of the world’s population with clean fresh water, hydroelectric power plants and dams negative impacts on the ecosystem of waste due to contaminated water, biodiversity could not be protected, drought-bound migrations, and wrong water use in agriculture, flood and water damage issues such as waste, water, depending on is one of the major problems facing our world today. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the awareness of the students taking Hydrography courses on the conservation of freshwater resources. To this end, it is designed with the method of qualitative research and as descriptive work. The working group consists of 40 students who take Hydrography courses at Karabük University Faculty of Letters Department of Geography. The participants were selected from Geography Department students whose knowledge of Hydrography course was fresh. The data was collected through an open-ended questionnaire and the findings were analysed descriptive. According to the findings of the study, the students stated that the distribution of freshwater on the Earth is not stable and adequate, the species in the water is damaged, future investments in water should be planned in advance, waste should be returned to the economy by recycling instead of pouring into streams and lakes. As a result of the study, it was found that students were aware of problems with freshwater, but believed that their ability to do so individually was limited, and generally expected the solution from the state. According to these results, it may be suggested that it would be beneficial for students to be encouraged to participate in social work practices, Non-Governmental Organizations and projects in which they can take an active role.
