Water Technologies By Scott Hawkins

Water used in vehicles: In vehicles water is used for a few different things. One of these things is engine cooling, radiators run water around the motor of some vehicles to cool the engine and stop it overheating. The water is cooled by a fan as it heats up with the motor eventually. Another way water is used in some motor vehicles is window wipers, the fluid that is sprayed onto the windscreen is water based and cleans the screen.
Recreational uses:  Water is used very commonly over summer months for recreational used and just as commonly over winter months. Over summer it is used widely for boating and other water sports including wakeboarding, skiing, Knee boarding and many others. Over the winter months water is used a lot too! The only difference is it is used in a solid form instead of a liquid, in other words it is frozen. When lakes are frozen over they are ice skating rinks, when rain freezes into snow it is skied and snowboarded on.

Power harnessing through hydro:  With the modern technologies these days there are many ways that hydro is turned into power but one of the main ways is through dams. The water is built up behind a big wall and is slowly let through, running turbines as it goes past, creating power!! Although this method of power producing is some of the most commonly used, it is one of the more difficult and expensive to manufacture and make in the first place.
