History

This article is about general aspects of water. For a detailed discussion of its properties, see Properties of water. For other uses, see Water (disambiguation).

Water in three states: liquid, solid (ice), and (invisible) water vapor in the air. Clouds are accumulations of water droplets, condensed from vapor-saturated air.Water is a chemical substance with the chemical formula H2O. A water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at ambient conditions, but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state, ice, and gaseous state (water vapor or steam). Water also exists in a liquid crystal state near hydrophilic surfaces.[1][2] Under nomenclature used to name chemical compounds, Dihydrogen monoxide is the scientific name for water, though it is almost never used.[3]

Water covers 70.9% of the Earth's surface,[4] and is vital for all known forms of life.[5] On Earth, 96.5% of the planet's water is found mostly in oceans; 1.7% in groundwater; 1.7% in glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland; a small fraction in other large water bodies, and 0.001% in the air as vapor, clouds (formed of solid and liquid water particles suspended in air), and precipitation.[6][7] Only 2.5% of the Earth's water is freshwater, and 98.8% of that water is in ice and groundwater. Less than 0.3% of all freshwater is in rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere, and an even smaller amount of the Earth's freshwater (0.003%) is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products.[6]

Water on Earth moves continually through the hydrological cycle of evaporation and transpiration (evapotranspiration), condensation, precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea. Evaporation and transpiration contribute to the precipitation over land.

Safe drinking water is essential to humans and other lifeforms. Access to safe drinking water has improved over the last decades in almost every part of the world, but approximately one billion people still lack access to safe water and over 2.5 billion lack access to adequate sanitation.[8] There is a clear correlation between access to safe water and GDP per capita.[9] However, some observers have estimated that by 2025 more than half of the world population will be facing water-based vulnerability.[10] A recent report (November 2009) suggests that by 2030, in some developing regions of the world, water demand will exceed supply by 50%.[11] Water plays an important role in the world economy, as it functions as a solvent for a wide variety of chemical substances and facilitates industrial cooling and transportation. Approximately 70% of the fresh water used by humans goes to agriculture.[12]

Academic program

PATTS course offerings are recognized by the Commission of Higher Education (CHED) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) certifies that PATTS is a Aircraft Maintenance School, rated for Airframe and Power plant. Aircraft frames and powerplants are available for PATTS students to work on, dismantle, and assemble in the laboratories under the direct supervision of duly licensed personnel. PATTS graduates are required to undergo On-the-Job training with aviation companies which include Philippine Airlines, Air Philippines, Cebu Pacific, Philippine Aeroscope Development Corporation and the Philippine Air Force. This training prepares graduates of PATTS for integration into the industry. PATTS takes pride that a good number of their graduates have already passed the required examinations with the Aeronautical Engineering Licensure Examination, Air Transportation Office and the Radio Licensure Examination.

College seal

Emblazoned in the middle of the PATTS corporate crest or college emblem is a figure that elicits more than a passing interest from people. The image of a seahorse is etched clearly and faultlessly. To this figure, questions abound. What has a seahorse to do with an aeronautical institution, and a creature seemingly in flight? The answer is in a founders dream of PATTS that is now translated into a legend of what hard work, dedicated instructors and visionary management can do, all with cutting-edge knowledge in technology that has brought them to success all over the world. The seahorse has wings but cannot fly. Students who enroll at PATTS may have the potential wings but cannot use them. They are trained to harness their potential; when they graduate they are winged to fly and search for their future in the skies.

PATTS founder Atty. and Engr. Ambrosio R. Valdez, Sr. had a vision of the future premised on achievement. “If we can make a seahorse fly, there is no reason why we cannot make anyone or anything else fly.”
