A: Point source pollution is pollution coming from on source, but non point source pollution is many sources of pollution combined together. Some examples of point source pollution is industrial plants/factories, pulp and paper mills, automobile manufacturers, food processors Some examples of non point source pollution are poorly managed construction sites, livestock operations, pet wastes, and faulty septic systems.
 * Q: Compare point and non-point sources of pollution and give examples of each **

A: Various land uses can affect water quality because if you pour chemicals like fertilizer on your lawn, it may fall into a body of water.
 * Q:Explain how various land uses can affect water quality **

A: Avoid using the toilet as a trash can. Most tissues, wrappers, dust cloths, and other paper goods should be properly discarded in a trash can.Avoid using a garbage disposal. Keep solid wastes solid. Make a compost pile from vegetable scraps.Run the dishwasher or clothes washer only when you have a full load. This conserves electricity and water.Use the minimum amount of detergent and/or bleach when you are washing clothes or dishes.Do not dispose of these chemicals, motor oil, or other automotive fluids into the sanitary sewer or storm sewer systems. Both of them end at the river.
 * Q:Suggest practices to reduce water pollution **

A: Potential soures of water pollution in our communtity is when rain, snowmelt, or wind carry pollutants off the land and into lakes, streams, wetlands, and other water bodies, factories and industrial cites that dump into the water, and YOU.
 * Q: Identfiy potential sources of water pollution in your own community **

A: DEQ Department of Environmental Quality and Friends of the River Rouge
 * Q:Identify any local agencies that work to protect water quality in your community **

 * Questions Answers:**

A: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Ground water can get polluted through things like farming and industry. Pesticides and other things can soak through the ground and get into the ground water. Also poop from cows and other animals can also soak through the ground to the nearest water source. A: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Most water supporting programs help to restore ground water to make sure it is clean and healthy. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">This is done by: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">1. removing/containing the source of the problem <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">2. cleaning up the affected ground water <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">3. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #151515; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans',Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">containing the contamination in a limited area to keep it from harming animals and plants. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">4. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #151515; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans',Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">polluted groundwater pumped from the soil or bedrock, treated to remove the contamination, and then pumped back into the ground. A: The water that is underground is believed to exist in what scientists call a "transition zone". It is in the Earth's mantle and is 250 to 410 miles below the surface of our planet, Earth. A: Groundwater gets replenished by precipitation. It rains and/ or snows the water will seep in the ground and refill the pocket of water underground. A: Groundwater is transported through aquifers because of two main reasons: gravity and pressure. In unconfined aquifers, which we concentrate on because they are more likely to be contaminated, water always flows from high points to low points because of gravity. A: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Groundwater and surface water are essentially one resource, physically connected by the hydrologic cycle A: <span style="color: #282828; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">We should care about groundwater because eventually it will run into our watershed or an ocean. If it gets polluted and we drink it, we will get sick.
