-Lakes

-Rivers

-Oceans

-Ponds

What forms are water stored on earth

How does water move from one place to another
 * gas
 * liquid
 * solids
 * the water cycle

Transfer processes in the water cycle


 * evaporation
 * condensation
 * precipitation
 * infilatration
 * transporation
 * sublimation

How much water is available for human comsumption

There is about 0.61% of water available for human consumption. About 97.25% is salt water, that means there is only about 2.75% of freshwater. Sadly, about 60% of that is locked up in icecaps and glaciers. that leaves about 0.61% of freshawater people can drink. Did you know that 1/5 of that is from the great lakes. Half of the great lakes are Lake Superior alone.

Distrubution of water


 * Oceans= 97.25% of all water on earth
 * Icecaps and Glaciers=2.14% of all water on earth
 * Groundwater= 0.61% of all water on earth
 * Lakes= 0.1 of all water on earth
 * Atmosphere= 0.02 of all water on earth
 * Rivers= 0.002 of all water on earth



Watersheds are important because a watershed is an area of land that drains rain water or snow into one location such as a stream, lake or wetland. So, if we did not have them, streets might flood.

Mission 6: Groundwater recharge 100 what is. Groundwater recharge it is water above ground that flow underground

recharge 300 why is groundwater recharge good? nam it can overrun contaminated groundwater and make a greater groundwater supply

recharge 200 name two ways groundwater is recharged precipitation (rain,snow,sleet,hail,etc) springs

recharge bonus what are the other two nicknames for groundwater recharge deep percolation Deep Drainage

pollution 200 name 5 examples of ways to contaminate groundwater Storage tank septic tank abandoned hazardous waste landfills Road salt (if you say something like one of those examples, you are most likely right)

pollution Bonus how do landfills pollute groundwater? How can you prevent that? When landfills start breaking down over time when they are abandoned, extra chemichals will seep into the groundwater supply. You can prevent that by buying a special kind of cement that doesn't let anything seep through. Also, don't abandon landfills

pollution 100 Why shouldn't people pollute water? Groundwater is very important. People use this as much if not more then lakes and rivers. If people pollute it, we can only rely on lakes and rivers aboveground.

pollution 300 how does contamination get into the groundwater? It can get there the same way water gets in. pollution 400 DAILY DOUBLE!!!!! animal waste pollute groundwater? yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cleaning 100 why is it important to clean the groundwater more groundwater to use for everyday use

Cleaning 200 name three ways to clean groundwater pump it out with a well Add bacteria to the groundwaters If it is really bad, dig it out

Cleaning 300 How does cleaning groundwater save humans? Lots of freshwater is stored in the ground. Lots of humans rely on that. Since we are cleaning it up, people can use more of it.

Cleaning DAILY DOUBLE!!! How does industry affect groundwater. What can they do to clean up their messes?

They pour industrial waste into water which can seep down into the ground. They could spend money to have clean up projects to clean up.

Cleaning bonus Name one way to spread the word about reducing the contamination of groundwater in you area or help cleaning it out Putting up signs in your neighborhood

Importance 100 What is the importance of groundwater Groundwater is very important. It is used for everyday use.

Importance 400 name ten ways people use groundwater toilets showers washing machines sinks dishwasher drinks baths car washes sprinkler systems driveway washing (it sounds weird, but some people do it!)

Importance 300 how do people get the water up from the ground. Springs Wells

Importance 200 how often do people use groundwater people use it everyday.

Importance bonus If there was no groundwater, what would life probably be like? There would probably be strike water conservation rules, like a certain amount of drinks a day or you can only water your plants on certain days. Water would also probably be a lot more expensive.
