and spaces in soil, sand and rock. It is stored in and moves slowly 3. What are the 3 states of water?
through geologic formations of soil, sand and rocks called aquifers. solid, liquid, gas

standing water that occupies an inland basin of appreciable size.

surface for at least part of the year. parts of our landscape that are
defined by the presence of water. 5. What are the 4 sources of water generation of lakes

13.any of the entire range of natural waters that
occur on the Earth, regardless of their state (i.e., vapor, liquid, or
solid) and that are of potential use to Humans.
water pollution 14 is the contamination of water sources by 6. What are 5 vital roles that wetland and soil moisture play?
substances which make the water unusable for drinking, erosion protection
cooking,cleaning, swimming flood reduction
ground water replenishment
pollutants 15. include chemicals,trash, bacteria, and
water purification

parasites.
point source pollution
16. contaminants that enter a waterway through a
discrete conveyance. Usually monitored and regulated
non point source pollution
17. diffuse contamination that does not originate
7. 6 off-stream uses

more efficient these processes are, the cleaner the water becomes. mining

green agriculture
19. Globally, agriculture accounts for 70% of water
resources, so it is essential to have climate-friendly crops, efficient
irrigation that reduces the need for water and energy-efficient food
production

Agency (EPA). It is important to avoid pollutants from contaminating
the water and helps to use water more efficiently
air pollution prevention
21.has a direct impact on water contamination as
25% of human induced CO2 emissions are absorbed by oceans. This
pollution causes a rapid acidification of our oceans, and threatens 9. 6 sources of surface water

water conservation stored rain water
23. Without water conservation, we won’t go very
far. It is central in making sure the world has better access to clean
water. It means being aware that water is a scarce resource, taking
care of it accordingly,and managing it responsibly
