OUR WATER RESOURCES

Water Resources Are Natural Resources Of Water That Are

Potentially Useful As A Source Of Water Supply. 97% Of The
Water On The Earth Is Salt Water And Only Three Percent Is Fresh
Water; Slightly Over Two Thirds Of This Is Frozen In Glaciers And
Polar Ice Caps.
LAKE
• A lake (from Latin lacus) is a large body of water (larger and
deeper than a pond) within a body of land. As a lake is
separated from the ocean, it is not a sea. Some lakes are very
big, and people in the past sometimes called them seas.
Lakes do not flow like rivers, but many have rivers flowing
into and out of them.
RIVERS
• A river is a stream of water that flows through a channel in
the surface of the ground. The passage where the river flows
is called the river bed and the earth on each side is called a
river bank.
PONDS
• A pond is a body of water smaller
than a lake. Ponds support wide
range of wildlife: ducks, turtles,
swans, small fish, and frogs can live
in a pond. Usually, in most ponds
sunlight can reach to bottom. In
some cases ponds do not last all year
round.
 SEAS
• The sea, connected as the world ocean or simply
the ocean, is the body of salty water that covers
approximately 71 percent of the Earth's surface. The
word sea is also used to denote second –order
sections of the sea, such as the Mediterranean sea, as
well as certain large, entirely landlocked, Salt water,
such as the Caspian sea.
 OCEANS
• An ocean is a large area of water between
continents. Oceans are very big and they join
smaller seas together. Oceans (or marine
biomes) cover 72% of Earth. There are five main
oceans: the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean,
the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean, and the
Arctic Ocean
