underground rock formation that holds water

Which of the following statements helps to explain why fresh water is a limited resource?

most of the Earths water is salt water and is not liquid usable by humans.

most of the Earths water is salt water

About 71 percent of Earths surface is covered by water

most Earths fresh water is not liquid water usable by humans

Surface water becomes groundwater when it

percolates into the recharge zone

condenses to form drops of liquid water

flows onto the ground through a spring

Which of the following would be the best way for a desert farmer to reduce water loss from evaporation and seepage and thus conserve water?

install a drip irrigation system

recycle cooling water and wastewater

Point-source pollution and nonpoint-source pollution differ in

the number of sources from which the pollution is discharged

the kind of biological agents causing the pollution

whether the source of pollution is agricultural or industrial

whether the pollutants are chemical or physical agents

One reason polluted groundwater pollution is difficult to clean is that

pollutants cling to the materials that make up aquifers

the location of underground storage tanks is not always known

runoff contaminates the water supply

Which Act strengthened the laws against dumping waste in U.S. waters?

Clean water act and sanctuaries act

Most of the oil that pollutes the ocean comes from

operating boats and personal watercraft

leaking underground storage facillities

The three major global uses of fresh water are

residential, agricultural, and industrial uses

manufacturing goods, wastewater disposal, and irrigation

drinking, bathing, and growing crops

drinking, manufacturing goods, and generating power.

What is the purpose of adding alum to water during the water treatment process?

to form flocs that bacteria and other impurities will cling to

to filter and remove large organisms and trash

How is fresh water used in industry?

in the disposal of waste products

Many areas of the world that do not have adequate fresh water have become habitable because

water management projects have diverted water to the areas

icebergs have been towed in to provide fresh water

people have practiced water conservation

Which of the following is one way that a person can conserve water?

use a low flow shower head and take short showers

take a bath instead of a shower

wash laundry in small, partial loads

water the lawn daily land at mid day

Which of the following is a source of point-pollution?

percipitation containing air pollution

Polluted groundwater is difficult to clean up because

groundwater is deep in the ground and dispersed through large areas of rock

pollutants cling to the materials that make up the aquifer and contaminate the clean water

the recycling process of groundwater can take hundreds or thousands of years
