Water is the single most important substance on the planet; without it‚ life could not exist. It’s as necessary for humans as oxygen.

Title Impact of water jet Objective The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the application of the momentum equation. The force generated by a jet of water deflected by an impact surface is measured and compared to the momentum change of the jet. To relate: • Direct measurement of impact forces • Effect of flow rate and velocity • Effect of various deflection angles Introduction / Theory Newton’s Second law states that The applied forces is equal

Surface Water Pollution Freshwater makes up less than three percent of earth’s water‚ but is the source of virtually all drinking water.55 percent of that water comes from reservoirs‚ rivers‚ and lakes‚ These sources‚ called surface water‚ are vulnerable to pollution discharged out of pipes and precipitating out of the air but the primary source of their pollution today is runoff‚ pollutants washing off the land. These nonpoint or scattered sources are not easily traceable. fertilizers used

Water Conservation Water conservation is important because we depend on it. So many of our daily activities‚ like bathing or flushing the toilet‚ require fresh water. Our body even needs water to function correctly. Seventy-one percent of the Earth’s surface is made up of water. Ninety-eight percent of it all is salt water‚ leaving only two percent as fresh water. More than half of the fresh water is permanently frozen in glaciers or is in the form of snow. That leaves just a tiny

Surface Water - Surface water is water on the surface of the planet such as in a stream‚ river‚ lake‚ wetland‚ or ocean. It can be contrasted with groundwater and atmospheric water. - Non-saline surface water is replenished by precipitation and by recruitment from ground-water. It is lost through evaporation‚ seepage into the ground where it becomes ground-water‚ used by plants for transpiration‚ abstracted by mankind for agriculture‚ living‚ industry etc. or discharged to the sea where it becomes

Bottled Water the Unknown Enemy Water bottle sales have been going up exponentially these last few years. According to the International Bottled Water Association (IWBA). People who are buying bottled water are being cheated. Tap water is cheaper‚ more convenient‚ and the change in taste is almost nonexistent. It is the better choice. Water bottles do not have as many perks as tap and is not reliable. The first big selling point about tap is how cheap it is. Consumer Reports News reports
