salt water is that both are basically the same chemical - water‚ although the contents of other materials dissolved in it differ. Both contain some amount dissolved chemical in it though the quantities vary. Both form different links in the water cycle of the nature. Both are homes to aquatic life. Difference: Salt water contains much higher quantities of dissolved chemicals as compared to fresh water. This higher concentration of chemical also raises the density of salt water above

Water conservation refers to reducing the usage of water and recycling of waste water for different purposes such as cleaning‚ manufacturing‚ and agricultural irrigation. Water conservation and water efficiency [edit] Water conservation Water conservation can be defined as: 1. Any beneficial deduction in water loss‚ use‚ or waste 2. A reduction in water use accomplished by implementation of water conservation or water efficiency measures; or‚ 3. Improved water management practices that reduce

Ground water! What is it? Well it’s basically self-explanatory and is any water that is held under ground. That is only a very simple definition of it though and well in fact ground water is very critical to every ones life locally and worldwide. Most of the water that you drink comes from ground water and not from lakes and rivers even though those are considered as a part of ground water components. Ground water has many components that it can be divided into and this paper will explain what

the current water shortage on Oahu. For the purpose of this paper‚ our group has chosen to discuss what we believe to be the top three most feasible technological solutions. In order of current usability they are; 1. Water recycling 2. Desalination 3. OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) Water Recycling Water recycling here on Oahu is an important part of ensuring a sustainable water supply for future generations. Through the natural water cycle‚ the earth has recycled and reused water for millions

The Physical properties of water: 1. Knowledge of the physical properties of water: Water is the most abundant compound on Earth ’s surface‚ covering about 70 percent of the planet. In nature‚ water exists in liquid‚ solid‚ and gaseous states. It is a dynamic equilibrium between solid and gas states at standard temperature and pressure. At room temperature it is tasteless and odourless‚ nearly colourless with a hint of blue. Many substances dissolve in water and is commonly called a universal

Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals‚ biological contaminants‚ suspended solids and gases from contaminated water. The goal is to produce water fit for a specific purpose. Most water is purified for human consumption (drinking water)‚ but water purification may also be designed for a variety of other purposes‚ including meeting the requirements of medical‚ pharmacological‚ chemical and industrial applications. In general the methods used include physical processes such

WATER RESOURCES What are water resources? Water resources are sources of water that are useful or potentially useful to humans. It is important because it is needed for life to exist. Many uses of water include agricultural‚ industrial‚ household‚ recreational and environmental activities. Virtually all of these human uses require fresh water. Only 2.7% of water on the Earth is fresh water‚ and over two thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps‚ leaving only
