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

Water is an odorless‚ colorless‚ tasteless chemical compound that makes up well more than half of the human body. In addition to being prominent in the make-up of the human body‚ it also covers all but approximately 30% of the Earth’s surface‚ and can be found naturally in all three states of matter: liquid‚ solid and gas. Water is a covalent bond known most commonly by its empirical form; H2O. It can also be identified by the Lewis Dot Structural form shown in the figure in the upper right corner

The Everglades’ ecosystem is being threatened by water quantity and water quality. They used to be able to flow freely from the Kissimmee River to Lake Okeechobee outward to the sea. The Everglades covered almost 11‚000 square miles of land creating sloughs‚ a mosaic of ponds‚ hardwood hammock‚ forested uplands‚ and sawgrass marshes. For hundreds of years‚ the Everglades become home to 40 different species of mammals‚ 15 endangered animals‚ and more than 350 species of birds. However‚ by the 1900’s

Uses of water: 1. For drinking and for life processes. On an average‚ a man consumes about 60‚000 to 80‚000 litres of water in his lifetime. The body of an adult contains nearly 40 to 50 litres of water at any given time and water constitutes about 66% of the average body make up. Aqueous solutions fill the cells in the body. Nutrients‚ oxygen‚ and metabolic waste products are transported by blood‚ which is mostly water. Digested food is absorbed in the form of an aqueous solution. In plants too

Water is continuously being recycled in a process called the water cycle. All living things on earth need water to survive. The water cycle has no starting point and no end point. Earth’s water is always in movement and always changing forms‚ it can go from a liquid to a solid to a gas and back to a liquid. The water cycle is how we track movement of water above‚ in and on the earth. The water cycle consists of three major processes‚ condensation‚ evaporation and precipitation. Condensation is the
