Each person needs a piece of paper. On one side: Draw California: Identify and Label – Mountains: Sierra Nevada, Coast Range, Klamath Mountains, San Gabriel – The Central Valley – Fresno (F), Sacramento (S), San Francisco (SF), Los Angeles (LA), San Diego (SD) – Rivers: Sacramento, San Joaquin, Los Angeles – Rain: Shade the area with highest rainfall in blue. – Mojave Desert

Divide the other side into four sections. Upper Left: 2 pie graphs. – 1. salty water vs fresh water earth. – 2. Fresh water: rivers, lakes, groundwater, glaciers, atmosphere Upper Right: Diagram a ponding basin. Diagram its purpose. Lower Left: Draw the hydrologic cycle – label as many processes as you can. Lower Right: What are two water issues in Fresno County?

Ponding Basin = Aquifer Recharge (Filling up the Groundwater) Impermeable Layer – (Rock, Clay)
