5. 1A- SALT WATER = 97.1% Ocean Sea

6. 1B- FROZEN WATER = 2.2% Ice Glaciers Snow Ice Bergs Ice Caps

7. 1C) GROUND WATER = 0.3% –AQUIFERS –SPRINGS –WELLS

8. 1D – ATMOSPHERIC = 0.1% –Clouds –Humidity –Fog –Mist

16. 3) What is irrigation & 4) Why is it so important?

18. WATERSHED 5) A WATERSHED Is DRAINAGE BASIN DOWNHILL BODYWATER Is a DRAINAGE BASIN where water from rain or snow melt drains DOWNHILL into a larger BODY of WATER, such as a lake, reservoir, sea or ocean.

19. DIVIDE WATER DOWN SLOPE The DIVIDE of a watershed simply means the point at which the WATER will run one way or another – will it go DOWN the front or back of a SLOPE?

20. SKETCH THIS DIAGRAM INTO YOUR NOTES 6) SKETCH THIS DIAGRAM INTO YOUR NOTES The drainage basin of a WATERSHED ACTS LIKE A FUNNEL, collecting all the water within the area covered by the basin and channeling it into a waterway the eventually goes into a lake or ocean if it is not diverted first. Be sure to include: Precipitation Tributary Ground Water (Aquifer) Divide

21. SAN GABRIEL WATERSHED. BRAZOS RIVER Georgetown is located in the SAN GABRIEL WATERSHED. The San Gabriel River joins the Little River five miles south of Cameron when then meets the BRAZOS RIVER northwest of College Station.

22. RUN OFF POLUTANTS RUN OFF is the rain water or snow melt that drains DOWNHILL. It is a natural process, but often ERODES soil and carries POLUTANTS along with the water.

23. When it rains, some water soaks into the ground

24. Aquifers in Texas 7) An AQUIFER is an UNDERGROUND layer of earth, gravel, or porous (SPONGE- LIKE) stone that holds WATER.

25. RECHARGE ZONE A RECHARGE ZONE is an area where the process that allows water to REFILL an AQUIFER takes place. This process occurs naturally when RAINFALL FILTERS down through the soil or rock into an AQUIFER.

27. 8) Draw this RIVER SYSTEM diagram into your notes. Be sure to include: Source Tributary Confluence Flood Plain Distributary Mouth

29. How does water get to my house? water towers towertank pumpAlthough water towers come in all shapes and sizes, they all do the same thing: it is a tower, a tank and a pump. gravityWater towers use gravity to get the water to your home. pressureWater towers are tall to create pressure to push water to all the houses and businesses in the area of the tower.

30. What happens to the water when you..... take a shower? brush your teeth? flush the toilet?

31. Once the water goes down the drain, it runs through a series of angled pipes that eventually connect to pipes from your neighbors’ homes. They in turn, feed into larger pipes that lead to even larger pipes until at long last, the waste water from your own home, mixed with that of hundreds of other homes, flow into........

32. Lake Georgetown? NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you want to fish, swim, and ski in water that comes from the town’s sinks and toilets???? No way!!!!!!! How about the San Gabriel River? No way!! It flows into other rivers that eventually flow into the Gulf of Mexico. Do you want to fish and swim in rivers or at Padre Island in water that has had millions of flushed toilets empty into it???????

33. Then where does Georgetown’s “dirty water” go ? It goes to the water treatment facility just east of San Gabriel Park, where the water molecules are separated from all other materials and then recycled for use again. This happens each day in America’s towns and cities. Water treatment plants turn “dirty water” into clean water for you to drink, shower with, wash dishes with, etc.

35. Since the amount of water molecules remains constant on earth, this means you have drunk and bathed in water that was drunk or urinated once upon a time by........ dinosaurs Adolf Hitler The KING FOR REAL!!!
