14. 6)A WATERSHED
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.

15. 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?

16. REVIEW 20) 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

17. Georgetown is located in the SAN GABRIEL WATERSHED
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.

18. RUN OFF is the rain water or snow melt that drains DOWNHILL
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.

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

20. VID CLIPS: Groundwater! (4 min)

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

22. REVIEW 22) An AQUIFER is an UNDERGROUND layer of earth, gravel, or porous (SPONGE-LIKE) stone that holds WATER.
Aquifers in Texas

23. 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.

24. ACTIVITY: CODE BLUE

25. 2.3 Water Journal
Explain 2 things that you didn’t know about water before today’s lesson and explain in detail why they are important to know about.
How does the pollution we discussed in the Code Blue Activity contribute to the scarcity of fresh water?
How will what you learned today in class change the ways you use water in your daily routines?
