1 Water Pollution, water cycle, flooding and urbanization

2

3

4 Steps of the water cycle
Evaporation-liquid turns to gas (water vapor) Condensation- gas turns to liquid (clouds) Precipitation-rain and snow Runoff-water flows down mountains and surfaces into streams and lakes Infiltration- water soaks into ground (groundwater) Transpiration- water absorbed by trees and released into air as water vapor

5 Point Source pollution
Know exactly where the pollutants are coming from

6

7 Non point pollution Can not trace the exact source of a pollutant

8

9

10 The Headwaters

11 Meandering Stream

12 Flood plain-area of land around a river that floods

13 What causes flooding of rivers?

14 What causes rivers to flood?
Too much rain and snow melt!!!!

15 Urbanization can cause floods
Removal trees means less infiltration More roads and buildings mean more runoff

16 Great flood of Memphis 2011

17 What can we do to prevent floods
What can we do to prevent floods? Build levees and Limit urban development

18 Hurricane Katrina levee breaking in New Orleans, LA

19 Mouth of a river

20 Questions to answer….
