What are some of the greatest challenges associated with our water supply? EnvironSci book p.293 - 298
43
What are some of the greatest challenges associated with our water supply? Access to Groundwater (Aquifers are recharged by Surface water) Transpiration (Cottonwood & Willow trees suck up and evaporate water) Competition for Use of water supply (agriculture, drinking water, septic system) Agriculture Nitrates & Phosphorous (from fertilizers) Urbanization (population growth in cities draws more groundwater)
