Chapter 13 Review
2
Water Cycle 3% freshwater, but.003% drinkable (glaciers) Transpiration vs. Evaporation Surface Runoff OR Percolation (underground)
3
Aquifers and Water Uses Rain Percolation Porous Rocks Aquifer – Aquifer gets new water = natural recharge – Water mining (like oil) – Too much water mining = over-drafting Uses: Domestic (drinking), Agricultural (farms) and Industrial (factories) – Developed = industrial, Developing = agricultural
4
Dams and Water Treatment Dams = block water flow (heart attack) Chlorination, Sedimentation, Desalinization – Salt water Fresh water (expensive) Reclaimed water = recycled water (cheap, nutrient-rich)
5
For Your Math Problems… Include: To get m 3 : multiply rainfall by area of facility Include percentages on ARROWS Pre-Treatment Facility (include area in m 2 ) Treatment (include cost in $/m 3 ) Amount of Rainfall (in m) Recharged in Aquifer Irrigated in Soil
6
Water Quality Turbidity (clarity), temp, pH, dissolved oxygen Pollutants from one source (point) or mulitple (non-point) Pesticides and biomagnification (food chain) Lakes and eutrophication (too many nutrients)
