1 Water Every Drop Counts!

2 Earth’s Water Supply

3 2 Groups of Fresh Water 1.) Surface (above ground) 2.) Ground (below the ground surface)

4 Surface Water Lakes Ponds Rivers Streams/Creeks Wetlands (marshes, bogs, swamps, sloughs) Reservoirs

5 2. Ground WaterGround Water Located beneath the Earth’s surface in spaces between soil and rocks Aquifer – underground layer of rock this is saturated with water down to the impermeable rock layer Water Table – Top of saturated layer, rises and falls depending on amount of recharge (adding water) and discharge (water removal)

6 Where is Ground Water Stored?

7 Water is a Renewable Resource

8 Terms to Know and Relate: Precipitation Condensation Evaporation Transpiration Sublimation Surface Runoff Infiltration Percolation Aquifer

9 Water storage in atmosphere Condensation * Evaporation(2) * Spring *Freshwater Storage Water storage in oceans Surface runoff Snowmelt runoff to streams Transpiration (2) Sublimation Precipitation Infiltration Ground water Discharge Water Storage in Ice and Snow
