Please explain where it has the answers because I don't see it anywhere at all.
1. thermoelectric
2.Cause: Liquid waste from smelting enters the water supply & water used as a cooling agent in power plants
Effect: Increased levels of contamination such as chromium and lead & decreased dissolved oxygen levels
3. thermoelectric
4. Positive: Energy production, Water storage, and control of water
Negative: High salt concentrations, deepening of riverbed & trapping of river-borne nutrients
5. Excess levels of nutrients in the water supply
6. Quality: Pesticides, Irrigation & Grazing
Quantity: Irrigation
7. Cause: Animal waste appears in the water supply & Fertilizer is applied
Effect: Algal bloom occur & Water is unfit for aquatic life
8. Sedimentation
9. Water used to refine oil
Positive: Water storage, energy production, control of water
Negative: deepening of riverbed, high salt concentrations, trapping of river-borne nutrients
2. Drag each item to indicate whether it is a cause or effect of nutrient increase in the water supply.
Cause: Animals waste appears in the water supply, fertilizer is applied.
Effect: Water is unfit for aquatic life, algal blooms occur.
3. Which accounts for the highest water withdrawals in the United States?
Answer: thermoelectric power
4. Which is the most prevalent source of agricultural water pollution?
Answer: sedimentation
5. Which of the following is an effect of both improper livestock and improper irrigation practices?
Answer: Excess Levels of nutrients in the water supply
6. Which of the following uses the largest amount of water per day?
Answer: thermoelectric power
7. Is each term a cause or an effect of water pollution? Drag each term to the category it matches.
Cause: Liquid waste from smelting enters the water supply, water used as a cooling agent in power plants
Effect: increased levels of contaminants such as chromium and lead, decreased oxygen levels
8. Drag each item to indicate whether it impacts the quality or quantity of the water. Each item may be used more than once.
Quality: Irrigation, Grazing, Pesticide
Quantity: Irrigation
9. Which of the following is an example of industrial water use?
Answer: Water used to refine oil
1. Which of the following is an example of industrial water use?
Answer: water used to refine oil
2. Which accounts for the highest water withdrawals in the United States?
Answer: thermoelectric power
3. Which is the most prevalent source of agricultural water pollution?
Answer: sedimentation
4.Drag each agricultural practice to show whether it impacts the quality or quantity of water.
Answer: Quality : pesticide, "irrigation" (this is what I got wrong), and grazing
Answer: Quantity : irrigation
5.Drag each item to indicate whether it is a positive or negative impact of dams.
Answer: Positive : energy production, water storage, and control of water.
Answer: Negative : trapping of river-borne nutrients, deepening of riverbed, and high salt concentrations.
6. Drag each item to indicate whether it is a cause or effect of nutrient increase in the water supply.
Answer: Cause : "Animals waste appears in the water supply.", and "Fertilizer is applied."
Answer: Effect : "Algal blooms occur.", and "Water is unfit for aquatic life."
7. Which of the following is an effect of both improper livestock and improper irrigation practices?
Answer: Excess levels of nutrients in the water supply
8.
Answer: Cause : "liquid waste from smelting enters the water supply" and "water used as a cooling agent in power plants"
Answer: Effect : "increased levels of contaminants such as chromium and lead" and "decreased dissolved oxygen levels"
9. Which of the following uses the largest amount of water per day?
Answer: thermoelectric power
