Column B
a.How much Fresh water there is on Earth (compared to Saltwater)
b.A well located at the bottom of a slanted aquifer such that the water goes downhill with gravity, then up the well. No energy is required with this type of well.
c.Area of Groundwater. We must dig a well into the saturated zone of a(n) ________ in order to reach the water.
d.Fertilizers flow downhill with surface runoff into a nearby freshwater source.
e.When water is simply not found in an area. Ex: Desert.
f.Plumbing that keeps wastewater away from natural water sources and drinking water.
g.Too many nutrients in a freshwater source allows a(n) _____ to take over the top of the water, suffocating the living things below.
h.This is the very top of the saturated zone of an aquifer. It rises when it rains, and it lowers when there is overuse or drought.
i.Energy created as moving water turns a turbine and operates a generator at a dam.
j.Natural boundary between a coastal plain and plateau. Cities were built in these locations throughout the US due to the access to the rivers *mainly for transportation of people and goods,
k.Layer of underground socks/soil/sand that allows water to flow through it.
l.Household usage is an example of this type of usage: drinking water, flushing toilets, showering, brushing teeth
m.Lack of precipitation leads to this constraint on a community- forcing people to conserve water.
n.When precipitation soaks into the ground, causing an aquifer to refill.
o.Private companies take ownership of water sources/ operations. The opposite of public water. Highly debated!
p.Layer of underground bedrock/clay that does NOT allow water to flow through. Instead, the water sits on top of this layer in an aquifer.
q.When water is available, but the community lacks the funds/money to access or treat the water.
r.The sinking of the ground, when the groundwater beneath it depletes and can no longer hold the weight above.
s.The cause for why the Poles are melting- which would flood coastlines.
t.Of all the water on Earth, this is how much we all share at one time. Thank goodness the water cycle cleans and replenishes it for us...
