Ch 10: Hydrologic Cycle / Human Use
High Boiling point
High Melting Point
High Freezing Point
Adhesions / Cohesion
(surface tension = light things float on surface)
97% Salt
1.7% Polar Ice
0.77% Freshwater
Hydrology: the branch of environmental science that deals with water properties, its movement, and the distribution on earth.
Precipitation
Clouds hold condensation till to heavy then precipitation happens
Rain, Snow, Sleet, Haill
Infiltration (Purification)
Water can evaporate between sky and ground
Whatever reaches the ground can still evaporate OR enter soil
Percolation (Purification)
Water moves through soil
Plants use it
Recharge Groundwater + Aquifers
Moves through soil and collects in large regions
Can shift depending on season / precipitation patterns
Uses of water
Irrigation 70%
Industry 20%
Direct Human Use 10%
Developing countries: 90% waste water returns back to surface water
Consequences of ground water usages
Severe flooding
Extreme drought
Increase erosion
Water Stewardship
Drip irrigation
Rain Barrel Collection
Conservation
