Water Quiz

 the water cycle is very important to Earth - the water cycle circulats the water from our oceans to the land and our rivers bring the water back to the oceans, often polluted, but the water cycle run faster when the oceans get warmer
The "Water Cycle" shows how water recycles on Earth.
Clouds are picking up moisture from the oceans.
The water cycle circulates the water from our oceans to the land. Our creeks and rivers bring the water back to the oceans, often polluted, always with salt in it.
The water cycle run faster when the oceans get warmer, because more water evaporates, building clouds.

Test your knowledge:

Water is the most common compound on Earth,
the fluid which all life depends upon.
It's the one liquid
Humans must have to live.
Humans need to drink water.
Water has many health benefits.

Water Conservation: Every Drop Counts
--------------------------------------
Water is a precious resource in our environment.
Growing populations and
ongoing droughts are squeezing
our water resources dry,
causing natural habitat degradation
and impacting our everyday use of water.
We have no choice but
to pay more attention
to how we are using water,
and how we may be wasting it.
We must bridge the gap between
our understanding of how
important water is to our survival
and what we can do to ensure
that we have an adequate supply
of clean water for years to come.
Below is a list of the many simple ways
you can take action and conserve water,
both inside and outside our homes.

You're In Control
* Try to do one thing each day to save water.
Don't worry if the savings are minimal.
Every drop counts,
and every person can make a difference.
* Be aware of and follow all water conservation
and water shortage rules and restrictions
that may be in effect in your area.
* Make sure your children are aware
of the need to conserve water.

Water contamination is todays biggest problem

There are several types of contaminants in water,
such as particulates, organics, in-organics,
microorganisms and pyrogens.
In the past, people were mainly concerned with
ionic contaminants and measured ionic conductivity
or resistivity as a way to determine water purity.

Today people are more concerned with
organic contaminants
particulates and microorganisms,
such as bacteria and gases
hat are dissolved in water.

Today we know, that even a few parts per billion
of water contamination are enough
to influence health in a human.

There are eight commonly used methods
to purify water:
distillation
deionization
reverse osmosis
activated carbon filtration
microporous filtration
ultrafiltration
ultraviolet oxidation
electrodialysis.
