Is water below ground surface part of the hydrologic cycle? Why?
(b)
Efficient water consumption is about approaches of using improved technologies
and good practices to reduce the amount of water used in our daily life. As a
building services engineer, recommend FOUR (4) solutions to strive for a greener
environment by avoiding wasting water.
How does retardation affect the velocity of a pollutant in the ground water? Do all pollutants in the soil flow with the water and at the velocity of water? Explain.
