We take water for granted and it’s almost impossible for us to go without having a running water in the house.

pond or a pond with fish in it, the winter weather could end up being a big threat. When the winter comes and the pond water freezes, it is essential for pond and water garden owners to take the necessary steps to keep a hole in the ice to allow for a constant gas exchange during these colder months. Many pond owners will utilize aerators or de-icers to keep a hole in the iced water surface, but in certain conditions, the cold can cause these holes to potentially close and stop the exchange of gases

Fact:the FDA controlling the safety and quality of bottled water must be as good as the EPA regulations which controls tap water” (Bottled Water Question and Answer). Also, bottled water has lower levels of sodium, which helps many people with health conditions. Another cool fact is bottled water has an “indefinite shelf life”(Bottled Water Maters), meaning if the bottled water were to stay unopened and in

lakes, it’s water that comes to mind first. Michigan is easily recognized from a map and even from a globe. We are the mitten that is surrounded by great lakes. Michigan has more water than just the great lakes though, we also have natural springs, rivers, streams, groundwater, and well water. You might think Michigan would be all set to go with all that freshwater! We would never have any problems with water supply! But what would happen if we didn’t keep a careful watch on our water?

Combining oxygen with hydrogen extracted from hydrazine is how Mark Watney, in the movie “The Martian,” made water on Mars. We are going to need Watneys on earth too. 97% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, but 96% of that is saline. And it gets worse. 3.4 million people die every year due to waterborne diseases. Water purification is a grand challenge today and is at the same scale as global warming and depletion of nonrenewable natural resources. I want to address this challenge. As a

Hello, this is Paige Hord and I am going to tell you about the water cycle. So what is the water cycle. We know that water evaporates from the surface of earth, it raises into the mantle and cools and condenses into snow or rain into a fluffy cloud. Then it falls again to the surface ( that's precipitation ) then the water runs off the plants into the lakes ( which is called runoff or groundwater),water is always changing states between liquid, vapor, and ice, these processes is happening a blink

Speech Paloma Water covers 70% of our planet, and it is easy to think that it will always be plentiful. However, freshwater, what we drink, bathe in, irrigate our farm fields with makes up only 3% of the world’s water, and two-thirds of that is stored in frozen glaciers or unavailable for our use. Many of the water systems that keep ecosystems thriving and feed a growing human population have become stressed. Rivers, lakes and aquifers are drying up or becoming too polluted to use. Already, 80 countries

people that paddle lakes think they are prepared to canoe a river. Lakes do not have speed and they do not have the force of water moving around and over obstacles at sudden depth changes. This unfamiliarity is a potential danger to any lake canoeist. River novices would be wise to take a canoe lesson with an instructor. Proper canoe lessons on a river teach how to read water, a technique not required on lakes. A canoeist that knows what they are looking at makes the best decisions of where to go
