Dear friends as the rainy season is ahead and we have seen in this summer, the problems of water faced by people, so we should try to save and preserve water as much as we can do. Ways to Conserve Water … Avoid wastage of water. Do not keep the Tap water running. Plant more Trees. Grow Plants which require less water. Reduce water pollution. Build more dams…. This will prevent both Drought and Floods. Harvest rain Water SOURCES OF WATER RAIN WATER SURFACE WATER GROUND WATER RAIN WATER The water Vapour in the atmosphere condense to form Clouds and fall as Rain. Rain water is the purest form of Water. SURFACE WATER OCEANS & SEAS This water contains a large amount of dissolved salts and thus is SALINE and unfit for consumption. RIVERS, LAKES, STREAMS & PONDS This water is formed by melting of SNOW on MOUNTAINS & from RAIN. It is fit for consumption. SURFACE WATER GROUND WATER Rain water falls into Oceans, Seas, Rivers, Ponds, Lakes, Streams etc.And some of the Rain Water falls on Land, and gets collected under the Ground.The water so collected under the ground is called ground water.The Level of Water under the ground is called the water table WATER CYCLE Water continuously moves from the Earth to the Atmosphere and From the Atmosphere back to the Earth again. This circulation of water in nature is called Water Cycle. STEPS OF WATER CYCLE Water is converted into Water Vapor by many processes like Evaporation, Transpiration etc. The Water vapor rises up, becomes cooler and condenses to form tiny droplets which float in the AIR as CLOUDS and later form large drops and fall down as rain.
