Definition
The water at the ocean is moved primarily by winds that blow in certain patterns because of the Earth's spin and the.
these causes currents.

Term
|
Definition
is an oceanographic phenomenon that involves wind-driven motion of dense, cooler, and usually nutrient-rich water towards the ocean surface, replacing the warmer, usually nutrient-depleted surface water.\
it accurs right below the cost line.

is the apparent deflection of moving objects when the motion is described relative to a rotating reference frame.
in tornadoes the Coriolis force is negligible, and balance is between pressure

Definition
Plants and animals also add water vapor to the air by transpiration. As it rises into the atmosphere, the water vapor condenses to form clouds. Rain and other forms of precipitation return it to the Earth, where it flows into bodies of water and into the ground, beginning the cycle again.
we need this to live

Groundwater depletion, a term often defined as long-term water-level declines caused by sustained groundwater pumping
Many areas of the United States are experiencing groundwater

Term
salt water intrusion[image] |
|
Definition
is the movement of saline water into freshwater aquifers, which can lead to contamination of drinking water sources and other consequences.
this is bad if it gets in your drinking water
salt water, fresh water

Term
|
Definition
a barrier constructed to hold back water and raise its level, the resulting reservoir being used in the generation of electricity or as a water supply.
we use this to make electisity.

Definition
Dam removal is the process of removing out-dated, dangerous, or ecologically damagingdams from river systems.
this is bad because a lot of sediment get in the water.

agriculture affects on freshwater[image] |
|
Definition
The quality of freshwater at any point on the landscape reflects the combined effects of many processes along water pathways
we affect the freshwater alot by putting all the sediment in it.

recreational effects on freshwater[image] |
|
Definition
Toxic cyanobacteria are increasingly being perceived as a potential health hazard, particularly in waters used for recreation
we dont help this because we make things all around the freshwater sources.

Definition
pollution from industrial and sewage treatment plants, comes from many diffuse souers
we dont know where all the pollution is coming from because there are diffent point were it is made.

Term
point source pollution[image] |

Definition
defines point source pollution as “any single identifiable source of pollution from which pollutants are discharged
we know where this pollution is coming from.

Term
primary waste water treatment[image] |
|
Definition
to achieve a certain degree of effluent quality by using a sewage treatment plant with physical phase separation to remove settleable solids and a biological process to remove dissolved and suspended organic compounds.
we use this to keep our water clean not non infection

Term
secondary waste water treatment[image] |
|
Definition
Secondary treatment is a treatment process for wastewater (or sewage) to achieve a certain degree of effluent quality
we need this to drink the water we have.
bleach, filters |

Definition
is the final cleaning process that improveswastewater quality before
it is reused, recycled or discharged to the environment.
this is the part that makes us able to drink the water
