Water Pollution The contamination of some body of water due to human activity that has some type of negative impact on organisms Point Sources: Distinct locations that pump waste into a waterway (you can point to it. Ex; This pipeline is leaking waste) Located at specific places Easy to identify, monitor, and regulate Non-Point Sources: different areas such as an entire farming region that pollutes a waterway (The bottle that?s floating in the ocean) Broad, diffuse areas Difficult to identify and control Expensive to clean up Human Wastewater Water produced by human activities such as human sewage from toilets and gray water from bathing and washing clothes our dishes Bacteria in wastewater sucks out the oxygen in it

Freshwater chapter AP Environmental case study: The case study for this chapter is centered on the Colorado River and Las Vegas. The river supplies many states with the necessary water for people to live in the area, but as of late the river has been drained. This is due in part to the city of Las Vegas using ?more than their fair share? of the water. The city is in the middle of a very dehydrated area and as a result the city uses more and more water each year as it grows. This is considered and environmental concern in that the freshwater from the river is being consumed at a rate considered to be unsustainable to the current state of freshwater usage. Without any signs of water usage slowing in Las Vegas and other cities, the river is gradually being drained away.

Chapter 2 Science, Systems, Matter, and Energy Summary 1. Science is an attempt to discover the natural world?s order and use that in describing what is likely to happen in nature. Scientists ask a question or identify a problem to investigate. Then, they collect scientific data through observation and measurement. Experiments may be used to study specific phenomena. 2. The major components of complex systems are environmental inputs, flows within the system, and outputs to the environment. 3. The basic forms of matter are elements and compounds. Matter is useful to us as a resource because it makes up every material substance. 4. The major forms of energy are kinetic energy and potential energy. Energy is useful to us as a resource because it moves matter.

water pollution

Water is about 70% of the human body and is found in what we eat; drink, in trees, and plants. Water is everywhere! Water can be utilized for cleaning purposes, diminishing fires, cooking as well as in transportation and recreation. It all depends on how we use water. Water is fun and tastes delicious right after a day out in the sun. Water is also valuable. Did you know humans can go longer without food than they can without water? You could die of dehydration within days if you don?t have H2O. So when you are drinking a cup of that refreshing liquid, do you think you can savor that moment forever? Yes, you can?that is if you care for it. Now if we all are not aware of water pollution, you may also not be aware that we face this problem all over the world.
