In an attempt to answer your question, I will discuss the three categories of water contamination level as utilized by restoration professionals like www.drymeout.com.
Category 1: This is water that poses no threats to humans. For example, if a pipe breaks and your clean tap water is pouring out, that would be a Category 1 level of water damage. AKA Clean Water
Category 2: This is where things get a little serious. Chemicals or other contaminants are found in the water and can make human's feel ill if exposed. Most category 2 cases include sump pump failures and even seepage of water from dishwashers. AKA Grey Water
Category 3: This is the worst case of water damage contamination possible. The water is severely contaminated, unsanitary and is hazardous to human health. Category 2 water that has become stagnant after 48-72 hours will become classified as category 3. An example of this is a toilet back flow, sewage and flood waters from rivers.
Basically, if you have any water damage and call a restoration company and/or an insurance company, an assessment of the water's contamination level will be required.

How does water system through the nonliving part of an ecosystem?
Water systems travel through the nonliving part of an ecosystem through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
What is the human impact on the Delaware water gap ecosystem?
The anwer is by greenhouse gas and car fuel
What is the carbon cycle?
The carbon cycle is a process by which carbon is cycled between the atmosphere, land, water and organisms. Carbon enters a short-term cycle in an ecosystem when producers, such as plants, convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis.The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth
A community and all of the nonliving things that affect it?
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment. Energy, water, nitrogen and soil minerals are other essential abiotic components of an ecosystem.
Which are the five cycles?
The: Rock Cycle Water Cycle Nitrogen Cycle Oxygen Cycle Carbon Cycle
Which cycle recycles matter through an ecosystem?
the water cycle, nitrogen cycle, and the carbon cycle.
How does water system through the nonliving part of an ecosystem?
Water systems travel through the nonliving part of an ecosystem through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
What does the water cycle accomplish besides balancing the water in an ecosystem?
Transports nutrients
Which nutrients tends to cycle within a single ecosystem?
Water
How is water returned to the ecosystem?
the water cycle...evaporation, condensation, precipitation...:) hope this helps!
Why is the cycle important to the ecosystem?
All living organisms need water to survive.
What model shows how energy is lost as it flows through an ecosystem?
The water cycle!
How does the water cycle affect biotic compoments of an ecosystem?
Water is required by humans. Hence, recycling of water is essential.
How can damage to an ecosystem harm animals that live there?
no water no food noshelter and no trees
What would happen if the water cycle was not within the ecosystem?
The water would not have recycled back. It would have caused scarcity of water.
The process of water moving through an ecosystem is called what?
In general, it is the water cycle. It is more [physically] specifically known as Flow.
What are some effects of water shortage?
thirst, no crops can grow, no cooking (when water is needed) and can damage the ecosystem and the food chain.
