What else can I help you with?
Is rainwater betTer then well water?
That depends where you live. Acidic rainwater is not always better than groundwater.
What has more freshwater lakes rivers or groundwater?
groundwater has more freshwater than rivers and lakes
Is rainwater more dense than salt water?
No, rain water is almost pure water as it has evaporated and will only contain small dust particles from the atmosphere. Salt water contains disolved salt and is therfore more dense.
A student measures the boiling point of rainwater and sea water.Which has the higher boiling point?
Sea water has higher boiling point,as it contains sodium chloride
Is groundwater harder to clean up than surface water?
Yes, groundwater can be harder to clean up than surface water because pollutants can penetrate deeper into the ground, making it more challenging and costly to reach and treat. Additionally, groundwater flows more slowly than surface water, which can prolong the cleanup process.
What is more plentiful groundwater or surface water?
Groundwater is generally more plentiful than surface water. It is estimated that about 30 times more freshwater is stored as groundwater compared to surface water. Groundwater is stored in underground aquifers and is replenished by precipitation and surface water sources.
Can rainwater have a pH of 7?
Yes, rainwater typically has a pH slightly lower than 7, around 5.6-6.5 due to the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, if rainwater is collected in a clean environment with minimal air pollution, its pH can be close to 7.
Does rainwater have acid?
Rainwater can have a slightly acidic pH due to the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which creates carbonic acid when it dissolves in the water. This can make rainwater slightly more acidic than pure water, but it is generally considered safe for drinking and other uses.
Does snow water hurt or poison you?
No more than rainwater does. In other words, no, not really.
Describe about different sources of drinking water with their characteristics?
Groundwater: Water stored beneath the Earth's surface that is extracted through wells. It is usually clean and low in contaminants but can be affected by pollution from human activities or natural sources. Surface water: Water from rivers, lakes, and reservoirs that is collected and treated for drinking. It may contain more contaminants than groundwater due to exposure to pollution and environmental factors. Rainwater: Water collected from rainfall, usually through harvesting systems. It is relatively pure but can pick up contaminants from roofs or storage tanks if not properly maintained.
Why is the pH of shallow groundwater less than that of deep groundwater?
More dissolved solids accumulated in deep ground water and perciatation makes shallow ground more acidic.
What is 100 times more water than in all rivers and lakes?
Groundwater
