What happens when groundwater is used faster than it can be replaced?
The depth from which it is drawn gets bigger and bigger, and may fail altogether if the replenishment (rain, streams etc) are not sufficient.
Which is a way thst groundwater depletion affects streams?
Water depletion would mean that streams would dry out, and rivers run low.
When would water be found in a liquid state?
While in oceans, streams, rivers, lakes, or in groundwater.
How are groundwater and runoff different and alike?
Well, groundwater and runoff both land on Earth as precipitation, but groundwater is water that gets trapped underground by seeping through rocks. You capture this water by wells. Runoff is when precipitation flows from (usually) mountains. The water gets into streams, and streams join to form rivers. The rivers would usually lead to the ocean. Most of the runoff gets evaporated when the water reaches the ocean; only a little-bit of the water in rivers and streams flowing down is evaporated then.
How is reducing the pollution in streams and groundwater linked to water conservation?
You can't drink polluted water and animal can't drink them either. You can't water plants either.
What is the best description of rivers lakes an streams?

Where streams lakes and rivers drain is called a?

What are the parts of hydrosphere?
A part of the hydrosphere is any body of water.

Is monkeyflower a good ground cover choice along streams?
Yes, monkeyflower [Mimulus spp] is a good ground cover choice along streams and other water bodies. In fact, the plant favors the moist soil of damp meadows, pond edges and stream banks. So it's one of those plants that handles the yo-yo water availability of streams that can flood or dry up. It tends not to develop pest problems from either extreme. But sometimes foliage may shrivel and yellow in response to prolonged drought.
What happens to the jet streams in winter?
They continue.
What happens to streams as they mature?
Streams do not mature, they are merely water following paths of least resistance.
Where is water found?
Water is found in oceans, lakes/ponds, rivers/streams, groundwater, glaciers, soil, atmosphere/clouds, plants and animals.
