What else can I help you with?
If the temperature increases in the water of lakes and streams then what type of pollution may occur?
thermal pollution
When land becomes eroded it loses its water-holding capacity and water washes over it into streams and rivers. This water harms the streams and rivers by doing what?
transporting pollution
What have you heard about water pollution in our creeks and streams?
Pollution is a bad thing. But water pollution is worse. Everyday we are drinking and using water unresponsibly. But what happens when that water runs out? We will be forced to drink salt water and pollution. (Don't eat the fish that comes from water!)
If the temperature increases in the water of lakes and streams would land pollution occur?
cool
What are the major issues affecting the economy?
Air water and land pollution fighting and crime
How the trash found on the beach is affecting the environment?
pollution because the water tide comes up and it goes in the water.
What does hot water that is produced by electric power plants and released into rivers and streams cause?
Thermal pollution, you boob
How might different types of pollution affect the water cycle?
Pollution can impact the water cycle by altering the quality of water bodies, leading to contamination and affecting the natural ecosystem. For example, chemicals in pollution can contaminate rainwater, altering precipitation patterns and affecting groundwater quality. Additionally, pollutants can accumulate in bodies of water, affecting evaporation rates and leading to the redistribution of pollutants through the water cycle.
How is reducing the pollution in streams and groundwater linked to water conservation?
Reducing pollution in streams and groundwater helps preserve water quality, making it safer for human consumption and ecosystem health. Conserving water by reducing wastage and promoting efficient usage helps maintain the quantity of available clean water resources in streams and groundwater, ultimately contributing to sustainable water management.
How does the watershed affects the water supply?
Watersheds play a crucial role in determining the quantity and quality of water available for a region. They collect and funnel precipitation into streams, rivers, and aquifers that serve as sources of drinking water. The health of a watershed directly impacts the water supply by affecting factors like erosion, pollution levels, and groundwater recharge rates.
How is the Dakota Access Pipeline contributing to water pollution in the surrounding areas?
The Dakota Access Pipeline is contributing to water pollution in the surrounding areas through potential leaks or spills that can contaminate nearby water sources, such as rivers and streams.
What is most pollution in streams due to?
Most pollution in streams is due to agricultural runoff, urban stormwater runoff, industrial discharges, and improper disposal of waste such as plastics and chemicals. These can introduce pollutants like fertilizers, pesticides, heavy metals, and excess nutrients into the water, leading to water quality degradation and harm to aquatic ecosystems.
