Why is tap water clear when other bodies of water are blue?
When we perceive the color of an object, we see the color that is reflected from the object into human eyes. Water absorbs light that is red, so that's why bodies of water aren't red. These bodies of water, however, don't absorb much blue light, so blue light get reflected into our eyes the most. That's why we see bodies of water as blue. Tap water is clear because it is only a small amount of water. A glass of water does not have the necessary amount of water to reflect enough blue light to be noticed by our eyes.
Is eye or hand chirality involved when leaning your head aside to drink water straight from the tap?
I asked my friends and from the data I could collect I seems it is eye chirality. Not sure though, I hope a real scientist could help ;)
both are involved. the eyes directly link to each respective half of the brain, as do the hands and feet, though some peoples feet are 'crossed' ie left foot, right hand dominant. thus on leaning the head, or rotating the head by a slight angle whilst looking forward effectively switches the occularly dominant side of the brain from one to the other. this in turn increases the 'awareness' of one side of the body eg, with head turned slightly to the right, the right eye and body becomes dominant, though it is infact the left hemisphere of the brain that has become more dominant, due to the cross wiring of the brain to body. this is important for co-ordinated tasks such as walking, or manipulating objects with your hands, you effectively need to see what you are doing. this of course does not mean the other half of the body becomes completely dead, and it is possible to 'learn' to reverse it, though this is the general natural arrangement of the mind-body. i hope this helps
Do rollie pollies drink water?
okay this is 1st grade knowledge ALL LIVING THINGS NEED WATER TO LIVE!!!!!!!!!!
well in the olden days they thought when you are ill its good 4 u but nower days not a tall no matter what
What is one way to recycle or reuse water?
In some cities, waste water (that goes down your drain) is already being collected, purified, and re-introduced to your citys' water system.
A desert water-collector can recycle some of the water introduced to the collection pit, but it is not really enough to make it worthwhile. Foliage works better, and this is really a survival tip, anyways.
Some people use "rain barrels" to collect water for the purpose of watering their trees and shrubs. This technique does not work well where the water may freeze overnight.
What is it called when you have plenty of water you can't drink?
When you have plenty of water you cannot drink it is frozen water, or ice. However, as scientific points and to add a mental challenge, we can also say all ice can be melted with the right conditions, but not all melted ice can be drunk.
How much ozone is required for water purification?
It depends on the water source, and the contaminants in it. Spring water or RO water is dropped into bottles with 0.2 to 0.4 ppm of ozone. This just keeps the contents "sterile" until the bottle is capped, and the ozone decays back to oxygen.
One community in California gets their drinking water from an underground well located in a buried ancient redwood forest... and ozone cannot treat it economically. The low tens of ppm of ozone were applied, and eventually so much oxygen ended up in the water, the carbon filters would get bound up with all the gas. To say nothing about corrosion in the distribution system from high dissolved oxygen.
Ozone doses of 1 - 3 ppm are ideal (cost and payback), and other treatment methods need to be applied either before or after ozonation (adding ozone to water), to allow this much / little ozone in most surface water sources.
Underground sources commonly only require filtration and/or ion exchange. Ozone is not usually required unless the ions are not fully oxidized, which is why they are found dissolved in water. Examples are iron, arsenic, and manganese. Manganese is a tricky one. Within increasing oxidation it goes from soluble (bad), to insoluble (good, can be adsorbed to something), to soluble again (bad). So ozone doses here have to be carefully applied.
Why is water so important to humans?
The reason water is important to humans is because without it every human being will die. Water makes us feel energetic. Water is also in our body mixed with blood.
Water has all the vitamins to keep a human walking and alive. Water is healthy and keeps you Hydrated the whole day. If you have ever tried not to drink water or didn't have the time you would realise that you would be tired and desperate for water.
I advise you to KEEP DRINKING LOTS OF WATER! specially when you are somewhere hot, because you sweat, therefore you need to drink water.
What if your dog's nose is usually cool but is drinking a lot of water?
take it to a vet but usually it is fine or drinking to much water
To make water dry up you take a glass of water outside on a really hot day. Then place the glass down on the sunniest spot. To make the evaporation faster use some magnifying glasses and pieces of glass to put direct sunlight on the glass of water.
TIPS: to make this easier use a wide bowl and pour the water in their. keep on checking the water different points of the day and moving it in the sunlight...
If the day and material are right you will be amazed how fast water can evaporated....
Why does the access to water a source of conflict?
It is a conflict because in dessert areas there is little to no supply of water.
Why is it important to find new sources of water and to conserve the sources now available?
Surprisingly, water is a non-renewable resource, so if we threw a crate of water into space, new water would not replace it.
Water is precious and if it gets ruined, new water cannot be created. It takes time and money to repair it.
