    Introduction to Water

    Water is essential for all life on Earth. It covers 71% of the planet's surface
    and plays a critical role in many biological and geological processes.

    The Water Cycle
    1 Evaporation
    Water evaporates from bodies of water, soil, and plants,
    transforming into water vapor.

    2 Condensation
    Water vapor rises and cools, condensing into tiny water
    droplets, forming clouds.

    3 Precipitation
    Clouds release water back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or
    hail, depending on temperature.

    4 Collection
    Precipitation collects in rivers, lakes, oceans, and
    underground aquifers, completing the cycle.
    Properties of Water
    Polarity High Specific Heat Capacity Universal Solvent
    Water molecules have a positive and Water can absorb a large amount of Water's polarity allows it to dissolve a

    Water Pollution and Treatment
    Sources of Pollution
    1 Water pollution can originate from various sources,
    including industrial waste, agricultural runoff, and sewage.

    Impacts of Pollution
    2 Polluted water can harm aquatic life, contaminate drinking
    water, and negatively impact human health.

    Water Treatment
    Water treatment plants use physical, chemical, and
    3
    biological processes to remove contaminants and ensure
    safe drinking water.
    Groundwater and Aquifers
    Groundwater Water found beneath the Earth's surface, filling spaces
    between rocks and soil.

    Aquifer A layer of rock or soil that can store and transmit


    groundwater.

    Recharge The process of replenishing groundwater through


    precipitation and infiltration.

    Overdraft The depletion of groundwater faster than it can be


    replenished, leading to water shortages.
