Sources of Water:

  • Water (H2O) is an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odourless, and almost colourless chemical substance.
  • Water resources are natural water resources that may be valuable to humans, such as a source of drinking water or irrigation water.
  • Only 3% of the water on Earth is fresh water, with little more than two-thirds frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.
  • Rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs, springs, and groundwater are examples of bodies of water that give water to public drinking water sources and private wells.
  • Sources of water can include: Water on the surface (for example, a lake, river, or reservoir), Water from the ground (for example, an aquifer)
