Question

Name two sources of freshwater.

Answer 1

Freshwater:

1. This refers to water that is potable and usable for all terrestrial organisms.
2. It has a low concentration of dissolved salts.
3. About 3% of Earth's water is freshwater.

The following are two sources of freshwater:

1. Rainfall: Various forms of precipitation like rain, hail, sleet, and snow are sources of freshwater that replenish the groundwater and maintain the water table and underground water level.
2. Surface water: This involves reservoirs of freshwater that include lakes, rivers, and ponds. These are the major agricultural sites and have rich, fertile alluvial soil.
