    The document summarizes different forms of water: 1) Groundwater is found below the Earth's surface and is stored between grains of soil and rock in aquifers, and connects to river systems and lakes. 2) Soil moisture refers to rain and precipitation stored in soil and not running off into rivers. 3) Surface water includes fresh water in lakes, rivers, and aquifers, but not oceans which contain salt water.

    Water as a resources-Different Forms of water

    Groundwater  is found __below____________ the Earth’s surface.


     rain and water from rivers travels through the
    __ground__________where it is stored between grains of soil and
    ___rock_______.
     ____ground________ water moves through __aquifers_________ and
    connects with river systems and lakes.
     The largest aquifer in the world is the ___great artesian
    basin___________________________ in central Australia.

    Soil moisture (green water)  is precipitation, such as _rain_________, that is stored in the
    _soil__________ and does not become groundwater or does not __run
    off___________ into rivers. It instead stays on top of the soil.

    Surface water (blue water)  refers to all the fresh water on the surface such as in lakes and rivers, as
    well as water stored in aquifers (_ground___________ water).
     It does not include the oceans or seas, which contain salt water.

    Wastewater (grey water)  refers to water that is used to dilute pollutants. Therefore it is a waste
    product.
     tends to be produced by industries, but also by households when they do
    their washing.
     tends to be below accepted standards for _drinking___________, but
    people often use it for their _gardens_________________.

    Saltwater  Contains approx five teaspoons of salt for every _litre__________ of


    water. This amount of salt enables _sea______water to become denser,
    and as a result the ocean needs to be colder than freshwater before it
    freezes.

    Ice  Water becomes ice as it freezes. Of the 3% of water not stored in


    oceans, _two______-thirds is locked away in g_laciers________ and ice
    sheets.

    Water vapor  the gaseous state of water and is essential for our weather and
    __climate_________.
     It is created mostly by __evaporation____________ of water from the
    Earth’s surface.
    On the diagram above can you locate any of the different types of water?
