The largest aquifer in the world that is being significantly depleted due to overuse
This is caused when too much groundwater is removed and ocean water is pumped into an aquifer.
This is water that has been used for other purposes and is now being used for irrigation of landscaping.
This is a method to reduce water use by planting native plants or desert-type plants.
This “law” prevents people living upstream on a river from blocking all of the water from going downstream.
This law sets limits on the amounts of contaminants that can be found in water used for consumption.
This dip will occur in a river or stream when organic matter is added.
This is the main cause of increased sediment pollution in water.
This term is used to describe a lack of or low quantity of oxygen in the water like in the Gulf of Mexico at the mouth of the Mississippi.
This is the most direct problem associated with an increase in temperature in a body of water. It is responsible for the other problems.
This is a measure of the amount of oxygen needed by bacteria to break down organic waste in the water. It increases as D.O. decreases.
An increase in this means that the water is becoming more basic.
If the presence of these are high, then either fertilizer or animal waste has likely entered the water.
This test will verify that human or animal waste is present in a body of water.
This happens to the nutrients in a river downstream from a dam.
This would cause a decrease in the amount of photosynthesis in a body of water.
This is added to water at the end of the water treatment process to kill bacteria?
