Surface water is water on the surface of the planet such as in a river, lake, wetland, or ocean
sustainably
In ecology, sustainability is the property of biological systems to remain diverse and productive indefinitely
reservoirs
A reservoir is a storage space for fluids
groundwater pollution
Groundwater pollution occurs when pollutants are released to the ground and make their way down into groundwater
nutrient pollution
Nutrient pollution, a form of water pollution, refers to contamination by excessive inputs of nutrients
wastewater
Wastewater, also written as waste water, is any water that has been adversely affected in quality by anthropogenic influence
Safe Drinking Water Act
The Safe Drinking Water Act is the principal federal law in the United States intended to ensure safe drinking water for the public
evaporative cooling
An evaporative cooler is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water
surface tension
Surface tension is the elastic tendency of a fluid surface which makes it acquire the least surface area possible
