Answer 2

Answer:

Surface Water

1. Surface water is found in lakes, rivers and streams and is drawn into the public water supply by an intake.

2. Surface water is just what the name implies; it is water found in a river, lake or other surface cavity. This water is usually not very high in mineral content, and is often called “soft water” even though it is probably not.  

3. Surface water is exposed to many different contaminants, such as animal wastes, pesticides, insecticides, industrial wastes, algae and many other organic materials.

Ground Water

1. Groundwater is located underground in large aquifers and must be pumped out of the ground after drilling a deep well.

2. Groundwater is water contained in or by a subsurface layer of soil or rock.  

3. groundwater commonly contains less contamination than surface water because the rock tends to act as a filter to remove some contaminants.

Some of the factors responsible for water degradation are-

• Sewage water dumped directly in water bodies

• Industrial waste

• Oil pollution

• Acid Rain

• Eutrophication.
