Rainwater:-

It is the main source of water on the earth. It is the purest form of water but gets polluted with dust particles and dissolved gases as it falls down on the earth.

Surface water:-

The water present in rivers, lakes, streams, oceans and seas is called surface water . It is naturally replenished by the rainfall and lost continuously by the process of evaporation surface water can be classified into two types :-

• Rivers, lakes, ponds and streams : water present in this water bodies comes from the melting of snow on the mountains and rain these water bodies contain dissolved solids and suspended impurities, water from such water bodies can be consumed after after simple water treatments.

• Seas and oceans : water in seas and oceans salty. rivers ultimately flow into the sea and add dissolved salts to it, the water present in seas and oceans contain large amount of dissolved salts due to which is not suitable for drinking, washing, clothes are irrigation purposes. Due to the presence of salts, it is called saline water.

Groundwater:-

Groundwater can be drawn out by digging well by Tube well, hand pumps, due to the presence of germs and other impurities we should boil it before consumption sometimes the underground water comes out of the surface with pressure from any weak point on the earth surface in the form of spring called spring water.

• Water that seeps in the ground and collects above the impervious rocks below the surface of the earth is called Groundwater.
