Answer 1

Answer:

different sources of water are:

1)Some sources of water are obvious, like lakes and rivers, while others, like glaciers, are a bit more removed from everyday experience.

2)ground water : Ground water refers to any source of water that lies beneath the soil layer. Ground water can exist in the soil itself or between rocks and other materials.Only 3 percent of the water on earth is considered freshwater, with a mere 30 percent of that small amount being found as groundwater.

3)surface water : Sources of surface water can include any above-ground collection of water such as rivers, lakes, ponds and oceans. Some sources of surface water are also fed by underground aquifers. Surface water accounts for 80 percent of the water humans use.

4)ocean water : Although ocean water makes up nearly 97 percent of all water on earth, it is not a viable source of potable water unless salt and other impurities are removed.

5)ice caps and glacial melting : Of the 3 percent of earth's water considered freshwater, 70 percent of that small amount is currently locked in glaciers and ice caps.

ways of conserving ti are :

FRESH WATER MUST MEET INDUSTRIAL, MUNICIPAL, AND AGRICULTURAL NEEDS.

In fact, up to 69% of our fresh water supply is consumed by the agricultural industry, compared to 21% for municipal use and 10% for industrial use.

AT THE SAME TIME, POPULATION GROWTH AROUND THE WORLD IS SKYROCKETING.

Greatly increasing the demand for fresh, potable water. The world population was estimated at 0.7 billion in 1750, 2.3 billion in 1950, and a projected 9.5 billion in 2050.
