Which of the following is not a source of surface water
Answers
Answer:
Potable water means drinking water. Well, river and lake contain drinking water as these all contain either rainwater and groundwater which is suitable for drinking. The sea which contains salty water that is not suitable for drinking is not a source of potable water.
There are four major sources of surface water. These are rivers, lakes, ponds, and tanks.
Surface water is water on the surface of the planet, above the ground. It is the water in rivers, lakes, wetlands, and oceans. It is lost through evaporation, where it becomes atmospheric water, or through seepage into the ground, where it becomes groundwater.
Oceans, streams, lakes, ponds, and other bodies of water found on the Earth's surface are considered surface water. This is in contrast to groundwater, which is found beneath the surface of the earth.
