Question

write a story on Lake as a source of water​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lakes exist as two types of surface water sources: as natural lakes, and as artificial lakes (also called reservoirs). Normally, lakes are fed and drained by rivers or streams, but are also supplied by precipitation run-off (see also the water cycle).

Answer 2

Answer:

I know the answer pls mark me as brilliant

Explanation:

Lakes are surface water sources, with water levels changing depending on the seasons. Lakes usually play an important role in the supply of water for the regional population (household use), industry and agriculture. Lake management has to consider that the amount of water extracted is not higher than water entering the lake; pollution and eutrophication; as well as sedimentation to guarantee an ecological balance and a constant quality of water for use. There are natural lakes and man-made lakes, also called reservoirs.

Advantages

Quickly and easily accessible water source

Fresh and clean water needs only little further treatment

A lake is an important economic factor for a region (drinking water, tourism, etc.)

Can be used to produce energy

Disadvantages

Riparian conflicts can occur especially in arid areas

Often misused to discharge waste water and solid waste

Expensive intake constructions for large scale extraction necessary

In Out

Precipitation, Freshwater, Drinking Water, Treated Water

Freshwater, Drinking Water

Introduction

Factsheet Block Body

Lakes, like every surface water source, are very important for water supply in communities, cities, agriculture and industry. Lakes exist as two types of surface water sources: as natural lakes, and as artificial lakes (also called reservoirs). Normally, lakes are fed and drained by rivers or streams, but are also supplied by precipitation run-off (see also the water cycle). Even though surface water and ground water are usually evaluated as separate water masses, they interact depending on physiographic and climatic setting of the landscape (U.S. EPA 2000). Physical impairments to water quality include a variety of parameters, such as temperature, turbidity and pH (acidity) and they describe the general condition of the water and its ability to support aquatic life. The following table lists the most common physical water quality parameters measured and compares the characteristics of surface water and groundwater based on these parameters.
