See less1. Surface Water:
a. Rivers and Streams:They flow precipitation and melting ice water to the oceans.
b.Lakes:Both natural and artificial lakes facilitate storage of water for later supplies to human beings, agriculture, and industries for various uses.
c. Reservoirs:They are artificial in nature, formed by constructing dams across rivers, which are mainly used for storing water, flood control, and hydroelectric power supplies.
2. Groundwater:
a. Aquifers:Porous rock or sediment that stores the water under the Earth’s surface.
b. Wells and Springs:Gain access to groundwater for drinking, irrigation, and industry, especially in arid regions.
3.Atmospheric Water:
a. Water Vapor, Clouds, and Precipitation: Source of all precipitation that recharges surface and groundwater supplies.
b. Hydrological Cycle: Evaporation, condensation, and precipitation distribute fresh water throughout the globe.
These sources are interconnected through the hydrological cycle. Keeping the management of these resources make them available for future generation.
