II. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW

DISCUSSION
Sources and Kinds of Water

Water comes from different sources. It may come from open

or closed sources. It may also come from a small body of water or
a big body of water. Others come from clouds as rain.

The kind of water depends on its source. The three kinds of

water are seawater, freshwater, and groundwater.
1. Seawater is salty. It contains plenty of salt. It is found in the seas
and oceans. Seawater is also called hard water.

2. Freshwater is also called surface water. This is found in open but
small bodies of water like rivers, lakes, creeks, and ponds. Surface
water comes mostly from rain. Rainwater flows from land into
streams and rivers. In cold countries, it also comes from snow,
icebergs and glaciers, and when melts it runs off into surface water.

3. Groundwater is found beneath the earth’s surface. It comes

from water that seeps into the ground. This accumulates in the
underground layer called water table. Groundwater is the safe
source of water. It is considered the cleanest water and contains
plenty of dissolved minerals which the human body needs.

Uses of Water

Freshwater is used for cleaning, washing, bathing, preparing

food and other household uses. It sustains plant and animal life. It is
used to water plants. It is given to animals to drink. Without water,
animals and people will die of thirst.

Freshwater in rivers, lakes and springs is used for recreation.

One can go swimming or boating in these places. Clean rivers and
lakes are also a rich source of shrimps, crabs, and shellfish.

Rivers and lakes, like seawater, can serve as routes of

transportation for boats like ferry boats in Pasig River. Freshwater
and groundwater may also be used in farms for irrigation and
livestock watering and in factories

Seawater is the habitat of marine aquatic plants and animals.
