Quarter 4 – Module 2
Uses of Water from Different
Sources
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the Science 4 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module
on Uses of Water from Different Sources!
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher
or facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12
Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic
constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this
also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking
into consideration their needs and circumstances.
As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use
this module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while
allowing them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected
to encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the
module.

 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to
help you to explain the use of water from different sources. The scope of this
module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The
language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The
lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the
order in which you read them can be changed to correspond to the textbook
you are now using.

The module is about the Uses of Water from Different Sources (S4ES-
IVb-2).

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. identify the different sources of water;
2. explain the use of water in our daily activities; and
3. cite the importance of water in our everyday life.

What I Know

Write YES if the statement is correct or NO if it is not. Write your

answers on a separate sheet of paper.

1. Three-fourths of the Earth is water.

2. Freshwater is also called surface water.
3. Freshwater serves as a route of transportation.
4. Clouds are produced from evaporating water.
5. Solid water is found only in very hot countries.
6. Groundwater is found beneath the Earth’s surface.
7. Glaciers and icebergs are solid water that contain about two-thirds of the
Earth’s freshwater.
8. Freshwater is used in preparing food, cleaning, washing, bathing, and
doing other household chores.
9. Water has three forms: solid form, liquid form, and gaseous form.
10. Seawater is considered the cleanest water and a habitat for aquatic
plants and animals.

 Lesson
Uses of Water

How about in your community?

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 large body of
water.

Three Kinds of Water

1. Seawater. It is salty. It contains

plenty of salt. It is found in the seas
and oceans. Seawater is also
considered hard water.

2. Freshwater. It is also called

surface water. It does not contain
salt and is found in open but small
bodies of water like rivers, lakes,
creek, and ponds. Surface water
comes mostly from rain. In cold
countries, it also comes from snow.

41
 3. Groundwater. It is found beneath
the Earth’s surface. It comes from
WELL water that soaks into the ground.
These collect in the underground layer
WATER TABLE called water table. It is the cleanest
water and contains plenty of dissolved
minerals. Springs are openings of the
groundwater directly to the earth’s
GROUND WATER
surface.

Other sources of water are clouds, icebergs and glaciers. Clouds come
from evaporating water. Glaciers and icebergs are solid water found only in
very cold countries and contain about two-thirds of the Earth’s freshwater.

Uses of Freshwater

• It is used for cleaning, washing, bathing, preparing food, and doing

other household chores.
• It sustains plant and animal life.
• It is for recreation.
• It is used as a route for transportation of vehicles like boats.
• It is for irrigation of farms.

Uses of Seawater
• It is a habitat of aquatic plants and animals.
• It is for recreation.
• It serves as a route for local and international transportation.

Water is a renewable resource because of the Water Cycle. But a lot

of places in the world, including our country, do not have enough water
because there are two problems with water: amount of distribution and
quality or safety (Abutay, et al., 2015).
