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. Rainwater comes from clouds.
There are three main sources of water. The kind of water depends on its source. The three
different kinds of water are seawater, freshwater, and groundwater.
1. SEAWATER – is salty, it contains plenty of salt. It is found in the seas or oceans. Seawater
is also called HARD WATER.
2. FRESHWATER-is also called surface water. Unlike the seawater, it does not contain salt.
This is found in open but small bodies of water like rivers, lakes, creeks and ponds. Surface
water comes mostly from rainwater. Rainwater flows from land into streams and rivers. In
cold countries, it also from snow. Great quantities of snow accumulate on highlands and
mountains during winter. In spring the snow melts and runs off into surface water.
3.GROUNDWATER- is found beneath the earths surface. It comes from water that seeps into
the ground. These accumulate 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. Springs are openings of the groundwater directly to
the earth’s 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.
