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. Rainwater comes from clouds.
There are THREE main sources of water. The kind of water depends on its sources. The
three different kinds of water are seawater, freshwater, and ground water.
1. SEAWATER – is salty. It contains plenty of salt. It is found in the seas and oceans.
Seawater is also called hard water. It is the habitat of aquatic animals and plants. These
plants and animals are used mainly for food and medicine. Seas and oceans are also used
for recreation such as swimming, diving, windsurfing, and etc.
 4

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 rain. Rainwater flows from land into streams and rivers. In cold
countries, it also comes from snow. Great quantities of snow accumulate on highlands and
mountains during winter. In spring, the snow melts and runs off into surface water. It is used
for cleaning, washing, bathing, preparing food and other household chores. Freshwater sustains
plant and animal life. It is used to water plants. It is given to animals to drink. Without water,
plants will wither. Without water, animals and people will die of thirst.

3. GROUNDWATER – is found beneath the Earth’s 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.

What’s More
You have come a long way in your module. Keep it up, kid! ☺ Now, answer this activity
for you to check your learning track. ☺
