I would not like to get my water from rivers, lakes, and streams because they get polluted which isn't good for your health.

I think ground sources are the place to get our water. This water comes from groundwater, spring, hyporheic zones and aquifers. This water is great because it doesn't have water pollution like rivers and lakes.

Personal actions like water pollution can effect the quality of our water. Pollution can lead to diseases in the water we consume, and this effects our health. Water pollution can also cause the entire ecosystem to collapse, if it's left unchecked.

Surface water comes from rain and snow. It's the water that fills rivers, lakes and streams. Water is pumped from groundwater or surface water sources into pipes or tanks. The pipes lead to our homes, schools, businesses, and any place where you can turn on the tap and drink water.

A watershed is a area of land that catches rain and snow where it drains or seeps into a marsh, stream, river, or lake. Homes, big cities and much more can make up watersheds.

Wastewater is not to be sent in the streets or storm drains, but it can be discharged into the sewer system or used in landscaping. Also wastewater disposal systems takes the sewage from your home or business treats it and then releases it into the ground.

After the water has been filtered a disinfectant like chlorine, may be added in order to kill any remaining parasites, bacteria, and viruses and to protect the water from germs when it is sent to homes and businesses.

Once the floc is settled at the bottom of the water supply, the clear water on top go through filters of different compositions of sand, gravel, and charcoal in order to remove dissolved particles, such as dust, parasites, bacteria, viruses, and chemicals.

During sedimentation the floc sits at the bottom of the water due to it's weight.

Coagulation and flocculation are the first steps in water treatment. Chemicals are added to the water and  these chemicals neutralize the dirt and other dissolved particles in the water. When this happens particles and chemicals mix and form larger ones called floc.

Wastewater treatment is the process of taking wastewater and making it suitable for it to go back into the environment. Waste water can be made from different activities like, washing, bathing, and using the toilet. Rainwater run off is also considered wastewater. It doesn't matter where it comes from, this water contains bacteria and other contaminates. So this treatment reduces the contaminats and makes the water acceptable for releases into the environment.
