Hydrologists play a vital role by studying the water cycle – the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth – and its impact on the distribution and supply of water. They are able to assess the quantity and quality of water resources available for meeting the needs of society (for example, in agriculture). ]]> 2017-10-15 13:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/annagrignetti/47o8tezsux99/wish/197110578 2.5 In practice: Didactic courses annagrignetti https://padlet.com/annagrignetti/47o8tezsux99/wish/197111195 The lesson Your Family’s Carbon Footprint has students reflect on how much greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide and methane) does their family release into the atmosphere each year.
