If the farmer continues to withdrawl water from the same source there

will be a limited amount for local people to use. Also the well will create

a cone of depression, causing the water level in the well to decrease. The

farmer will most likely use up most of the water.

The freshwater well became salty due to over use of the well and being near the ocean. Due to the saltwater infiltrating into the soil and the overuse of the freshwater well, salt water was sucked up along with the fresh water.

Winterville could have the ability to run

out of water if the population continues to

increase. Things Winterville could do would be more rain

water capturing and also connecting to more than one creek

or river near the areas.

Pollutants that flow through the same watershed can affect inhabitants majorly,

because different species in that habitat can be affected due to what they are used

to in their environment, those pollutants can change the standards of living.

In Winterville families will feed into the Tar- Pamlico watershed. Those families

will face pollution problems in their water. The Tar- Pamlico contains many pollutants

such as Mercury in its water.

Non-point pollution is when the pollution can`t be directly tracked or identified, such as gas and oil runoff from an urban area. The barriers around the stream are put into place to prevent the runoff of pollution and sediments from getting into the stream.

The steps involved in purifying our drinking water include:

1.) Filtering out large sediment partcles

2.) The water is disinfected with ozone

3.) The water is filtered again

4.) The water is chemically treated

The macroinvertebrates are very sensitive towards

pollution and change, also they can be collected very easily

and react to any contaminations very easily.

1) Take shorter showers

2) Wash your car at car washes
