Humans destroy water supplies by throwing trash such as plastic bottles and candy wrappers into water sources like the ocean and lakes. Some humans also don't recycle plastic bottles. Therefore, instead of being reused, the bottles find their way into our water.

2. Humans could replenish the water supply by using desalination which could turn undrinkable salt water into safe drinkable fresh water. Humans could also recycle things like plastic bottles so they don't end up in our water supply.]]> 2018-02-26 16:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477200 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477216 Humans harmed the water supply by how we litter in the water, humans littering also harms the ecosystem that lives in the water.

What humans could do the replenish and help our water supply is to NOT LITTER, simply not littering in the ocean can help a lot with the ecosystem and our water. What we could do also is to use public fountains. This'll help your wallets and help with the prevention of littering by a whole lot. Instead of using plastic bottles, use your own bottles. ]]> 2018-02-26 16:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477216 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477232 1.Humans harm water supplies by allowing runoff from storms to drag all of their harmful waste products like pesticides of litter to reservoirs like oceans and lakes.
2.Humans can replenish their water supplies by purifying sewage water and other contaminated water supplies through Pure Water and other companies like it or desalinizing salt water with the many desalinization plants around the world. While desalination is not a permanent solution it would be perfect for places that are in drought.]]> 2018-02-26 16:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477232 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477239 2018-02-26 16:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477239 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477249 What do humans do that destroy or hurt water supplies?

What humans do that destroy and hurt our water supplies and environment  is that they don't recycle and they litter and when they do that and when rain comes road will have water streaming to a drain which leads to the ocean and when it picks up trash that no one ever picked up and recycle it will go straight to the ocean and fish might think its food and they will try eating plastic or whatever it is and they would die.

What can humans do to create or replenish the water supply

Humans should recycle so it does not hurt fish in ocean or take shorter showers but to replenish the water humans would have to use something that takes salt out of seawater and that would be desalination. (desalination: the process of removing salt from seawater.]]> 2018-02-26 16:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477249 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477260 When humans buy bottled water only some recycle the bottles and some even litter the bottles.That  trash can then get blown by wind or storms into bodies of water and it pollutes the water. In 2017 there were 35 billion bottles of water sold in the U.S and if only some of those bottles are being recycled that does a lot to the  water. We also use a lot of pesticides and fertilizers in our farming  and when it rains the runoff can cause those pesticides and fertilizers can get carried away into lakes and rivers and pollute them

Humans can use reusable water bottles, recycle their water bottles, pick up trash and stop the use of motorized vehicles like boats in water.]]> 2018-02-26 16:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477260 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477265 1)Humans hurt the water supply by being humans. Weather it is not picking up dog poop, dumping left over waste, and leaving out trash, all of this finds a way to our water supplies, either by evaporating and coming down as rain, or getting pushed to our supplies by the rain, or runoff.

2)They can pick up after themselves, and keep plastic from being in the water. Not only does the plastic hurt the water supply, but it harms the animals that live there. All that we humans have to do is easy, and we are all capable of doing it. Just don't litter and be a good person. It's not very hard, there are trash cans literally everywhere.

2) It should be a law that if someone is caught littering, they should get a warning, or a small fine.

Humans have polluted the water supply with trash and all kinds of debris. This can impact our health and the health of animals. Trash gets into the ocean which can harm animals and make them die. This can make our water toxic to drink or use. 
2. We can replenish the water supply by not putting trash everywhere and not letting harmful gases go into the air. If we do not have enough fresh water than we can go to another option, Desalination. Which is using the ocean water and taking the salt out of it so that it can be useful]]> 2018-02-26 16:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477271 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477307 humans aren't recycling the plastic bottles water and then it end up in the ocean hurting the water by killing the animals by the animals eating plastic. its hurts the water supply because the plastic can be in our water. waste and trash are also getting into ocean which can affects the water

humans can easily recycle bottle water so it dosen't end up in the ocean into our drinking water]]> 2018-02-26 16:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477307 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477314 Humans litter and it can get in the water that can harm the animals in the water and make the water dirty and harmful to drink. Humans also waste water and use to much water. 
Humans can use less water and not waste water and only use what they need. Also, if humans stop littering it will not get in bodies of water so the water will be cleaner Humans can use desalination to clean ocean water.]]> 2018-02-26 16:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477314 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477343 Humans harm our water supply by littering, causing pollution.

Humans can replenish our water supply by not littering and not using much water. ]]> 2018-02-26 16:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477343 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477365 1.)What do humans do that destroy or hurt water supplies?-   Humans litter, then when it rains, runoff carry's the trash into the ocean. This trash can also find its way into lakes or streams which is where we get our water.                                    2.)What can humans do to replenish the water supply? -   Humans can replenish the water supply by using desalination. Desalination is the process that extracts mineral components or salt, from salt water. And because  most of our water on earth  is salt water we have a lot  of it to desalinate so then we can have more water to drink and use. We can also stop polluting our water.]]> 2018-02-26 16:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477365 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477418 Humans are harming our water supplies by polluting the small amount of water that we have to drink and throwing trash into our water as their trash can, which causes pollution. Even just not picking up your trash off of the sidewalk can affect our water supply because of runoff.

To replenish our water supply, people can use desalinization to take the salt out of our ocean water and use it to drink, since over 96% of our water comes from oceans, seas, and bays. Purifying polluted or contaminated water is another way that we can replenish our water supply.]]> 2018-02-26 16:57:24 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477418 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477720 humans destroy and hurt water supplies by relying on sources and affecting where they get the water from. people dump trash into oceans lakes and rivers and see the negative effects. dumping trash into streets or letting waste not get picked up affects it, waste gets carried into bodies of water by rain or runoff. 

humans can recycle water that was previously polluted and find new ways to make undrinkable/unusable water clean. cutting down our use of water would be difficult but if we can reuse water it would be more effective. we can also use desalination to take salt out of water so it is drinkable.]]> 2018-02-26 16:57:47 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477720 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477727 Humans have harmed the water supply by dumping their waste into rivers, lakes, and oceans. instead of recycling, many people just throw their recyclable material in trash cans or they litter on the street. This leads to the contamination of many people, plants, and animals, apart from the fact that water becomes much more scar.
to save water, we can use desalination and not rely so much on the water from the Colorado river because their is a lot of saltwater and it would take a lot of time for humans to run out of salt water]]> 2018-02-26 16:57:48 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477727 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477803 Humans harm out water supply because they polluting it and by putting in the water contaminants in the water and harming all ocean life as well as the water. Humans can also put lead,  E coli, viruses, and harmful bacteria.

Humans also can harm our water by results from oil and gasoline leakage form boats and recreational vehicles in rivers and lakes; littering directly into bodies of water; leakage of underground gasoline storage tanks into ground water intrusion of seawater into groundwater in coastal areas. ]]> 2018-02-26 16:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235477803 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235478358 Humans harm our water supplies by polluting it, as well as through the change in water distribution. Pollution includes littering and throwing trash/other debris into the water. Although many people do not realize it, pollution from inland will eventually reach the ocean due to many causes including but not limited to, runoff and wind. This can lead to contamination and intoxication for both us humans and other animals/organisms that rely on these water sources. The change in water distribution includes damming rivers and streams, as well as diverting water through channels for ease in our daily lives. Channeling/rerouting rivers affects ecosystems by introducing water into previously dry areas and removing it from others. But what does this mean? It means that these changes can cause an array of downsides, including perhaps the most important, that ALL organisms that previously relied on that particular water source must now relocate in order to survive.

However, a possible to this solution could be recycling and halting littering into our precious bodies of water, on top of simply conservation! To replenish our water supply, we can use desalination to provide clean freshwater by removing the salt in ocean water.]]> 2018-02-26 16:58:42 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235478358 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235478439 Humans have harmed the water supply by littering our earth and eventually the litter will get into the water.Humans also put dangerous pollutants into their water supply, like pesticides and herbicides from farm and agricultural places. It happens when the water carries the herbicides and pesticides to the water supply. 

Humans can stop the pollution by recycling plastic water bottles, not letting them get into the ocean and picking up and throwing away all litter. There are more issues like  people wasting our water supply.]]> 2018-02-26 16:58:48 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235478439 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235478606 Humans put in dangerous things into the water and hurt the environment and it can also affect the water's distribution. Humans also affect the water supply by moving it to dry areas but also removing it from others where living things may need it.

Humans can replenish water supply by using the process of desalination which is taking salt out of water from the ocean so that it is safe enough for us to drink. We can also stop polluting and littering as much as we do now so that our rivers and oceans are cleaner. ]]> 2018-02-26 16:59:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235478606 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235478934 Humans effect water supply severely. We either damage or save it. Recently, we have done a really good job of hurting our water sources. Dumping trash and other waste products into river and streams has impacted our drinking water. Also, it has hurt the environment such as fish and other river animals. This is just one bit of our earth that has been impacted by horrific decisions made by humans.]]> 2018-02-26 16:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235478934 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235479058 By using already available technology like desalination and techniques like conservation and recycling, we can save and get water without wasting more than we already have. This how we can replenish water supplies.

Negative human impacts on water are commonly pollution. By pollution I mean dangerous chemicals or materials leaked into the environment like oil through something like runoff or waste disposal. Also humans hurt the water supply by wasting water. By that I mean something like leaving the facet on.]]> 2018-02-26 16:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235479058 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235479359  Humans can hurt and destroy the water supply by littering, not picking up dog waste, letting oil leak from your car, and we let pesticides and herbicides from farms run away into the storm drains. There are more things that contribute to the pollution of water but those were a few.  

 To save water we could use desalination. Desalination is a way to take salt out of ocean water.So then, it is safe enough for us to drink. A down side is it is easy but it is costly. ]]> 2018-02-26 17:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235479359 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235479920 instead of holding the water after its been drunken the plastic bottle pollutes the water



We can replenish water if we don't have any fish pets because then we would need to clean the water once a week and we keep using water]]> 2018-02-26 17:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235479920 https://padlet.com/pkeitel/wc345c3f1dzn/wish/235481076 Humans can replenish the water supply by desalination.

How humans hurt or destroy water supplies are that we overuse/abuse our water by not conserving it when using it. 

What can humans do to create or replenish the water supply?
