  2. Spray Fields • There is a spray field here in Tallahassee located on Tram Rd. They have all types of things including different holding ponds where they hold all of the water that they may get from other spray fields or water that they clean.

  3. Recycling Water • Water is recycled by going to Spray Fields, they use the water for watering grass, and plants. They are also thinking about putting this type of water in homes so that they can water their plants, and grass to make it look better, but you CANNOT drink this water. • While recycling is a term generally applied to aluminum cans, glass bottles, and newspapers, water can be recycled as well. Water recycling is reusing treated wastewater for good purposes such as agriculture and landscaping.

  4. Drinking Water • The water you get from your faucet can come from two places, from lakes or rivers which is also called surface water, or from water that comes from wells which is groundwater. • Many people who live in large cities or towns get their water from lakes and rivers. But, most people in the United States get their drinking water from groundwater.

  5. Groundwater Quality • Just because you have a well that gives plenty of water doesn't mean you can go ahead and just take a drink. Because water is such an excellent mixture it can contain lots of bad chemicals. • Since ground water moves through rocks, and subsurface soil it has a lot of opportunity to dissolve substances as it moves. For that reason, ground water will often have more bad substances than surface water will.

  6. Groundwater cont. • Even though the ground is an excellent source for removing bad chemicals such as leaves, soil, and bugs, bad chemicals and gases can still occur in large enough portions in ground water to cause problems. • Underground water can get contaminated from household and industrial chemicals, and agricultural chemicals from the surface. This includes chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides that many homeowners apply to their lawns.

  7. Waste Water • You do not drink waste water. • Waste water is mainly sent to spray field’s. • We waste water all the time by running water until it’s hot in the shower, or by brushing our teeth and letting the water run down the sink.
