34.Ground Water • EQ: How can we determine the safety and drinkability of our water supplies? • LT: I can describe the processes that can be used to convert unusable water to usable resources. • LT: I will describe groundwater. I will determine which type of soil is most permeable to water. I will explain why groundwater is becoming a non-renewable resource.

Groundwater Notes 23 Groundwater – water that soaks in the ground & collects in rocky pores (pores – space between rocks) Permeable – allows water to flow easily through (ex: sandstone) Impermeable – Doesn’t allow water to move through b/c of small, few or no pores (ex: clay) Aquifer – layer of permeable rock that lets water move freely
How does groundwater travel? NB 23 Interconnecting pores How do you replace groundwater? Time and precipitation Why is groundwater becoming a non-renewable resource? We are using it up faster than nature can replace it. (Avg. person use 397 Liters per day) Also pollution
EXIT: • How did you observe permeability in today’s activity? • Use Impermeable in a sentence
