Final #2

Question: Explain how water quality in both groundwater and surface systems is impacted by land use decisions?

Answer: the water quality in ground water and surface systems impacts by the land use decisions is the pollution that we create up here gets into the water and then the water puts the pollution into the earth which then makes a lot of the water go through the world and it becomes dangerous for the animals to drink and for us be around.

  • The flood cycle starts as heavy rain and then turns into so much water that it is considered a flood, a lot of peoples lives become in danger when a flood occurs and they loose their homes and get separated from their families.
  • erosion happen when there is poor land and it carries part of the land away to a new place where it will settle down but the place that it came from has marks showing the path where it came from.
  • i think that science will interact from a personal and social perspective by attempting to help stop the erosion that is going on and help figure out when a flood is going to come a week before it happens so people can get out safely and be able to stay with their families.
