III. EXPLAIN

Points to Remember:

Water comes from open and closed

sources. It may also come from small
or big bodies of water. Rainwater comes
from clouds.

SOURCES AND KINDS OF WATER

1. GROUNDWATER refers to any

source of water found beneath
the soil layer of the Earth's
surface. It seeps into the soil or
between rocks and other
materials in the ground. It
accumulates in the underground
layer called water table. It is the
cleanest water and contains
plenty of dissolved minerals
which the human body needs.
Most of the communities obtain
their water from underground
aquifers, or rock formations
capable of holding large
amounts of freshwater.
Pollution, seawater
contamination and overuse
threaten this valuable resource.

Examples:

Grade 4 Student Answer

QUESTION: Groundwater is considered the cleanest

water because it contains plenty of
Why is groundwater considered the dissolved minerals which the human
cleanest water, and where can we find body needs, and it's found beneath the
it? soil layer of the Earth's surface. It
accumulates in the underground layer
called the water table, and we can find
it in sources like springs and wells.

Follow-up Question: Pollutants can reach groundwater

through activities like industrial waste
How do pollutants reach groundwater, disposal, agricultural runoff, and
and what can communities do to improper disposal of household
protect this important resource? chemicals. To protect groundwater,
communities can implement measures
like proper waste management,
reducing the use of harmful chemicals,
and implementing regulations to
 prevent pollution from entering the soil
and groundwater.

2. SURFACE WATER includes any

above-ground collection of water
such as rivers, lakes, ponds, and
oceans. Some sources of surface
water are also fed by
underground aquifers. Surface
water accounts for 80% of the
water humans use.

a. OCEAN AND SEA WATER are

salt water and are also called
"hard" water. They are not
potable water unless salt and
other impurities are removed.
Desalination is the process by
which salt is removed from
water. Salt water is 97% of all
water and is found mostly in our
oceans and seas.

b. FRESHWATER is found in
lakes, rivers, streams, ponds,
wetlands, reservoirs, glaciers
and even groundwater. Only 3%
of the water on Earth is
considered fresh water, with a
mere 30% of that small amount
being found as groundwater.
Pollution decreases the quality of
fresh water. Pollution is caused
by a combination of runoff
agricultural chemicals, poorly
managed industrial processes,
and lack of adequate treatment
for sewage and urban waste.

Examples:

Other sources of water are:

Grade 4 Student Answer

QUESTION: Some examples of surface water are
rivers, lakes, creeks, ponds, and
What are some examples of surface wetlands. It's important to protect
water, and why is it important to freshwater sources because they
protect freshwater sources? provide water for drinking, irrigation,
and habitats for plants and animals.

Communities can help prevent

Follow-up Question: pollution in surface water sources by
properly managing waste disposal,
How can communities help prevent reducing the use of harmful chemicals,
pollution in surface water sources like and implementing regulations to limit
rivers and lakes, and why is it essential pollution from industries and
to conserve these water bodies? agriculture. It's essential to conserve
these water bodies because they
provide drinking water for people and
habitats for plants and animals. If we
don't protect them, they could become
too polluted to use, and plants and
animals could lose their homes.

USES AND IMPORTANCE OF WATER

IN OUR DAILY ACTIVITIES

a. USES OF FRESHWATER
Freshwater is used for drinking,
cleaning, washing, bathing, preparing
food, cooking and other household
uses. Freshwater also sustains plant
and animal life. It is used to water
plants and given to animals to drink.
Without water, plants will wither;
animals and people will die of thirst.
Freshwater in rivers, lakes and springs
is used for recreation. One can go
swimming or boating in these places.
Clean rivers and lakes are also a rich
source of shrimps, crabs, and shellfish.
Rivers and lakes whose water is not
very clean may still be useful. They can
serve as routes of transportation for
boats. Water may also be used in farms
for irrigation and livestock watering Grade 4 Student Answer
and factories.
Freshwater is used for drinking,
QUESTION: cleaning, washing, bathing, preparing
food, cooking, watering plants, and
What are some uses of freshwater, and giving to animals to drink. It's
why is it important to conserve this important to conserve this resource
resource? because without water, plants will
wither, and animals and people will die
of thirst. Also, clean rivers and lakes
provide recreational activities like
swimming and boating, and they
support plant and animal life.

Follow-up Question: Individuals can conserve freshwater in

their daily lives by not wasting water,
How can individuals help conserve fixing leaks in pipes and faucets, taking
freshwater in their daily lives, and why shorter showers, turning off the tap
is it important for everyone to when not in use, and using water-
contribute to water conservation saving appliances. It's important for
efforts? everyone to contribute to water
conservation efforts because freshwater
is essential for drinking, cleaning, and
sustaining plant and animal life. If we
don't conserve water, we could run out,
and plants and animals could suffer,
and we wouldn't have enough water for
our daily activities.

b. USES OF SEAWATER
Seawater is the habitat of aquatic
plants and animals as well as other
marine organisms. The oceans, seas,
rivers, lakes, and ponds are the
habitats of most of the aquatic plants Grade 4 Student Answer
and animals which are used mainly for
food and medicine.

QUESTION: Aquatic plants and animals use

seawater as their home and source of
How do aquatic plants and animals use food. Marine habitats are important to
seawater, and why is it important to protect because they provide shelter
protect marine habitats? and food for many species, and if we
don't protect them, these plants and
animals could disappear.

Individuals and communities can help

Follow-up Question: protect marine habitats by not littering,
reducing plastic use, properly
What are some ways individuals and disposing of waste, and supporting
communities can help protect marine organizations that clean up beaches
habitats, and why should everyone be and oceans. Everyone should be
involved in preserving our oceans and involved in preserving our oceans and
seas? seas because they are home to many
plants and animals, and they provide
us with food, medicine, and resources.
If we don't take care of them, marine
life could suffer, and we could lose
important ecosystems that support life
on Earth.

c. USES OF GROUNDWATER
Groundwater is a safe source of water
and considered the
cleanest water because it contains
plenty of dissolved minerals which the
human body needs. It is also used for
irrigation to grow crops for our food.
Likewise, it is important component in Grade 4 Student Answer
many industrial processes. It is a
source of recharge for lakes, rivers, and
wetlands.
Groundwater is used for drinking
QUESTION: because it's safe and clean, and it also
helps grow crops through irrigation. It's
How is groundwater used, and why is it important for human activities because
important for human activities and the it's used in many industrial processes,
environment? and it's important for the environment
because it helps recharge lakes, rivers,
and wetlands.
Follow-up Question: Individuals and communities can help
protect groundwater sources by not
How can individuals and communities polluting the soil with chemicals,
help protect groundwater sources, and properly disposing of waste, and using
why is it important to conserve this eco-friendly products. It's important to

generations? future generations because
groundwater is essential for drinking,
growing crops, and supporting
ecosystems. If we don't protect it, we
could run out of clean water, and
future generations wouldn't have
enough water for their needs.
