Which of the following is NOT a source of dissolved oxygen in the water?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

A. humans going underwater and exhaling

Explanation:

The dissolved oxygen in water refers to the amount of oxygen that is found in water. However, there are various ways that oxygen dissolves in a body of water, these includes;

- Photosynthesis of aquatic plants: Oxygen is the waste product of the photosynthetic process carried out by green plants. Hence, when aquatic plants undergo photosynthesis, oxygen from them tend to dissolve into water.

- Diffusion from the atmosphere: Oxygen from air or atmosphere also dissolves in water

- aeration as water moves over rocks and debris, and from wind and waves

However, humans do not exhale oxygen but carbon dioxide, hence, it is not a source of dissolved oxygen

How do wetlands help keep our water supply pure?
Fofino [41]

Most people in the world get our water from rivers and lakes, including the vast majority of the world’s poorest people. 

But half of the world’s 500 most important rivers – water sources for hundreds of millions of people – are being seriously depleted or polluted.* Approximately 40 percent of the rivers in the U.S. are too polluted for fishing and swimming.**

Water shortages will likely be a fact of life for most people on the planet within the next ten years.*** We can’t afford to pollute and destroy our drinking water sources. But that’s exactly what we’re doing – often without knowing it. 

Forests, grasslands and wetlands are nature’s water filters. They help keep erosion and pollution from flowing into our waters and they slow rainwater down, sending more water into underground supplies. But every year we lose 32 million acres of forest – that's a lot of water filters, gone, every year. 

We are facing dirtier, unsafe water and more risk of water shortages and scarcity. This crisis is real, it’s happening now and it’s getting worse fast.  

The Nature Conservancy partners with people communities in all 50 states and 30 countries to protect water sources. We work on the ground to:

<span><span>Prevent deforestation and destruction of grasslands – nature’s water filters</span><span>Restore forests and grasslands that have already been lost or damaged and sending erosion into our waters</span><span>Equip farmers with practical ways to keep harmful run-off out of our waters</span><span>Restore floodplains that act as sponges and send water down into groundwater supplies and filter pollution out of rivers</span><span>Create new science that helps pinpoint the greatest threats to our waters and the most effective ways to combat them</span></span>

But we understand that nature won’t solve everything, so we’re finding new ways to reduce water use. More than 70 percent of water withdrawn from nature goes to agriculture, so we’re helping farmers access new technologies and practices that use less water while continuing to produce the food we need.
