1.)Which state withdrew the most groundwater in 2000? What is the greatest use of groundwater? Why is surface freshwater use gen
erally greater than groundwater use? 2.) What is the difference between the water stored in the ground above the water table and the water stored below it? What determines the movement of water in an aquifer?
1)United States for 2000 was determined from estimates of water withdrawals for the eight categories of public supply, domestic, irrigation, livestock, aquaculture, industrial, mining, and thermoelectric power.<span> total surface-water withdrawals were 323,000 Mgal/d, or 79 percent of the total withdrawals for all categories of use. About 81 percent of surface water withdrawn was freshwater. Total ground-water withdrawals were 84,500 Mgal/d, of which 99 percent was freshwater. Nearly all (98 percent) saline-water withdrawals were from surface water.
2)</span>Large amounts of water are stored in the ground. The water is still moving, possibly very slowly, and it is still part of the water cycle. Most of the water in the ground comes from precipitation that infiltrates downward from the land surface. <span>he term groundwater is used to describe this area. Another term for groundwater is "aquifer," although this term is usually used to describe water-bearing formations capable of yielding enough water to supply peoples' uses. Aquifers are a huge storehouse of Earth's water and people all over the world depend on groundwater in their daily lives. </span> Hop this helps\\\\
The primary succession takes a long time to be done. the secondary succesion takes 200-500 years for completion. the secondary succession occurs in an area which has been denuded recently and lately inhabited. soil is present at the beginning of the secondary succession with some organisms. thank you for this question.
When microorganisms release carbon dioxide into the soil, the acidity of water surrounding soil particles is increased. This increase in acidity allows for rock present in soil to be broken down, releasing minerals into the soil. These minerals are then available for use by plant life.
The siamese fighting fish (also commonly known as betta fish) is a freshwater fish found in some parts of asia. They are known to fight other fish of their kind, hence the name siamese <u>fighting</u> fish. They usually live between 2-5 years in captivity.
