Lesson

1 Sources and Kinds of Water


In this module, you will learn about the uses of water from the
different sources.

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:


1. explain the use of water from different sources in the context of
daily activities.

What is It

❖ Water comes from different sources. It may come from open


or closed sources.
❖ It may also come from a small or big body of water. Nearly 70%
of the earth’s surface is covered with water.
❖ There are three main sources of water. Each kind of water
depends on its source.

Three Different Kinds of Water:


1. Seawater is salty. It contains plenty of salt. It is found in the
seas and oceans. Seawater is also called hard water.
2. Freshwater is also called surface water. Unlike the
seawater, it does not contain salt. This found in open but
small bodies of water like rivers, lakes, creeks, and ponds.
Surface water comes mostly from rain. Rainwater flows from
land into streams and rivers. In cold countries, it also comes
from snow during winter and it melts and runs off into surface
water in spring.
3. Groundwater is found beneath the earth’s surface. It comes
from water that seeps into the ground. These accumulate in
the underground layer called water table. It is considered the
cleanest water and contains plenty of dissolved minerals
which the human body needs.
4. Other sources of water are clouds, icebergs, and glaciers.
Clouds come from the evaporating water. Glaciers and
icebergs are solid water found only in very cold countries.

Lesson

2 Uses of Water

What is It

❖ Water is a renewable resource because of the water cycle but a lot


of places in the world and in our country do not have enough water
because there were two problems with water: amount of
distribution and quality or safety.
❖ There are two important sources of water supply: surface water and
ground water.
❖ Uses of Freshwater such as rivers, lakes, and springs
- In the human body, water is needed for all body functions such
as digesting food, removing wastes, regulating body
temperature and on transporting medium for nutrients and
oxygen throughout the body. Water contains minerals which our
body need.
3
- Animals drink water for growth and health. Plants absorb
mineral content from water.
- It serves as a habitat for some animals and plants.
- It serves as recreation and transportation.
- Water is used for cleaning household materials, washing
clothes, watering plants, cooking food and many more. Almost
all our daily activities need water.

❖ Uses of Seawater
- habitat of aquatic plants and animals which are mainly used for
food and medicine
- used for recreation such as swimming, boating, and windsurfing
- used as routes for local and international transportation and
marine navigation

❖ Let us conserve water. Let us use water wisely and properly.


Always remember that it is an important resource. Water pollution
and insufficient supply of water may cause major problems of the
world in the near future.

What’s More
Directions: Write TRUE is the statement shows the uses of water
and FALSE if not.

1. Water is used for household and personal purposes such as for


drinking, cooking food, cleaning, and watering the plants.
2. Farmers use water for irrigation and used as a source of energy to
produce electricity.
3. Water is used as a medium for ships and small boats in
transporting people and other organisms from one place to
another.
4. Plants and animals can survive even without water.
5. Rivers and lakes are examples of seawater.
