evaporation or underground seepage or both. (Endorheic lakes)

AQUACULTURE WATER USE
MINING

2. Enumerate the different pollutants that enter the ocean

MARITIME TRANSPORTATION
SEWAGE
AIR POLLUTANTS
FARM RUNOFF

3. What is Surface Water?
(defined as waters falling upon and naturally spreading
over lands. They may come from seasonal rains, melting
snows, swamps or springs, or from all of them)
4. Explain why ocean is a storehouse of water
(It is estimated that of the 332,500,000 cubic miles (mi3)
of the world's water supply, about 321,000,000 mi3 is stored in
oceans. That is about 96.5 percent. It is also estimated that
the oceans supply about 90 percent of the evaporated water
that goes into the water cycle.)
5. What is Desalination?
(Salt water is desalinated to produce fresh water suitable
for human consumption or
irrigation. One potential byproduct of desalination is
salt.)

reaching another body of water. (River)

source of water,
for obtaining food,
for transport
as a defensive measure,
as a source of hydropower to drive machinery,
for bathing,

AUDITOR, REY C.
STREAM
I.
1. It is a point of demarcation along the route of a stream or river, used
for reference marking or water monitoring. (Gauging Station)
2. _________ is a stream which does not have any other recurring or
perennial stream feeding into it. (First Order Stream)
3. It is a body of running water moving under the influence of gravity to
lower levels in a narrow clearly defined natural channel. (Stream)
4. A shoal that develops in a stream as sediment is deposited as the
current slows or is impeded by wave action at the confluence. (Bar)
5. It refers to the elevation of the water surface relative to an arbitrary
fixed point. (Stage)
6. It is defined as the rate of flow or the volume of water that passes
through a channel cross section in a specific period of time.
(Discharge)
7. _________ is an equation determined for a specific site that relates
discharge to stage, based on a linear regression of a series of
concurrent measurements of stage and discharge. (Stage-discharge
Relationship)
8. It is defined as the cross-sectional area divided by the wetted
perimeter. (Hydraulic Radius)
9. _________ is characterized by sparse riparian vegetation and
excessively eroding cut banks, which may slough into the active
stream channel. (Bank Instability)
10.
It is a direct measurement that simply measure the time required
to fill a container of known volume. (Volumetric Measurement)
