Lesson Content
Sources of Water
Water is essential for all living things.It comes from many places. Let’s learn about some of them!
Rivers
rivers are large, flowing bodies of water. They often flow into lakes,oceans,or other rivers. Think of the mighty Amazon River!
Lakes
Lakes are large bodies of water surrounded by land. They can be formed in many ways, like by rivers, glaciers, or volcanoes. Have you ever seen a gorgeous lake?
Wells
Wells are holes dug into the ground to reach underground water.We use pumps or buckets to get the water out. Imagine drawing water from a well using a bucket!
Rain
Rain is water that falls from the sky. It’s a very critically important source of water for many places. Remember to collect rainwater carefully!
Boreholes
Boreholes are deep wells drilled into the ground to find water. They are frequently enough used where surface water is scarce. These are very deep wells!
Streams
Streams are smaller than rivers. They frequently enough flow into rivers or lakes. Think of a small stream flowing through a forest.
Reservoirs
Reservoirs are artificial lakes made by damming rivers. We use them to store water for drinking, farming, and other things. These are man-made lakes.
These include:
These are just some of the places where we find water.Remember that water is precious and we must protect our water sources!
