flat =Responsibilities= 2 members will be assigned from your group to enter the information collected from this station: Well- Hole that is drilled into Aquafer and then pumped up for use City Water- get water from a well, stream, or reservoir Spring- water comes from an Aquafer out of the earth naturally Reservoir- water that is stored in an area like Cloe Lake

When rain comes down to the earth, it can either be absorbed by land or it can runoff to create a stream. Then the water, if absorbed, goes down to the sandstone or other hard rock. These rocks have small pores in them that allows the water to go through them. The water then reaches the bedrock where it can't go down through and starts to collect. This is what is known as an Aquifer. If a forest is put on top then the water can be absorbed more easily (like a sponge).

When it rains water either runs off or is absorbed by the ground. wells work by drilling through the rock to the impermial rock layer and getting the water gathered there when the water runs off it goes into streams and streams and flow into reservoirs which are man made lakes. these can all be used as sources of water for towns and cities The cleanest place to get water is a forest because of the living organisms in the soil.
 * Group 2**

There are 4 places to store water, Wells, city water, springs, and reservoirs. It rains and the rain can either run off into streams or other bodies of water or it can be absorbed by the ground. The top layer acts as a sponge. After it slowly reaches the rock layers of mostly coal and limestone, it will seep into deeper grounds until it reaches places of wells or springs.

Water: Well City- wells, stream, reservoir Spring Water bottles

Water comes down from the sky and gets absorbed in the land and goes down to the where it can’t be absorbed anymore. It builds up and a tube sticks out and creates a spring that water comes out of. The spring falls into a little ditch creating streams and rivers. The water that doesn’t get absorbed runs off down to a little stream or river.

Well - a hole drilled in the ground Spring - water coming naturally City water - Well; stream; reservoir - man made spot to hold water Rain - form of presipitation; it can either be absorbed, run off, or become another body of water Most land is made up of sandstone, within it at are pours that water can slowly move through Water shed - When rain falls on it the water goes into a bigger body of water Forrest floor - Sandstone and clay (doesn't decompose) The top layer are made up of decaying organisms and could probably go back up to 5 years. It can take pollutants such as urine and take it and use it to metabolize (Such as nitrates) The best water comes from a forest watershed

The area around Jackson Run is a Hemlock forest, but in a few years a lot of Hemlocks will be destroyed by the Wooly Adelgid. Water sources for people include springs, wells, reservoirs, and stream intake. A reservoir is a man made body of water that holds water for a specific purpose. Water gets into wells and springs when water falls as precipitation. This water then soaks into the ground and into the sandstone, which is our bedrock. This creates an aquifer, a collection of water underground where the water will eventually run out into a spring. If the rainwater hits an impervious surface, which cannot absorb water, such as parking lots or roofs, then the water will run directly into streams, etc., bringing pollution with it. If water does not hit an impervious surface, it will soak into the peat, which is the first level of ground that contains decomposing organic matter. In watersheds, forests will give the highest quality water because the plants can filter out pollution. Pollution into a stream or aquifer can be caused by a diesel spill, well blow-out, rusted well casing, or strip mining, which can create red water because of iron deposits.

3 types of water sources (man made) To make a well there is a whole drilled in the ground and a pump to draw the water out that has reached the point where it needs an exit and can not penetrate anymore and pumps it into a tank to hold and then direct the water to a desired area.

-Spring (comes from rain water. It can either be absorbed by the ground or run off) When it rains outside there are two options for the water. It can run off of the current area to somewhere else or be absorbed. Rocks have pores in them that allows water to slowly move through them over a period of time. Underneath us there is large amounts of sandstone, some rain absorbs into this and it slowly moves down to the area where the coal is and it can no longer penetrate any further. The water is then forced to find an exit which is called a spring.

When water is not absorbed and flows across the land it is called sheet flow, this is how we get erosion. Water moving across the ground has energy so it can move sediments, fertilizers, organic matter, garbage, rocks, and trees. An impervious surface is one that water can not penetrate these would be such as cement, roof, and pavement. This is the worst material for a watershed cover. Organic Matter can absorb pollutants and not let them pass through to our water supply this is things such as leaves, sticks, dirt, mud, clay. The best cover for a water shed is a forest and gives us the best drinking water.
