    Extractions: Earth is the "watery planet". Viewed from space it is predominantly blue, as 74 % of its surface is covered by water. Oceans contain 97 % of the earth's water while the remaining 3 % is classified as freshwater. Seventy-seven percent of this surface freshwater is stored as ice and 22% as groundwater and soil moisture. The remaining freshwater, making up less than 1 % of the world total, is contained in lakes, rivers and wetlands. You may be familiar with how water is always cycling around, through, and above the Earth, continually changing from liquid water to water vapor to ice. One way to envision the water cycle is to follow a drip of water around as it moves on its way. I could really begin this story anywhere along the cycle, but I think the ocean is the best place to start, since that is where most of Earth's water is.

    Extractions: QUAKER VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL 3317 WATER ECOLOGY (1 term course) COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is aimed at integrating marine and freshwater ecology. Application of ecological principles to the understanding of oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams and the life they support are illustrated. Topics address the interactions between pattern and process at different spatio temporal scales within aquatic ecosystems. The student involvement is through independent experimentation developed through both field and laboratory experiences. LEARNING STANDARDS Students will be able to: use physical and chemical properties to distinguish between different aquatic ecosystems distinguish between renewable and nonrenewable resources and discuss their role in contemporary society define, measure and/or calculate physical and chemical quantities apply problem-solving techniques Students will be able to: distinguish among primary producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer and tertiary consumer in both fresh and salt-water ecosystems. demonstrate by using examples, how energy is passed to all organisms in an aquatic community.

    Extractions: Drinking Water Quality : Taking Responsibility by Susan L. Conner (Illustrator), Susan L. Connor, Lloyd A. Freeman. The "hydrologic cycle" is an endless loop of water recycling itself: surface water evaporates forming clouds; the clouds produce rain, which percolates into the earth's surface to become groundwater or creates lakes and streams; the underground water and streams flow into the sea; this water again evaporates into the air. The same water is used and reused millions and millions of times. We must realize that we, too, are reusing water. It is important to understand that water from an underground source or a sparkling spring may have been used before and isn't necessarily as clean as it appears. It's time we stop taking our drinking water for granted. It's time to take responsibility for keeping our own water clean. Click here to learn more about this book

Acoustical methods are the primary remote-sensing tool in the aquatic environment. The sixth ICES Symposium on acoustics of aquatic systems will explore recent advances and the expansion of acoustical methods into a broad range of environments. New analytical techniques, new technologies, and innovative acoustical implementations are changing the way we evaluate aquatic life. This ICES Symposium, the first on this topic to be held in the new millennium, will provide a unique opportunity for the international community to take stock of this rapidly evolving field. The 2002 Symposium will review and discuss the developments in technology and understanding of acoustic methods in all these aquatic environments. Particular emphasis will be on the improvement in techniques and data processing, development of technology, assessment of current problems, and identification of future directions for study.

(Hunt). The continents are being slowly eaten away by watersheds. (Find out more about watersheds) http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~gries/watershd.htm The amounts of material carried dissolved in streams, or swept along as suspended sand or mud, down sound impressive when compared to the volume of water. The average river carries only about 140 parts per million dissolved material and perhaps 500 ppm solid particles. Each gallon of water carries only one-fiftieth of an ounce of dissolved matter and four-fiftieths of an ounce of sand and mud, but these add up to around twenty-three billion tons of continental material carried to the seas each year-more than four hundred tons of each square mile of land surface. Delta Formation (figure 1) (Hunt) Delta Sedimentary Structures (figure 2) (Hunt) At the mouth of the Mississippi River, lies a huge delta with sediment transported by the river. From the barrier inland along the coast, and reaching 10 to 60 miles inland, lies 6.5 million acre wetland complex estimated to account for 40 percent of the marsh ecosystem of the United States. (Finlayson) In the name of flood control dikes have been built along the banks of the Mississippi, and out on the delta to stabilize the shifting river mouth. In order to maintain constant open shipping channels sediments are dredged out. The river sediments that once settled on the plains are now carried far out into the Gulf of Mexico where they drop into deep water and no longer settle out on the delta wetland communities. Natural compression and organic decay are causing old sediments to subside, and sea levels to rise. Unfortunately, this is causing a loss of as much as 39 sq. miles of wetlands each year. (Finlayson)
