Level 3: Synthesis/Evaluation
9. DRAW IT (a) Draw a simplified global water cycle showing ocean, land, atmosphere, and runoff from the land to the ocean. Label your drawing with these annual water fluxes:
■ ocean evaporation, 425 km3
■ ocean evaporation that returns to the ocean as precipitation, 385 kin3
■ ocean evaporation that falls as precipitation on land, 40 km3
■ evapotranspiration from plants and soil that falls as precipitation on land, 70km3
■ runoff to the oceans, 40 km3
(b) What is the ratio of ocean evaporation that falls as precipitation on land compared with runoff from land to the oceans? (c) How would this ratio change during an ice age. and why?

The Water Cycle
The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, is the movement of water between the ocean,
the atmosphere, land, and living things. Since the water cycle is truly a "cycle," there is no beginning
or end. Heat energy from the sun drives the water cycle. Main processes of the water cycle are
evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.

CASE STUDY CONNECTION California’s governor has put you in charge of water policy for the state. Aquifers beneath the state have been overpumped, and many wells have run dry. Agricultural production in the state is down, and farmers are clamoring for you to do something. Meanwhile, more water is needed for burgeoning urban populations in cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. What policies would you consider to restore California’s water supply? Would you try to take steps to increase supply, decrease demand, or both? Explain why you would choose such policies.

and depth to water from the surface was measured. Using the information on the map, complete
the data table. Then, using the water table elevations, draw an arrow on the map indicating the
direction of groundwater flow.

The two main government agencies at fault are the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and the Environmental Protection Agency, they failed to properly monitor and respond to the major issues that came up involving the water quality, despite receiving very early evidence of there being contamination (Sullivan, 2017). Although others, including city officials and water treatment personnel, share some blame, it was the systemic failures within governmental bodies that allowed the crisis to escalate. Regaining public trust after a significant blow requires transparency, accountability, and meaningful action. Being transparent with the public involves providing accurate information, and letting the public be fully aware of the inter-workings of governmental agency actions. Being accountable involves acknowledging past mistakes, such as putting out a statement admitting fault to how…arrow_forward
