Understanding Water Pollution Sources in the Triad: Stormwater Runoff and Its Impacts

In the Triad region, stormwater runoff is a major contributor to water pollution. Pollutants commonly found in this runoff include oil, grease, pet waste, fertilizers, pesticides, and sediment. Urban areas experience faster runoff compared to rural areas, where more water soaks into the ground. Understanding watersheds and river basins, like the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin, is essential for managing water resources sustainably. Differences between wastewater and drinking water treatment plants highlight the importance of proper water management. Addressing issues like drought and aquifer depletion is crucial for North Carolina’s water health.

  2. WHAT IS THE MAJOR SOURCE OF WATER POLLUTION IN THE TRIAD?

  3. WHAT IS THE MAJOR SOURCE OF WATER POLLUTION IN THE TRIAD? STORMWATER RUNOFF

  4. WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF POLLUTANTS THAT YOU WOULD FIND IN STORMWATER RUNOFF?

  5. WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF POLLUTANTS THAT YOU WOULD FIND IN STORMWATER RUNOFF? OIL AND GREASE PET WASTE FERTILIZER WEED KILLER PESTICIDES SALT SEDIMENT

  6. HOW DOES RUNOFF AFTER A RAIN IN AN URBAN AREA DIFFER FROM RUNOFF IN A RURAL AREA?

  7. HOW DOES RUNOFF AFTER A RAIN IN AN URBAN AREA DIFFER FROM RUNOFF IN A RURAL AREA? IN A RURAL AREA, THE WATER WILL RUN OFF SLOWER THAN IN AN URBAN AREA, AND MORE OF IT WILL SOAK INTO THE GROUND.

  8. WHAT IS A WATERSHED?

  9. WHAT IS A WATERSHED? ALL OF THE LAND THAT DRAINS INTO THE BODY OF WATER THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT

  10. WHAT IS A RIVER BASIN?

  11. WHAT IS A RIVER BASIN? THE WATERSHED FOR THAT RIVER

  12. WHAT RIVER BASIN ARE WE IN?

  13. WHAT RIVER BASIN ARE WE IN? THE YADKIN – PEE DEE RIVER BASIN

  15. WHAT IS A SUSTAINABLE PROCESS? A PROCESS THAT CAN BE CONTINUED AT THE SAME LEVEL FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

  16. DRAW A DIAGRAM FOR A PROCESS.

  17. RESOURCES PROCESS PRODUCTS WASTE

  18. WHAT WOULD HAVE TO HAPPEN TO MAKE THIS A SUSTAINABLE PROCESS?

  19. WHAT WOULD HAVE TO HAPPEN TO MAKE THIS A SUSTAINABLE PROCESS? YOU COULD NOT USE UP YOUR RESOURCES YOU COULD NOT GENERATE SO MUCH WASTE THAT YOU DESTROY THE ENVIRONMENT

  20. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WASTWATER TREATMENT PLANT AND A DRINKING WATER TREATMENT PLANT?

  21. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WASTWATER TREATMENT PLANT AND A DRINKING WATER TREATMENT PLANT? A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT HAS TO REMOVE MORE SOLIDS THAN A DRINKING WATER TREATMENT PLANT.

  22. WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP IN EACH?

  23. WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP IN EACH? COARSE FILTRATION TO REMOVE THE LARGE SOLIDS.

  24. WHAT IS THE LAST STEP IN EACH?

  25. WHAT IS THE LAST STEP IN EACH? DISINFECTION TO KILL ANY REMAINING BACTERIA OR VIRUSES.
