Where is most of the fresh water on Earth
located?
A. In the oceans
B. In the polar ice caps
C. In rivers and streams
D. In groundwater

32. 16. HOT Q:
What are two sources of fresh water used by
cities for drinking water?
A. Glaciers and lakes
B. Rivers and ocean water
C. Wetlands and polar ice
D. Aquifers and rivers

33. Let’s Practice:
1. Draw a map of an area of land
(it can be real or imaginary!)
2. Use the materials at your desk to draw and label
the following on your area of land:
Draw and label these:
Shade or mark areas where
-river -wetlands
you can find these:
-lake -estuary (be sure to make a key!!!)
-ocean -glacier
-watershed
-tributaries -town/city
-groundwater
-agricultural
land -aquifer

34. Summarizer
1. Why do you think humans don’t use glaciers and
polar ice caps for drinking water, even though
they make up MOST of the freshwater on earth?
2. Name and describe the two freshwater
resources that are below the ground.
3. Why is it important for people that live in a
watershed area to keep from using chemicals
such as fertilizers and pesticides?
4. How are wetlands and estuaries similar? How
are they different?
