OSSF INSTALLER 1 QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
ANSWERS GRADED A+
In the hydrologic cycle, water moves by evaporation and
transpiration into the
Atmosphere
evaporation where it comes in contact
Why is acceptable quality water vital?
No resource in Texas or elsewhere is more valuable than
water. Acceptable quality water is not only vital in sustaining
human life, but is also vital in sustaining the natural
environment and the economic life of Texas.
Ground water that is obtained via a well can be used for
Drinking, industrial, or agricultural
, Water table aquifer vs artesian
Water table aquifer - direct contact with either soil or the
intermediate belt
Artesian aquifer - overlaid by a layer of impervious material
that recieves little or no recharge throigh this confining layer
Static water level
Level at which water stands in a well
Two categories of sources of pollutants in surface water
Point source pollution
Nonpoint source pollution
Point source vs non point pollution
Point source comes from specific locations through discharge
structures (pipes or ditches). Can be monitored, controlled,
and inspected
Nonpoint source is intermittent, dispersed flow that escapes
from pollution sources with little or no control
