Which of the following an example of surface water resource ? Correct Answer Lake

The correct answer is Lake.

  • Surface water is water located on top of the Earth's surface such as rivers, creeks, and wetlands.
  • Surface water is the collection of water on the ground or in a stream, river, lake, wetland, or ocean.
  • Surface water is naturally replenished by precipitation and naturally lost through discharge to evaporation and sub-surface seepage into the groundwater.
  • Surface water participates in the hydrologic cycle, or water cycle, which involves the movement of water to and from the Earth’s surface.

Key Points

  • All types of liquid surface waters are considered rivers, reservoirs, lakes, bogs.
  • The basic terms used to describe these surface water bodies are defined. Their types and classifications are given, and data are presented on the largest rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.
  • The main uses of surface water include drinking water and other public uses, irrigation uses, and for use by the thermoelectric-power industry to cool electricity-generating equipment.
  • Surface water originates mostly from rainfall and is a mixture of surface run-off and groundwater.

Additional Information

Surface Water Ground Water
Surface water is the water that is available on land in the form of rivers, oceans, seas, lakes, and ponds.  Groundwater is the underground water that seeps into the soil and is located in large aquifers under the ground.

Consider a computer system with multiple shared resource types, with one instance per resource type. Each instance can be owned by only one process at a time. Owning and freeing of resources are done by holding a global lock (L). The following scheme is used to own a resource instance: function OWNRESOURCES(Resource R) Acquire lock L / / a global lock if R is available then Acquire R Release lock L else if R is owned by another process P then Terminate P, after releasing all resources owned by P Acquire R Restart P Release lock L end if end if end function Which of the following choice(s) about the above scheme is/are correct?

Bottled water is drinking water (e.g., well water, distilled water, mineral water, or spring water) packaged in PET Bottle or Glass Water Bottles. Bottled water is comprehensively regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a packaged food product. By law, the FDA regulations for bottled water must be at least as stringent as the Environmental Protection Agency standards for tap water. What inference can be drawn from the above passage?
A three-star medicine is prepared by mixing two type of fluids (A & B) in ratio of 1 : 4. Fluid A is prepared by mixing two type of water, water M and water N in ratio of 4 : 5. Fluid B is prepared by mixing two type of water, water X and water N in ratio of 3 : 7. The final mixture is prepared by 675 units of three-star medicine with water Y. If the concentration of the water N in the final mixture is 60%, then how much water Y had been added to three-star medicine?
