Education Water in Motion
In order to move water from one part of the state to another, engineers had to design a way to: Make water turn corners Reduce the weight of water Pump water over mountain ranges Make water flow from south to north
To transport water around the state, Califormia must rely on a series of "man-made rivers" called: Agua verde Aqueducts Desert ditches River wonders
Which of the following aqueducts supplies water to Irvine Ranch Water District? The Los Angeles Aqueduct The Colorado River Aqueduct The Califormia Aqueduct Both b and c
A reservoir is: a place where water is purified a place where water is pumped over mountains a place where water enters the home a place where water is stored until it is needed
How do we make liquid water go where we want it to? By putting it in canals and pipelines By setting up directional signs By constructing a fence By using evaporation
Before water can be used for drinking, it must be: chilled stirred filtered and purified bubbled and covered
Irvine Ranch Water District's well water (groundwater) is purified: at the Michelson Water Reclamation Plant at the Irvine Treatment Plant after it is pumped to the surface, as it enters the distribution system of pipes when it goes through the water meter
The imported water used in the Irvine Ranch Water District is purified: in Northern Califormia at the Colorado River at the Diemer Filtration Plant in Yorba Linda after it enters the distribution system of pipes under Irvine
You should never drink untreated water from a lake or stream because: It hasn't been purified and could cause you to get sick The water hasn't been though a reservoir yet There wouldn't be enough water for the forest animals It's bad for the environment
To move water throughout the community we use: pumps underground pipelines reservoirs all of the above
Before water goes from the water main in the street into your house, it passes through: a screen a filter a thermometer a water meter
The purpose of a water meter is to: measure the water temperature measure how much water you and your family have used measure the purification level determine the water's source
Water in the pipes out in the street is: cold water hot water lukewarm water there is both hot and cold water in the water main
