1. what percent of earths water is fresh? 3%
2 more water falls on the earths surface False than evaporates
3. the hydrological cycle is driven by what? solar energy
4. what is the body of a porous rock? aquifer
water table top of the saturated zone (elevation/depth)
ogalla aquifer -**GROUND WATER MINING *** - largest fresh water aquifer in
NA
