OSSF Installer question with answers
In the hydrologic cycle, water moves by evaporation and transpiration into the - -
Atmosphere
-evaporation where it comes in contact - -
-Ground Water - -The term refers to water that collects beneath the surface of the
earth in porous, permeable, water-bearing geologic formations or aquifers.
-Surface water - -refers to water that is found above ground in containment areas,
such as lakes, rivers, streams, creeks, and reservoirs.
-Water table aquifers are recharged by - -Local percolation
-Sepage pits - -
-sepage pits - -Rock-filled or lined pits dug at least 4 feet deep at the end of a
septic tank absorption field system are called
-Cess pools - -Pits constructed in permeable soil with open-jointed material along
the sides to the bottom of the pit that receive a direct discharge of raw wastewater
are called
-How are waterborne diseases transmitted? - -Microorganisms (pathogens) that live
in the intestine are passed in the feces and get into the water supply
-What are the three primary routes of contamination for pathogenic
microorganisms and harmful chemicals from on-site sewage systems to our
environment? - -Neighborhood pollution
Groundwater contamination
Surface water pollution
-What problems are a result of neighborhood pollution? - -Diseases that can be
spread by direct or indirect contact with the standing wastewater.
Vectors, such as roaches and flies, that can also spread diseases after coming in
contact with the wastewater.
Unsightly and unpleasant living conditions that result from the standing wastewater
and odors.
Feuds and bad relationships between neighbors that can result from the
wastewater problems.
Property values drop and real estate transactions fall through. No one benefits and
everyone suffers when neighborhoods are fouled by wastewater.
