Spray Fields

There is a spray field here in
Tallahassee located on Tram Rd. They
have all types of things including
different holding ponds where they hold
all of the water that they may get from
other spray fields or water that they
clean.
Recycling Water

Water is recycled by going to Spray Fields, they use
the water for watering grass, and plants. They are
also thinking about putting this type of water in
homes so that they can water their plants, and grass
to make it look better, but you CANNOT drink this
water.

While recycling is a term generally applied to
aluminum cans, glass bottles, and newspapers, water
can be recycled as well. Water recycling is reusing
treated wastewater for good purposes such as
agriculture and landscaping.
Drinking Water

The water you get from your faucet can come
from two places, from lakes or rivers which is
also called surface water, or from water that
comes from wells which is groundwater.

Many people who live in large cities or towns
get their water from lakes and rivers. But,
most people in the United States get their
drinking water from groundwater.
Groundwater Quality

Just because you have a well that gives
plenty of water doesn't mean you can go
ahead and just take a drink. Because water is
such an excellent mixture it can contain lots
of bad chemicals.

Since ground water moves through rocks,
and subsurface soil it has a lot of opportunity
to dissolve substances as it moves. For that
reason, ground water will often have more
bad substances than surface water will.
Groundwater cont.


Even though the ground is an excellent
source for removing bad chemicals such as
leaves, soil, and bugs, bad chemicals and
gases can still occur in large enough portions
in ground water to cause problems.
Underground water can get contaminated
from household and industrial chemicals, and
agricultural chemicals from the surface. This
includes chemicals such as pesticides and
herbicides that many homeowners apply to
their lawns.
Waste Water



You do not drink waste water.
Waste water is mainly sent to spray field’s.
We waste water all the time by running water
until it’s hot in the shower, or by brushing our
teeth and letting the water run down the sink.
