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 fields.
• We waste water all the time by running water
  until its hot in the shower, or by brushing our
  teeth and letting the water run down the sink.
