  2. Freshwater ecosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freshwater_ecosystem

    Freshwater ecosystem. Freshwater ecosystems are a subset of Earth's aquatic ecosystems that include the biological communities inhabiting freshwater waterbodies such as lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, springs, bogs, and wetlands. [1] They can be contrasted with marine ecosystems, which have a much higher salinity. Freshwater habitats can be ...

  3. Evaporator (marine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporator_(marine)

    The distillation system for boiler feedwater at this time was usually termed an evaporator, partly to distinguish it from a separate system or distiller used for drinking water. Separate systems were often used, especially in early systems, owing to the problem of contamination from oily lubricants in the feedwater system and because of the ...

  4. Open and closed lakes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_and_closed_lakes

    An open lake is a lake where water constantly flows out under almost all climatic circumstances. Because water does not remain in an open lake for any length of time, dissolved solids do not accumulate, and such lakes are usually fresh water. Open lakes form in areas where precipitation is greater than evaporation. Because most of the world's ...

    The water system has a storage capacity of 550 billion US gal (2.1 billion m 3) and provides over 1.2 billion US gal (4.5 million m 3) per day of drinking water to more than eight million city residents, and another one million users in four upstate counties bordering on the system.

    A freshwater lens on an island. In hydrology , a lens , also called freshwater lens or Ghyben-Herzberg lens , is a convex-shaped layer of fresh groundwater that floats above the denser saltwater and is usually found on small coral or limestone islands and atolls.

  7. Oceanic freshwater flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_freshwater_flux

    Oceanic freshwater fluxes are defined as the transport of non saline water between the oceans and the other components of the Earth's system (the lands, the atmosphere and the cryosphere). These fluxes have an impact on the local ocean properties (on sea surface salinity , temperature and elevation ), as well as on the large scale circulation ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_food_web

    In the diagram above on the right: (1) ammonification produces NH 3 and NH 4 + and (2) nitrification produces NO 3 − by NH 4 + oxidation. (3) under the alkaline conditions, typical of the seabird feces, the NH 3 is rapidly volatilised and transformed to NH 4 + , (4) which is transported out of the colony, and through wet-deposition exported ...

  9. Water supply network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_network

    Connections to the sewers (underground pipes, or aboveground ditches in some developing countries) are generally found downstream of the water consumers, but the sewer system is considered to be a separate system, rather than part of the water supply system. Water supply networks are often run by public utilities of the water industry.
