Contaminants in the Water Cycle
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/lessons/14/g912/tgsouhegan.html


Students will review the water cycle and investigate how the water supply of a region can become contaminated. They will look at an Environmental Protection Agency list of the maximum contaminant levels for drinking water, and sketch the water cycle of a fictitious town that is affected by several pollutants. Students will conclude by writing paragraphs explaining what a group of concerned citizens in this hypothetical town might do to improve the quality of its water supply.
