Ponds,lakes,marshes

Surface water is that contained in streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, swamps, marshes, and springs. Approximately 0.014% of the water on Earth is found on continental land, while the rest is contained in the oceans and ice caps, glaciers, permanent snow, groundwater, and as water vapor in the atmosphere. [Pg.100]

This product is toxic to fish, shrimp, crab, birds, and other wildlife. Keep out of lakes, streams, ponds, tidal marshes, and estuaries. Shrimp and crab may be killed at application rates. Do not apply where these are important resources. [Pg.367]

Habitat In, or very near, waterways, lakes, ponds, ditches, and in marshes and swampy places. [Pg.96]

Surface water can be defined as any river, lake, stream, pond, marsh, or wetland as ice and snow and as transitional, coastal, and marine water naturally open to the atmosphere. Major matrix properties, distinguishing water types from each other, are hard and soft water, and saline and freshwater. Groundwater is typically defined as water that can be found in the saturated zone of the soil. Groundwater slowly moves from places with high elevation and pressure to places with low elevation and pressure, such as rivers and lakes. Partitioning interactions of the groundwater with the solid soil matrix is an important factor influencing the fate of toxicants. Physicochemical properties of water that may affect toxicity of chemicals in all water types are listed in Table 2.2. [Pg.36]

Recreational use (e.g., lakes and ponds, fisheries, snowmaking, marsh enhancement)... [Pg.290]

Geographic setting and climate. The Everglades of Florida is the largest peat area in the Gulf Coastal Plain, but there are many similar smaller marshes. Some of these are filled water basins some border lakes, ponds and wooded streams and others are accumulations built up on sandy plains or, as in the case of the Everglades, on bedrock near sea level. The rainfall is heavy and the climate subtropical and humid. [Pg.600]
