Hey guys, so I had a question in science and I was hoping someone could check my work. Thanks!
Drag each statement to the correct category to show whether it impacts the quality or quantity of water. Statements may be used once or not at all.
Quantity of Water Quality of Water
|Water is withdrawn from low-supply areas.|
|Methane makes the water supply flammable.|
|The high water pressure generates small-scale earthquakes.|
|Water mixed with chemicals leaches into groundwater.|
I think for Quantity of Water:
|The high water pressure generates small-scale earthquakes.|
|Water is withdrawn from low-supply areas.|
I think for Quality of Water:
|Methane makes the water supply flammable.|
|Water mixed with chemicals leaches into groundwater.|
Am I correct?

I'm taking the same assignment right now. I'll let you know if it is correct or not.
I also have the same assignment. Can you guys help me out with this one? :
Drag each item to indicate whether is describes a water-wise city of a city that is wasteful.
Water-Wise Cities Wasteful Cities
|full resources and energy used for wastewater treatment.|
|low percentage of stormwater separation.|
|almost all waste dumped in landfills.|
|water management integrated into urban planning.|
|local communities promote sustainable decision making.|
|local communities lack environmental awareness.|
anyone know the answer?
Hi Merlana! Let's check your work together. To determine whether each statement impacts the quantity or quality of water, we need to understand the meaning of each statement.
Let's go through the statements one by one:
1. "Water is withdrawn from low-supply areas."
This statement refers to the withdrawal or extraction of water from areas where the water supply is already low. This directly affects the quantity of water available in those areas.
You correctly identified this statement as impacting the quantity of water.
2. "Methane makes the water supply flammable."
This statement refers to the presence of methane in the water supply, which can render the water flammable. This affects the quality of water because it introduces a potential hazard.
You correctly identified this statement as impacting the quality of water.
3. "The high water pressure generates small-scale earthquakes."
This statement refers to the impact of high water pressure on the occurrence of small-scale earthquakes. While this may have other potential consequences, it does not directly impact the quantity or quality of water.
So, your categorization for this statement is incorrect.
4. "Water mixed with chemicals leaches into groundwater."
This statement refers to the mixing of water with certain chemicals, which then seep into the groundwater. This has a direct impact on the quality of water by introducing potentially harmful substances.
You correctly identified this statement as impacting the quality of water.
Based on this analysis, let's revise the categorization:
For the Quantity of Water category:
- "Water is withdrawn from low-supply areas."
For the Quality of Water category:
- "Methane makes the water supply flammable."
- "Water mixed with chemicals leaches into groundwater."
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
