### water:

Raw water
* contains bicarbonates in amounts dependent on their origin
  - varying amounts of mineral salts such as calcium, magnesium, iron and silica
* is the resource used for finished drinking water
  - term used to describe untreated water
* is treated by several methods to obtain water quality standards
  - with chemicals to allow for sedimentation of particles
  - water that has been filtered from the nearby Columbia River
* refers to the water that the boat is floating in.

### water:

Reclaimed water
* can have elevated levels of sodium and chloride.
* is highly treated wastewater that's safe for recycling
  - part of daily life in drier regions across the United States
  - sewage water that has been treated and disinfected using four different methods
  - the highly treated by-product of the County's wastewater system
  - treated sewer water that is generally used to water lawns
  - unsafe for playgrounds and other places children use
  - used for irrigation in place of our precious drinking water
  - wastewater that has gone through a high-level treatment process for reuse
  - wastewater, which has been highly treated and then made available for use
  - water that has been recovered from a waste discharge and treated
* recharges the shallow surficial aquifer with fresh water.

Recycled water
* is competitively priced Recycled water is priced at or below potable rates
  - domestic wastewater purified through primary, secondary and tertiary treatment
  - treated to be safe and free from odor
* is used for irrigation, toilet flushing and other non-drinking purposes
  - solely for landscape irrigation
* readily available alternative resource which is unaffected by weather.

River water
* flows into basins.
* has levels.

Runoff water
* Some runoff water flows into lakes
  - is trapped for periods of time, for example in lakes
* can carry pesticides in the water itself or by adsorption to eroding soil particles
  - transport chemicals and remove uniform amounts of soil from a wide area
* flows over the surface of the ground.

Safe water
* can also positively affect indoor air.
* is just as important for food preparation as for drinking
  - produced by proper execution of fundamental treatment processes
* necessity of daily life.
* protects people from getting diarrhoea diseases such as cholera and dysentery.

Saline water
* can cause considerable yield loss before symptoms of leaf burn become obvious.
* flows out of the Mediterranean and Caribbean to the Atlantic.
* has a high concentration of many different salts, including calcium and magnesium.
* is heavier than fresh water
  - mixed from density stratified pools during flow events
  - more dense than fresh water
  - used primarily as a coolant for industrial processes
* is, for instance, unusable on some soils, but viable on others.

### water:

Saltwater
* Most saltwaters contain organisms.
* Some saltwaters conduct electricity.
* Some saltwaters mix with fresh water
* are located in sea
* creeps into every sandy furrow.
* cultured pearls can be rather expensive depending on size and quality.
* have effects.
* is denser than fresh water, and everything floats more easily in denser water
  - freshwater and therefore settles at a lower level than freshwater
  - particularly harmful to units containing oil-lubricated ball bearings
* marshes here, as elsewhere, are characterized by such plants as cordgrass and needlerush.
* sometimes gets into the cracks and pore s of rock.
* wetlands that are characterized by mud or sand and daily tidal fluctuations
  - occur along many coasts
