Most people don't realize that there are three different types of water: utility grade, working grade and drinking water. It's helpful to be aware of these different types of water so that we understand how they are used and to better educate us on water usage.

The difference is all about collocation. We use one word in some contexts, and another in other situations. A canal is an artificial, i.e. man-made, river. A channel is natural, like the English Channel between Britain and France.

There are three main types of passive transport: Simple diffusion – movement of small or lipophilic molecules (e.g. O2, CO2, etc.) Osmosis – movement of water molecules (dependent on solute concentrations) Facilitated diffusion – movement of large or charged molecules via membrane proteins (e.g. ions, sucrose, etc.)

Dams and Canals are forms of hydro-engineering, which fundamentally alters the landscape by changing the way in which water flows. The reasons may be for transportation, for creating arable land, or for hydroelectricity.

There are three main types of conventional hydropower technologies: impoundment (dam), diversion, and pumped storage. Impoundment is the most common type of hydroelectric power plant. An impoundment facility, typically a large hydro-power system, uses a dam to store river water in a reservoir.

Mechanisms. There are two general types of water scarcity: physical and economic. Physical, or absolute, water scarcity is the result of a region's demand outpacing the limited water resources found there.

A channel and strait both connect bodies of water, but a channel is often wider. A sound is like a strait, but larger. A passage typically connects bodies of water between islands. However, the terms are often used interchangeably.

Inundation canal are long canals taken off from large rivers. They receive water when the river is high enough and especially when in flood. While Perennial canals are lined to dams and barrages to provide water throughout the year, and they irrigate a vast area.

There are many types of freshwater ecosystems. Rivers, lakes, ponds and streams are the most common freshwater sources. Reservoirs, wetlands and groundwater sources are also considered freshwater ecosystems.

There are several different types of water erosion, but they can generally be grouped into four main types. These are inter-rill erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion, and streambank erosion. Inter-rill erosion, also known as raindrop erosion, is the movement of soil by rainfall and its resulting surface flow.

Water transport is the cheapest and suitable means for transporting goods, conducting trade among different countries, importing and exporting goods. Rivers, lakes, seas, etc. are free gifts provided by nature. So, no additional expense is needed to construct waterways like roads and railway construction.

Commonly, rivers often flow in only one direction. ... Conversely, rivers are bodies of water with land masses, or long stretches of land bordering their sides. Due to this, they are seen to be far longer than lakes. Unlike the sea, lakes and rivers are usually fresh water in nature.

Rivers are split up into three parts: the upper course, the middle course, and the lower course. The upper course is closest to the source of a river. The land is usually high and mountainous, and the river has a steep gradient with fast-flowing water.

The different modes of transport are air, water, and land transport, which includes Rails or railways, road and off-road transport. Other modes also exist, including pipelines, cable transport, and space transport.
