Summary Introduction
To determine:
Threats to the water cycle associated with human activities.
Introduction:
Water cycle is important for life on this planet. Water we use today comes from many ways but the water itself goes through a specific pathway which includes space above and below the earth’s surface and also various forms of water like
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
Impact of human activities on water cycle could be drastic.
- Urbanization- with the increase in population the human activities increase and this lead to more vegetation loss from the surface. Building concrete floor wouldn't allow water to soak into the land and this interrupt water cycle.
- Groundwater mining- makes groundwater level go down and affects water cycle.
- Irrigation- Withdrawal of water from various water bodies like lakes, pond, river for irrigation also affects the water cycle.
- Hydroelectricity- building up artificial reservoirs like dams over rivers to produce electricity, changes direction of the water flow and evaporation rate which affects water cycle
- Deforestation
- Cloud seeding
Conclusion
Human needs water for their day to day activities and for the survival but doing such affects the normal water cycle. Any change we do on water cycle can lead to devastating climate change.

Q8. A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant
women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their
pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants:
One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo
medication. In this study what are:
Independent variable:
Dependent variable:
Control variable:
Experimental group: "
Control group:
If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills.
This study is
It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months.
The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out. What type of bias is there in this study?
If the company who makes the medication funds this research, what type of bias might exist in this
research work?
