  • Least expensive form of distribution is precipitation
  • Hydrologic cycle- movement of water through four separate processes: precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, and solar energy
  • Groundwater provides 60 percent of the total water supply to Texas

Pollution

  • Many polluted waters are a direct result of air pollution
  • Pollution can be controlled
  • We must do our part to reduce pollution
  • Improper animal waste management is a cause of pollution

Climate

  • Climate is the average course of the weather during a period of years
  • Weather is the conditions outside right now
  • Climate sets limits for agricultural production
  • Moisture and water are crucial elements to the climate
