What is the difference between a Lagoon, Lake & Pond?
353355
Lagoon- A shallow body of water, especially one separated from a sea by sandbars or coral reefs. \nA shallow body of liquid waste material, as one in a dump. \n\nLake-A large inland body of fresh water or salt water. \nA scenic pond, as in a park. \nA large pool of liquid: a lake of spilled coffee on my desk. A pigment consisting of organic coloring matter with an inorganic, usually metallic base or carrier, used in dyes, inks, and paints. \nA deep red. \n\nPond-A still body of water smaller than a lake.

It depends on your source of water.  Rainwater, wastewater, pond water, and well water all go through different steps.\n\nThe things that need addressed in one manner or another are particulates (usually cleaned out by a filter in the beginning stages of the process), bacteria and larger life forms (also many of which can be be filtered out with finer filters), and chemicals (usually removed by reverse osmosis or by charcoal or some other cleansing chemical process).\n\nThere are a lot of sources out there.  I have listed a few of them below.  Good luck.

h2o , aqua, agua, eau ,wasser, hydrogen oxide.\n\nalthough those are foreign words for water, they have uses in english eg eau d'cologne, aqua vitae etc\n\nmaybe also \nsea, rain, lake,river, ice, snow,pond, pool,brook,steam,vapour?

1. A shallow sound, channel, pond, or lake, especially one into which the sea flows; as, the lagoons of Venice.\n\n2. A lake in a coral island, often occupying a large portion of its area, and usually communicating with the sea.

Pond larvae develop in still water, and use the extra surface area of the body and fin as aids in swimming. Stream larvae (Eurycea, Pseudotriton) are slimmer than pond larvae, with more streamlined bodies, shorter gills, and a narrower tail fin that does not extend onto the body

the Caspian Sea which is, in fact, a lake.\nreferred to as a sea, because of it's size (largest lake in the world) and also because it is saltwater and not a freshwater lake.

The climate could be anything from tropical to tundra-the freshwater biome refers to the river lake etc biome, not the climate,which varies by latitude and altitude, among other things.

well, i do know there's this blue chemical called biochemical oxygen demand(BOD) which is used to see how polluted water is from different sources. like, if you compare drain water and pond water. so if you put few drops in each water, and wait for one day, you'll realise that drain water isnt as blue as pond water coz drain water is more polluted. since there are more waste compared to pond water, so there'll be less oxygen. so yeah.

ahh, huge ponds. crazy how they separate.

A lake is a body of water completely surrounded by land

Here are a couple of great sites on pond ecosystems, including a powerpoint presentation.\n\nI hope this helps.

Typically, headwaters only experience recharge, but a local depression in the land surface can create a window into the groundwater, usually in the form of a lake or swamp.  Water here can flow downstream, and thus can add to discharge.

A river is more narrow and it usually flows. A lake is a body of water like the ocean is but much smaller, & it usually doesn't flow toward one direction like a river does.

In order of common frequency:\n\n1 ) Streams & other flowing water sources\nWhile by far the easiest access to water, many such tributaries are seasonal and not reliable (particularly during summer months when water is much more critical).\n\n2 ) Lakes & Ponds\nGenerally more stable year-round, they also have a tendency to harbor bacteria and other waterborne diseases.  This problem was usually addressed by either boiling the water or by digging a small hole a ways back from the waters' edge and allowing it to fill with water from the lake (using the earth as a filter).\n\n3 ) Shallow Wells & Hand Pumps\nPioneers learned early on to read the lay of the land in finding sources of water.  This was usually the first step in establishing a settlement or homestead, since their location was primarily dependent upon their source of water.\n\n4 ) Deep Wells & Windmills\nThese normally only came about after a sttlement was established due to the difficulties involved, though occassionally a last resort in deperate situations.

wind is the movement of air\njust like waves are the movement of water

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a web site dealing specifically with wetlands.  The site is located at http://www.epa.gov/owow/wetlands/\n\nYour state may also have information, so you may want to search your state's environmental agency.  Good luck!

A marsh is a wetland containing a diverse abundance of plant species. The biodiversity in the marsh allows waste water to be filtered through the rootsystems and the nutrients absorbed by the plants. Marshes are different from swamps in that they do not contain many woody plants like trees, but rather things like reeds, sedges and grass. These are especially good for filtering water because their root system is not divergent off of one main root, but instead a network of roots that can better spread out through the water.
