In this activity, you need to categorize statements as either impacting the quantity or quality of water.
1. Methane makes the water supply flammable:
- This statement impacts the **quality** of water. Methane in water can lead to contamination, affecting its quality by making it unsafe for consumption due to the flammable nature of methane.
2. Water is withdrawn from low-supply areas:
- This statement impacts the **quantity** of water. When water is withdrawn from low-supply areas, it reduces the overall amount of water available in those areas, affecting the quantity of water resources.
3. Water mixed with chemicals leaches into groundwater:
- This statement impacts the **quality** of water. When water is mixed with chemicals and leaches into groundwater, it can contaminate the water source, affecting its quality and making it unsafe for consumption or other uses.
By categorizing these statements based on whether they affect the quantity or quality of water, you can better understand how different factors can impact the overall availability and safety of water resources.
