Differentiate between water quality characteristics of surface water and ground water resources.

Surface water and groundwater are two distinct sources of water with varying characteristics, each influenced differently by environmental factors and human activities. Here's a comparison of their water quality characteristics and how they are managed:

Surface Water:

Surface water refers to water found in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. It is directly exposed to the atmosphere and subject to surface runoff, erosion, and human activities. The characteristics of surface water include:

1. Susceptibility to Pollution: Surface water is more vulnerable to pollution from various sources such as industrial discharges, agricultural runoff, and urban runoff (e.g., stormwater).
