• There are plants growing, and the ground is moist all the time.

When treating water, where would you find sludge?

• in the water we drink

• filtered to the bottom during treatment

• in the groundwater before it comes to the treatment plant

• in the pipes that water travels through after being treated

How do people get groundwater to the surface?

• make groundwater hot to make steam rise

• pump it out of the wells

• put large sponges into wells

• find it in sinkholes
