Summary
The emphasis in Lesson 2 on precipitation and surface flows was to gain familiarity with how these sources are generated, and how they become essential resources for both aquatic ecosystems and human use. Having completed the readings and reviewed the PPT lectures, circle back to the introductory page of Lesson 2 and make sure you can explain the basic aspects listed under Learning Outcomes, as well as the bolded terms through the lesson.
It's now time to move on to Lesson 3 and continue to assimilate additional knowledge about freshwater sources - this time, focusing on groundwater. For Assignment 3.1, you'll be applying your knowledge about precipitation, surface water, and groundwater and using it to create a hydrologic cycle for a geographic area near to your home base.
Reminder - Complete all of the Lesson 2 tasks!
You have reached the end of Lesson 2! Double check the to-do list on the Lesson 2 Overview page to make sure you have completed all of the activities listed there before you begin Lesson 3.
