- How does water flow? Which direction? (Use your model as an example)

3. Use specific textual evidence from this project to write at least three paragraphs that are 7-9 sentences each describing the following:
- How humans affect the hydrosphere
- How the hydrosphere affects humans
- Why the good health of humans requires monitoring the hydrosphere, having water quality standards for factors such as pH, nitrate/phosphate levels, bacteria, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen, maintaining safe water quality, and being good stewards of our waterways?
- Hint: Use the prompts as your topic sentences.
