Surface Water Bodies

Surface water bodies are natural or artificial water collections visible on the Earth's surface, such as lakes, rivers, ponds, and reservoirs. They play a vital role in supporting ecosystems, providing water for drinking, agriculture, industry, and recreation. These bodies of water are influenced by weather, rainfall, and human activities, and they interact with groundwater, influencing the overall water cycle. Maintaining the quality and quantity of surface water is essential for environmental health, human well-being, and economic activities. Proper management helps prevent pollution, conserve water resources, and ensure their sustainability for future generations.
