Question

What are US water resources?

Answer 1

The United States has multiple sources of water.

Explanation:

The United States has multiple sources of water that vary depending on geographic location. Some of our water comes from ground water, much of the freshwater the US uses is surface water (streams, lakes, etc), springs are another source, as is rainfall. The Great Lakes hold 1/5th of the planet's freshwater, so they are a valued and important water resource.
