Where does water go after we are done with it?

Question

If you were to trace the places a water droplet would go from your shower.......

Answer 1

Well, you have three possible situations:

One: You live in a remote area where there is no plumbing.
Shower water comes from a storage tank of some kind,
gets sprayed onto your body, and falls to the ground where
it is absorbed by the dirt and gravel of the local soil. Eventualy
that water will either be evaporated by the sun or trickle down
through the soil and join what we call the ground water table
that lies beneath the surface of the soil. In some areas the
water table is only a few feet under the soil. In others it is far
down in the earth.If enough people in your family took showers,
maybe the water formed a small stream that flowed down the hill into a nearby creek, then to a river, and finally into the ocean.

Two: You live in an area where Septic Tanks are used to capture and treat waste water. If that is your case, the shower water droplet would go down the drain and into the septic tank. In the tank the water droplet would move through the system and out into the drain field. Exiting the drain field the water drop would be filtered by the dirt, sand, and rocks in the soil as it sank down to the local water table.

Three: If you live in a city where they have sewers installed, then the plumbing in your house or apartment is probably connected to the sewer system. The water droplet would flow down the drain, through your plumbing and into the sewer system. Your sewer system may or may not have collection and ageing ponds to filter waste materials out of the sewage water. From the sewer the water runs off into the nearest creek, river, or bay water. From there it eventually goes into the sea.

Answer 2

Evaporate and re condense as rain, we have been using the same water over and over since time began!

Answer 3

well if you have ever heard of evaperation then you will know.When we are done using water it evaporates and becames our air.
