Humans destroy non-renewable sources everyday in many ways. Possibly the most prominent and destructive depletion is that of the Earth's oil reverve, everyday burning through thousands of barrels of oil. Oil, as well as coal, is also used in the production of power, creating heat to boil water, creating steam, turning turbines and therefore generating power. Also these fossil fuels are used to create energy to destroy some of the products we have created, i.e. plastics. It is a viscous circle of destruction.

How do human activities affect groundwater and surface water in a watershed?

The earth's water supply stays the same but humans can alter the cycle. As population increases, and living standards rise this can increase the demand for water. This can create an imbalance and change the quality and quantity of the water. Humans impact the water cycle by polluting the water in rivers, streams, reservoirs etc. So they can impact it less by reducing trash that goes into storm drains.We are polluting it with harmful chemicals and disgusting substances. Technically we as humans cannot alter the water cycle, however, we can mess it up by dumping waste into the ocean.A:When we talk about the water cycle moving water vapor in and out of the atmosphere, there are no human activities that can affect that. Water vapor will still evaporate into the atmosphere whether the ground water is dirty or clean.
