1 ECOLOGY PROJECT: Freshwater Biomes A Report Of: Jeremiah Lorenzo D. Frejas Mario Vinz Epino

2 What is freshwater? Freshwater biomes are filled with water that is not salty. There are two kinds of freshwater biomes. Rivers and streams have slow- moving or still water. Less wildlife grows in rivers and streams because it is washed away by the current of water. Some freshwater animals have adapted to living in rivers so they are not carried away by the current. Fish swim upstream, other creatures hold onto rocks using suckers or slime.

3 There are two ways of how fresh water move.  Slow-moving: Less wildlife grows in rivers and streams because it is washed away by the current of water.  Still water: Some freshwater animals have adapted to living in rivers so they are not carried away by the current.

4 Animals found: Fish Turtle Crocodiles Frogs What Animals or Organism Are Found In Freshwater? Underwater plants need to stay close to the water's surface so sunlight can reach them. Some freshwater plants, such as water lilies, grow flowers and leaves that float on the water's surface.

5 Rivers – The biggest form of fresh water Rivers convey the excess waters of the land areas that they drain to larger bodies of water or directly to the oceans. Collectively, they represent the world's water resources, as they carry virtually all the water that is available for human management and use. In the Philippines, famous rivers are Marikina River, Cagayan River.

6 Lakes – are inland bodies of standing water. Lakes are good source of drinking water. They are habitat to many fishes. In the Philippines, the most popular lakes are Laguna the Bay, 7 lakes of Laguna and Taal Lake.

7 Waterfalls – Often visually spectacular, a waterfall occurs at a vertical or nearly vertical section of a river channel. Mostly found at the end of rivers. In the Philippines, famous falls are Maria Cristina Falls and Pagsanjan Falls.
