10. Work in groups and discuss your opinions. Can your group reach an agreement? Read the quotation of the famous hydrogeologist b.L.Lichkov and share your ideas.
“The circulation of natural water on the planet, although not as yet completely understood, must be recognized by all as critically significant for hydrogeology, and for the land areas; the primary significance must be given to their moisture content. Thus, a new hydrogeology must be constructed on three principles – the unity of water, its circulation, and the moisture content of the land. In a word, the circulation of water is one of the cornerstones of modern hydrogeology”
(B.L.Lichkiov)
STAGE 1 – group work responding to problem discussion. During these stage, each group will discuss the problem separately.
STAGE 2 – sharing ideas of response to the problem. One person from each group should move to another; so that each group has a member with different information. Now the members of each new group share their ideas.
STAGE 3 – now each of you should jot down all the information you remember.
