Water Resources Engineering Chapter 2
19
Lakes:are large inland bodies of water formed naturally
Reservoirs:are manmade lakes formed by damming rivers . Used to store and control water
Groundwaterrecharge:Water added to groundwater usually through percolation down through the soil to the water table
Groundwaterdischarge:Water lost from groundwater usually through springs, streams, and rivers
Evaporation:loss of liquid water from land and water surfaces as it is converted to a gas (water vapor)
Transpiration:liquid water moving from soil through a plant and evaporating from the leaves
Evapotranspiration:combination of evaporation and transpiration
Condensation:cooling of water vapor (gas) until it becomes a liquid
Climate:is the long-term average state of the atmosphere for a region. Changes very slowly under normal circumstances
GlobalAirCurrents:Caused by the uneven heating of the Earth
CoriolisForce:causes winds to diverge
ITCZ:Inter Tropical Convergence Zone
Dendrochronology:the study of tree rings
Weather:is the local, short-term state of the atmosphere
Precipitation:occurs when a local portion of the atmosphere becomes saturated with water vapour, so that the water condenses and "precipitates".
Runoff:the flow of water, from rain, snow melt, or other sources, over land
Drought:a period of abnormally dry weather which persists long enough to produce a serious hydrologic imbalance
RelativeHumidity:percentage of water vapor (water in the gas form) in the air
ColdFronts:occur where cold air masses collide with warm air
FlashFloods:occur with little or no warning
