water cycle : movement of water through the environment
evaporation : liquid to vapor
condensation : vapor to liquid (clouds, dew on grass)
precipitation : rain, snow, sleet, hail
transpiration : plants "sweat" at night to stay cool
percolation : movement of water into the ground
run off : water moves into storm drains, a river, etc
surface water : lakes, ponds, rivers, oceans
watershed : area of land drained by a river
groundwater : beneath the surface 22% of earth's freshwater
water table : top surface of an aquifer, can change not a constant
aquifer : Ogallala
porosity : open spaces in rocks
permeability : how fast water moves through the ground
recharge zone : an area of earth's surface where water percolates into an aquifer
irrigation :artificial way to water plants in agriculture
desalination :expensive, energy consuming way to get salt out of water near the coasts
point source : leaking tans, smoke stacks
nonpoint source : runoff, pesticides, fertilizers, salt on road
wastewater : grey water that goes down the drains
artificial eutrophication : excessive growth of algae from the overuse of fertilizers
thermal : pollution when the temperature of a body of water increases
biomagnification : build up of pollutants at higher levels of a food chain
