Chapter 6 - Runningwater and Groundwater
28
Water Cycle : the journey water takes as it circulates from the land to the sky and back again
Infiltration : permeation of a liquid into something by filtration.
Transportation : is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves
Gradient: an increase or decrease in the magnitude of a property (e.g., temperature, pressure, or concentration) observed in passing from one point or moment to another.
Stream Channel : A stream channel is the path for water and sediment flowing within the stream banks
Discharge : the action of discharging a liquid, gas, or other substance.
Tributary : a river or stream flowing into a larger river or lake
Base Level : river or stream is the lowest point to which it can flow.
Bed Load : bed load describes particles in a flowing fluid (usually water) that are transported along the bed
Alluvium : a deposit of clay, silt, sand, and gravel left by flowing streams in a river valley or delta, typically producing fertile soil.
Delta : variation of a variable or function.
Natural Levee : a deposit of sand or mud built up along, and sloping away from, either side of the floodplain of a river or stream. Also called levee.
Floodplain : an area of low-lying ground adjacent to a river, formed mainly of river sediments and subject to flooding.
Flood : an overflow of water that submerges land which is usually dry.
Drainage Basin : catchment basin is an extent or an area of land where all surface water from rain, melting snow, or ice converges to a single point at a lower elevation
Divide : a wide divergence between two groups, typically producing tension or hostility.
Zone of Saturation : is the area in an aquifer, below the water table, in which relatively all pores and fractures are saturated with water.
Ground Water : water held underground in the soil or in pores and crevices in rock.
Water Table : the level below which the ground is saturated with water.
Porosity : is the quality of being porous, or full of tiny holes. Liquids go right through things that have porosity
Permeability : the state or quality of a material or membrane that causes it to allow liquids or gases to pass through it.
Aquifer : a body of permeable rock that can contain or transmit groundwater.
Spring : a resilient device, typically a helical metal coil, that can be pressed or pulled but returns to its former shape when released, used chiefly to exert constant tension or absorb movement.
Geyser : a hot spring in which water intermittently boils, sending a tall column of water and steam into the air
Well : A water well is an excavation or structure created in the ground by digging, driving.
Artesian Well : A well drilled through impermeable strata to reach water capable of rising to the surface by internal hydro static pressure
Cavern : vast, dark space.
Travertine : white or light-colored calcareous rock deposited from mineral springs, used in building.
Karst Topography : a landscape formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum.
Sinkhole : a cavity in the ground, especially in limestone bedrock, caused by water erosion and providing a route for surface water to disappear underground.
