  2. 4. – Clearness of appearance.
  3. 6. – Pollution that occurs from a single source.
  4. 9. – The passage of water through a plant from the roots through the vascular system to the atmosphere.
  5. 12. – The presence of substances in a body of water, soil, or air to impair the usefulness or render it offensive to the senses of sight, taste, or smell.
  6. 13. – One of the multitudinous features that taken together make up the surface of the earth. It includes all broad features, such as plain, plateau, and mountain, and also all the minor features, such as hill, valley, slope, canyon, and alluvial fan.
  7. 15. – A stream of water bearing the waste of the land from higher to lower ground.
  8. 17. – Any broad or narrow, crested, elongated land feature that rises above or separates lowlands, plains, or valley basins.
  9. 22. – The gaseous envelope surrounding the earth.
  10. 23. – Abbreviated TDS. It is a measure of the combined content of all inorganic and organic substances contained in a liquid in molecular or ionized suspended form.
  11. 24. – An elongated, erosional depression usually occupied by a stream that has a downward slope conforming to the direction of flow of the occupying stream, and includes both bottomland and slopes.
  12. 25. – Generating electricity by conversion of the energy of running water.
  13. 27. – The process of turning a vapor into a liquid.
  14. 29. – Living in water.
  15. 31. – Hydrogen oxide. The most valuable natural resource and the most limiting factor in crop
  16. 32. – Any standing body of inland water.
  17. 33. – The shape of the ground surface as determined by such major features as hills, mountains, or large plains.
  18. 34. – Water within the earth that supplies wells and springs.
  19. 36. – The seepage of water into soil or rock.
Down
  1. 2. – The ability or power to conduct or transmit electricity.
  2. 3. – The changing of a liquid to a gas.
  3. 5. – The pointed top of a mountain or ridge.
  4. 7. – In relation to water, changing from a liquid to a solid.
  5. 8. – A geologic formation or structure that transmits water in a sufficient quantity to supply the needs for a water development.
  6. 10. – Pollution that is diffuse in both origin and in time and points of discharge, and depend heavily on weather conditions such as rainstorms and snowmelt. Pollutants can originate from natural source areas as well as areas affected by people’s activities.
  7. 11. – Flowing water from a natural or artificial channel.
  8. 14. – The artificial application of water to soil for the purpose of increasing plant production.
  9. 16. – A dense, compacted layer of soil under the surface that may interfere with the downward penetration of both roots and water.
  10. 18. – The amount of oxygen present in water in a dissolved state.
  11. 19. – The point where two streams meet.
  12. 20. – Cloudiness of water caused by the presence of colloidal matter or other finely divided suspended matter.
  13. 21. – The amount of water, hail, sleet, snow, or other moisture received from clouds.
  14. 26. – An undesirable substance that is present, but is not intentionally added.
  15. 28. – The downward movement of water through the soil in response to the pull of gravity.
  16. 30. – In relation to water, changing from a solid to a liquid.
  17. 35. – The total stream discharge of water, including both surface and subsurface flow.
