Across
  1. 6. is an underground layer of water-bearing material, consisting of permeable or fractured rock, or of unconsolidated materials
  2. 8. fresh water (from rain or melting ice and snow) that soaks into the soil and is stored in the tiny spaces (pores) between rocks and particles of soil
  3. 11. measures the response of a watershed to a rain event
  4. 13. the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere
  5. 14. rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.
  6. 15. allowing liquids or gases to pass through it.
  7. 16. the dissolved salt content of a body of water
  8. 17. A drainage divide, water divide, ridgeline, watershed, water parting or height of land is elevated terrain that separates neighboring drainage basins.
  9. 19. an area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water such as a river, lake, wetland or ocean
  10. 22. a piece of freshwater ice more than 15 m long that has broken off a glacier or an ice shelf and is floating freely in open water.
  11. 23. occurs when the water on the surface of the sea becomes denser than the water beneath it and so it sinks
  12. 24. is a well that brings groundwater to the surface without pumping because it is under pressure within a body of rock and/or sediment known as an aquifer
  13. 25. excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen.
Down
  1. 1. not allowing fluid to pass through.
  2. 2. naturally occurring salty water, especially seawater, or water to which salt has been added.
  3. 3. a rising of seawater, magma, or other liquid.
  4. 4. the artificial application of water to the soil through various systems of tubes, pumps, and sprays
  5. 5. is the rapid mixing of lake water
  6. 7. naturally occurring water that is not salty, and is suitable for consumption if clean or processed.
  7. 9. is the upper surface of the zone of saturation
  8. 10. the conversion of a vapor or gas to a liquid.
  9. 12. natural exit point at which groundwater emerges out of the aquifer and flows onto the top of the Earth's crust to become surface water
  10. 18. the weight of a substance for a specific volume
  11. 20. breeding, raising, and harvesting fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants
  12. 21. the process of turning from liquid into vapor.
