  3. 7. water that has been used in homes, industries, and businesses that is not for reuse unless it is treated.
  4. 9. the removal of salts from saline water to provide freshwater / water that contains less than 1,000 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of dissolved solids
  5. 10. pollution discharged over a wide land area, not from one specific location
  6. 11. a barrier constructed to hold back water and raise its level
  7. 16. places where water infiltrates into the ground and replenishes the aquifers
  8. 18. a measure of the water-bearing capacity of subsurface rock
  9. 20. a barrier constructed to hold back water and raise its level

  1. 1. 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
  2. 3. a disease-producing agent; usually applied to a living organism
  3. 4. the movement of salt water into freshwater aquifers
