Across
  1. 5. the downward movement of water into the soil surface
  2. 6. the gravity flow of water within soil
  3. 7. evaporation from plant leaves
  4. 12. water coming into the system
  5. 13. the storage of water underground in permeable rock strata
  6. 14. the total volume of water held on the Earth’s surface in lakes, ponds and puddles
  7. 15. water flowing downhill through permeable rock above the water table
  8. 18. water running down a plant stem or tree trunk
  9. 19. lateral movement of soil water downslope. It’s much slower than overland flow
Down
  1. 1. all forms of moisture that reach the Earth’s surface
  2. 2. the water held in a river or stream channel
  3. 3. storage water taken up by vegetation. It is all the moisture in vegetation at any one time
  4. 4. water stored in the system
  5. 8. when precipitation lands on buildings, vegetation and concrete before it reaches the soil
  6. 9. the movement of water within the river channel. This is also called a river’s discharge
  7. 10. water that reaches the channel largely through slow throughflow and from permeable rock below the water table
  8. 11. discharge the amount of water that passes a given point, in a given amount of time
  9. 16. water moving from one place to another
  10. 17. water leaving the system
