Across
  1. 4. The natural conditions in which water reaches an aquifer
  2. 7. The process in which all layers in the lake mix bringing oxygen to the benthic zone and dead matter to the littoral zone
  3. 9. The acceleration of eutrophication in lakes due to human input of nutrients from agriculture, urban areas, and the atmosphere
  4. 11. Water held in the saturated zone below the water table
  5. 13. Area where water permeates directly from groundwater into aquifer
  6. 15. Falls between the two nutrient enrichment extremes
  7. 17. Main channel of a river
  8. 18. Movement of saltwater into freshwater aquifers
  9. 19. Deep wells in which water is stored under immense pressure below impermeable rock layers
  10. 20. Away from the shore, sunlit water at the surface that extends to depths where sunlight penetrates, food and oxygen is produced here
  11. 21. Moves wind counter clockwise in Southern Hemisphere and Northern to clockwise, caused by earth's rotation
  12. 23. Newly formed lake with a small supply of plant nutrients which makes it poorly nourished; deep and has steep banks
  13. 24. Composed mainly of decomposers and detritus feeders, dead matter mainly nourishes this zone
Down
  1. 1. Impermeable rock layer above aquifer stops water from seeping directly into ground
  2. 2. Area of deep open water, too dark for photosynthesis, low oxygen levels, cooler temperatures
  3. 3. The sum of actual and rejected recharge
  4. 5. Large amount of plant nutrients which makes it well-nourished and have a high net productivity; usually shallow and has murky green or brown water with poor visibility
  5. 6. Area around aquifer where precipitation replenishes groundwater
  6. 8. The filling of groundwater aquifers by precipitation percolating deep into the Earth and saturating the pores
  7. 10. Human activities that assist in the recharging of water into aquifers
  8. 12. Cavity formed where the water table sinks due to the pumping of groundwater
  9. 14. Outer area of floodplain
  10. 16. Fluctuation of water table as water seeps into Earth
  11. 20. Area of lake near the shore, shallow sunlit waters where rooted plants stop growing
  12. 22. Gradual abrasion of land due to ice,wind and water
