  1. 2. A structure created in the ground to access groundwater for extraction or observation.
  2. 3. A geological formation that can store, transmit, and yield significant amounts of groundwater.
  3. 5. The study of the distribution, movement, and quality of groundwater in the Earth's crust.
  4. 8. The combined process of water evaporation from surfaces and transpiration from plants.
  5. 10. The property of a material having uniform properties in all directions.
  6. 13. The volume of water flowing out of a system, such as a spring, well, or river, over a specified period.
  7. 14. A measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, which influences groundwater movement.
  8. 17. layer of rock or sediment that is impermeable, preventing groundwater flow
  9. 18. Refers to an aquifer that receives or loses water through adjacent layers due to incomplete confinement.
  10. 19. Water entering a system, such as an aquifer, stream, or reservoir.
  11. 20. The volume of water an aquifer releases or stores per unit area per unit change in hydraulic head

  1. 1. The ability of a material (e.g., soil or rock) to transmit water through its pores or fractures.
  2. 4. The proportion of a material's volume that consists of empty spaces, which can hold water or air.
  3. 6. Water from precipitation that flows over the land surface into rivers, lakes, or oceans.
  4. 7. Water that fills the spaces and cracks in underground soil and rock layers.
  5. 9. A layer of rock or sediment with low permeability that restricts groundwater flow
  6. 11. Water released from the atmosphere as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
  7. 12. The ability of an aquifer to transmit water horizontally through its entire thickness.
  8. 15. Water exiting a system, such as discharge from an aquifer, river, or reservoir.
  9. 16. The portion of streamflow that originates from groundwater seeping into rivers or streams.
