- 2. A structure created in the ground to access groundwater for extraction or observation.
- 3. A geological formation that can store, transmit, and yield significant amounts of groundwater.
- 5. The study of the distribution, movement, and quality of groundwater in the Earth's crust.
- 8. The combined process of water evaporation from surfaces and transpiration from plants.
- 10. The property of a material having uniform properties in all directions.
- 13. The volume of water flowing out of a system, such as a spring, well, or river, over a specified period.
- 14. A measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, which influences groundwater movement.
- 17. layer of rock or sediment that is impermeable, preventing groundwater flow
- 18. Refers to an aquifer that receives or loses water through adjacent layers due to incomplete confinement.
- 19. Water entering a system, such as an aquifer, stream, or reservoir.
- 20. The volume of water an aquifer releases or stores per unit area per unit change in hydraulic head
Down
- 1. The ability of a material (e.g., soil or rock) to transmit water through its pores or fractures.
- 4. The proportion of a material's volume that consists of empty spaces, which can hold water or air.
- 6. Water from precipitation that flows over the land surface into rivers, lakes, or oceans.
- 7. Water that fills the spaces and cracks in underground soil and rock layers.
- 9. A layer of rock or sediment with low permeability that restricts groundwater flow
- 11. Water released from the atmosphere as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
- 12. The ability of an aquifer to transmit water horizontally through its entire thickness.
- 15. Water exiting a system, such as discharge from an aquifer, river, or reservoir.
- 16. The portion of streamflow that originates from groundwater seeping into rivers or streams.
