Across
- 3. A salt lake or saline lake is a landlocked body of water that has a concentration of salts.
- 4. a large natural stream of water flowing in a channel to the sea, a lake, or another such stream.
- 7. a large natural or artificial lake used as a source of water supply.
- 10. water added to the aquifer through the unsaturated zone after infiltration and percolation following any storm rainfall event.
- 11. areas where standing water covers the soil or an area where the ground is very wet.
- 12. is a thick subsurface layer of soil that remains frozen throughout the year, occurring chiefly in polar regions.
- 14. surface runoff of rainwater, landscape irrigation, and car washing created by urbanization.
- 15. occurs when water molecules change phase from liquid to vapor at the air–sea interface.
- 16. the total amount of water, including the water vapor, in an unsaturated soil.
Down
- 1. water occurring in a natural environment that has more salinity than freshwater, but not as much as seawater.
- 2. contains water that is not salty, usually in contrast to the sea.
- 5. the draining away of water (or substances carried in it) from the surface of an area of land, a building or structure, etc.
- 6. water held underground in the soil or in pores and crevices in rock.
- 8. primarily the result of wind pushing on the surface of the water and density differences between water masses.
- 9. a mass of snow on the ground that is compressed and hardened by its own weight.
- 13. water that results from the melting of snow.
