- 11. water attaching to something
- 14. Table. Soil and rock saturated with water.
- 15. The concentration of dissolved salts present in a body of water.
- 17. Mix of solute and solvent
- 18. The process where a body of water becomes overly enriched with nutrients, leading to excessive plant and algae growth.
- 19. The measure of relative clarity of a liquid, caused by suspended solids that block light.
