Water resources :)))

1. where water spills when it overflows its normal channel
3. the native fauna and flora of region
5. action of filtering debris or particles
7. type of aquifer that gets little to no recharge
8. a scientist that studies water and its movements
11. stores rain from drainage and runoff
13. evaluated proposal for 970 kil. pipeline
14. land from which surface runoff drains into a particular stream, lake, wetland, or other body of water
15. dammed water that creates an artificial lake
16. heating saltwater until it evaporates and condenses as freshwater
19. ratio between irrigation and source

2. process of removing dissolved salts from ocean water or from brackish water in aquifers or lakes
4. groundwater from the aquifer flows out of the ground onto land or onto lake bottoms through exit points
6. precipitation infiltrates the ground and percolates downward through spaces in soil, gravel, and rock until an impenetrable layer of rock or clay stops it
9. artificial channel conveying water
10. water that contains very low levels of dissolved salts
12. underground caverns and porous layers of sand, gravel, or rock through which groundwater flows
15. 39% of all precipitation
17. uses high pressure to force saltwater through a membrane filter with pores small enough to remove the salt and other impurities.
18. structure built across a river to control its flow
