Across
  1. 2. –the percentage of the total volume of a rok or sediment tat consists of open spaces
  2. 4. – Storm water from city streets and adjacent domestic or commercial properties that carries pollutants of various kinds into the sewer systems and receiving waters.
  3. 7. – An area that is saturated by surface or ground water with vegetation adapted for life under those soil conditions, as swamps, bogs, fens, marshes, and estuaries.
  4. 11. – An underground geological formation, or group of formations, containing water. Are sources of groundwater for wells and springs.
  5. 12. – A place where water from the street flows into. Water that is deposited here flows directly to lake, river, or ocean.
  6. 13. – A large natural stream of water emptying into an ocean, lake, or other body of water and usually fed along its course by converging tributaries.
  7. 14. – A bored, drilled, or driven shaft, or a dug hole whose depth is greater than the largest surface dimension and whose purpose is to reach underground water supplies or oil, or to store or bury fluids below ground.
  8. 15. – To make impure or unclean by contact or mixture. To make unfit for or harmful to living things, especially by the addition of waste matter.
Down
  1. 1. –the accumulation of pollutants at higher and higher levels of the food chain
  2. 3. –all the bodies of fresh water, salt water, ice, and snow that are found above the ground
  3. 5. – The supply of fresh water found beneath the Earth's surface, usually in aquifers, which supply wells and springs. Because ground water is a major source of drinking water, there is growing concern over contamination from leaching agricultural or industrial pollutants or leaking underground storage tanks.
  4. 6. –a process of removing salt from ocean water
  5. 8. – The total land area that contributes water to a river, stream, lake or other body of water.
  6. 9. –the ability of a rock or sediment to let fluids pass through its open spaces or pores
  7. 10. – The entire body of salt water that covers more than 70 percent of the earth's surface.
