Across
- 2. –the percentage of the total volume of a rok or sediment tat consists of open spaces
- 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.
- 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.
- 11. – An underground geological formation, or group of formations, containing water. Are sources of groundwater for wells and springs.
- 12. – A place where water from the street flows into. Water that is deposited here flows directly to lake, river, or ocean.
- 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.

- 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. –the accumulation of pollutants at higher and higher levels of the food chain
- 3. –all the bodies of fresh water, salt water, ice, and snow that are found above the ground
- 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.
- 6. –a process of removing salt from ocean water
- 8. – The total land area that contributes water to a river, stream, lake or other body of water.
- 9. –the ability of a rock or sediment to let fluids pass through its open spaces or pores
- 10. – The entire body of salt water that covers more than 70 percent of the earth's surface.
