Across
  1. 1. water flows more slowly and may spread out across a wider area
  2. 3. water that flows over the ground surface rather than infiltrate into the soil
  3. 9. implementing water saving technologies and practices
  4. 11. excessive withdrawal of water for agculture industrial, or domestic use can deplete water sources
  5. 12. regulation, and habitat provision.
  6. 16. includes rivers,lakes,and reservoir. essential for drinking, agriculture and recreation
  7. 22. create stragegies to address issues such as pollution,overuse,and habitat disruption
  8. 23. water stored in aquifers beneath the earths surface. it is accessed through wells and is a critical resource for drinking water and irrigation
  9. 25. typically have numerous small streams that merge into larger rivers
  10. 26. smaller streams or rivers that flow into a larger one
Down
  1. 2. the process by which water enters the soil and becomes groundwater
  2. 4. contaminants from industrial activities, agciculture
  3. 5. engage with local stakeholders and educate the public on water conseration
  4. 6. an area of land that drains into a particular water body
  5. 7. channel the primary pathway through which water flows
  6. 8. indentify local water sources and evaluate their current condition
  7. 10. strategies to protect and mange water reasources, including sustainable practices and reducing pollution
  8. 13. the source of the river or stream
  9. 14. areas where water accumlates and slowly iniltrates into the ground or evaporates
  10. 15. the continous movement of water through the atomsphere surface and key process. key process include evaporation, condensation, precipitation
  11. 17. reusing water in various ways applications to reduce demand
  12. 18. harvesting collecting and storing rainwater for future use
  13. 19. the end point where the watershed drains into a larger body of water
  14. 20. Benefits provided by natural systems, including clean water,
  15. 21. impact water flow is influenced by the slope of the land. steep areas result in faster flowing water,while flatter areas allow slower movement
  16. 24. a geological formation that can store and transmit groundwater
