liquid) is kept in reserve, for later use.channel- the bed of a stream, river, or other waterway. hydrosphere- the water on or surrounding the surface of the globe, including the water of the oceans and the water in the atmosphere. pore space- erosional-the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water, glaciers, winds, waves, etc. sinkholes- A natural depression in a land surface communicating with a subterranean passage, generally occurring in limestone regions and formed by solution or by collapse of a cavern roof. subterranean-existing, situated, or operating below the surface of the earth; underground. precipitation-the amount of rain, snow, hail, etc., that has fallen at a given place within a given period, usually expressed in inches or centimeters of water. groundwater-the water beneath the surface of the ground, consisting largely of surface water that has seeped down: the source of water in springs and wells. evaporate-to change from a liquid or solid state into vapor; pass off in vapor. impervious-not permitting penetration or passage; impenetrable:belt of soil moisture-Water in the belt of soil water. Also known as rhizic water; soil moisture. infiltration-the seepage of water into soil or rock.transpiration-the passage of watery vapor from a living body through a membrane or pores zone of saturatrion-A subsurface zone in which all the pores or the material are filled with groundwater under pressure greater than atmospheric pressure.water table-the planar, underground surface beneath which earth materials, as soil or rock, are saturated with water. capillary fringe-is the subsurface layer in which groundwater seeps up from a water table by capillary action to fill pores.surface tension-the elasticlike force existing in the surface of a body, esp. a liquid, tending to minimize the area of the surface, caused by asymmetries in the intermolecular forces between surface molecules. zone of aeration-Zone of Aeration is where pore spaces in soil and rock contain air and water, and water is prevented from moving deeper by water tensiontopography-The description of the regions of the body or of a body part, especially the regions of a definite and limited area of the surface. permeability-the capability of a porous rock or sediment to permit the flow of fluids through its pore spaces. gaining streams-Streams that receive groundwater discharge are gaining streams losing streams-Streams that lose water to the adjacent aquifer are known as losing streams. saturated zone-encompasses the area below ground in which all interconnected openings within the geologic medium are completely filled with water.pore spaces-The spaces within a rock body that are unoccupied by solid material. ||
 * Reservoir-A reservoir is, most broadly, a place or hollow vessel where something (usually

Springs-water released from the Earth’s surface Annual runoff-runoff that occurs every year Discharge- release from Earth’s surface Perched water table- surface where the ground water pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure Hot springs- hot water released from the surface to specific area Thermal-rising air in the atmosphere Geysers-tunnels underground containing hot water Well-tunnel in the ground Irrigation- helps process water to the soil Fluctuate-when air in the atmosphere goes up and down Drawdown-a pump that takes water from the ground Depression- sunken or depressed landform below the surrounding area Cone of depression-cone shaped area that is sunken Hydraulic gradient-determines where groundwater will go Heterogeneous-two different types of rocks or sediments

Artesian-contains groundwater Friction-when two things slide past each other Non flowing artesian well- Flowing artesian well- Springs-area of water that comes is made from groundwater coming to the surface Conduits-passes water from one place to another Recharge-where water moves downward from surface water to groundwater Equilibrium-when a rock wall is straight Non renewable-not able to reuse Subsidence-motion of surface going downward Unconsolidated sediments-where water doesn’t allow passage through rock Homogenous-two same segments or rocks
