| Eutrophication | when high nutrient loads stimulate blooms of algae in the water, in turn stimulating microbial activity. |
| Fossil Water | Water underground for thousands of years. |
| Global burden of disease | |
| Global climate change | Warming temperatures will increase evaporation from oceans and water vapor in the atmosphere and precipitation. |
| Gray water | |
| Groundwater | The supply of fresh water found beneath the Earth's surface, usually in aquifers, which supplies wells and springs. |
| Groundwater under the direct influence of surface water | |
| Hydrodynamics | The way water moves. |
| Hydrologic cycle | Water in continuous motion between rivers, lakes, evaporation from oceans, atmosphere, surface water, groundwater (less than 1% of the world's water). |
| Hydrophilic | |
| Hydrophobic | |
| hygiene | |
| indicator conceprt | |
| irrigation | the artificial application of water to the land or soil. |
| maximum contaminant level | |

| nonpoint source | Diffuse pollution sources or pollutants without a single point of origin (ie agriculture, forestry, urban, mining, dams, land disposal, city streets). |
| pandemic | |
| persistent organic pollutants | |
| point source | A stationary location from which pollutants are discharged- a single identifiable source of pollution (ie pipe, ditch, ship, factory). |

| Vector-borne disease | |
| Wastewater reuse | |
| Wastewater treatment | |
| Water availability | Whether or not a water supply is adequate given population usage of water. |
| Water distribution | |
| Water scarcity | When a resource is non-renewable and extracted faster than it can be renewed, less than 1,000m per person per year. |
| Water stress | Water supply at or below 1,700m per person per year. |
| Water treatment | Usually occurs when groundwater is not available or to remove salt from saltwater (both are costly). |
| Waterborne disease outbreaks | |
| Waterborne pathogens | |
| Watershed protection |
