Precipitation with a pH less than 5.6 that forms in the atmosphere when certain pollutants mix with water vapor.

Energy and nutrient flow that increases as water moves toward the oceans (e.g., the smallest stream (primary) that ends when rivers flow into oceans).

A representation of a region on a sufficient scale to show detail, selected man-made and natural features of a portion of the land surface including its relief and certain physical and cultural features

The land area from which surface runoff drains into a stream, channel, lake, reservoir or other body of water; also called a drainage basin.

Lands where water saturation is the dominant factor determining the nature of the soil development and the plant and animal communities (e.g., sloughs, estuaries, marshes).

The scientific study of the properties, distribution and effects of water on the earth’s surface, in the soil and underlying rocks and in the atmosphere.

Water that infiltrates the soil and is located in underground reservoirs called aquifers.

The policy of constructing or creating man-made habitats, such as wetlands, to replace those lost to development.

Relating to or living in still water.

Relating to or living in actively moving water.
