A naturally occurring water on the Earth's surface in bogs, ponds, lakes, rivers and streams, and underground as groundwater in aquifers and underground streams.

water from a sea or ocean. On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5%. This means that every kilogram (2.2lb), or every litre, of seawater has approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salts

This describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.

A type of vaporization of a liquid, that occur only on the surface of a liquid.

The change of the physical state of aggregation (or simply state) of matter from gaseous phase into liquid phase and the reverse of evaporation.

Any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that is pulled down by gravity and deposited on the Earth's surface.

The line separating neighboring drainage basins (catchments).

An extent of land where water from rain and melting snow or ice drains downhill into a body of water, such as a river, lake, reservoir, estuary, wetland, sea or ocean.

The movement of something into, through and out of a place, the rate at which a thing is depleted and replaced.

A large piece of ice from freshwater that has broken off from a snow-formed glacier or ice shelf and is floating in open water.

an increase in the concentration of chemical nutrients in an Ecosystem to an extent that increases the primary productivity of the ecosystem.

Water located beneath the ground surface

rock and sediment water can flow through

the level at which the groundwater pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure.

an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock

any natural occurrence where water flows on to the surface of the earth from below the surface.

a confined aquifer containing groundwater that will flow upward through a well

Question	Answer
Fresh Water	A naturally occurring water on the Earth's surface in bogs, ponds, lakes, rivers and streams, and underground as groundwater in aquifers and underground streams.
Salt Water	water from a sea or ocean. On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5%. This means that every kilogram (2.2lb), or every litre, of seawater has approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salts
Water Cycle	This describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.
Evaporation	A type of vaporization of a liquid, that occur only on the surface of a liquid.
Condensation	The change of the physical state of aggregation (or simply state) of matter from gaseous phase into liquid phase and the reverse of evaporation.
Precipitation	Any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that is pulled down by gravity and deposited on the Earth's surface.
Divide	The line separating neighboring drainage basins (catchments).
Drainage Basins	An extent of land where water from rain and melting snow or ice drains downhill into a body of water, such as a river, lake, reservoir, estuary, wetland, sea or ocean.
turnover	The movement of something into, through and out of a place, the rate at which a thing is depleted and replaced.
iceberg	A large piece of ice from freshwater that has broken off from a snow-formed glacier or ice shelf and is floating in open water.
euthrophication	an increase in the concentration of chemical nutrients in an Ecosystem to an extent that increases the primary productivity of the ecosystem.
groundwater	Water located beneath the ground surface
permeable	rock and sediment water can flow through
impermeable	no water can flow through
water table	the level at which the groundwater pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure.
aquifer	an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock
spring	any natural occurrence where water flows on to the surface of the earth from below the surface.
artesian wall	a confined aquifer containing groundwater that will flow upward through a well
