|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| channelization | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A type of off-stream water use. This water is consumed by plants and animals or in industrial processes or evaporates during use. It is not returned to its source.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The removal of salts from seawater or brackish water so that the water can be used for purposes such as agriculture, industrial processes, or human consumption.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Type of stream where flow is maintained during the dry season by groundwater seepage into the channel.
🗑
|
||||
| groundwater | show 🗑
|
||||
| influent stream | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A type of water use that includes navigation, generation of hydroelectric power, fish and wildlife habitat, and recreation.
🗑
|
||||
| off-stream use | show 🗑
|
||||
| overdraft | show 🗑
|
||||
| sustainable water use | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Inputs and outputs of water for a particular system (a drainage basin, region, continent, or the entire Earth).
🗑
|
||||
| show | Practices designed to reduce the amount of water we use.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Comprehensive term for landforms such as salt marshes, swamps, bogs, prairie potholes, and vernal pools. Their common feature is that they are wet at least part of the year and as a result have a particular type of vegetation and soil.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Acidic water that drains from mining areas (mostly coal but also metal mines). The acidic water may enter surface water resources, causing environmental damage.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Treatment of wastewater beyond primary and secondary procedures. May include sand filters, carbon filters, or application of chemicals to assist in removing potential pollutants such as nutrients from the wastewater stream.
🗑
|
||||
| biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) | show 🗑
|
||||
| bioremediation | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Human-induced eutrophication that involves nutrients such as nitrates or phosphates that cause a rapid increase in the rate of plant growth in ponds, lakes, rivers, or the ocean.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Effects that result from interactions among different species, effects of species on chemical elements in their environment, and conditions of the environment.
🗑
|
||||
| environmental law | show 🗑
|
||||
| eutrophication | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Standard measure of microbial pollution and an indicator of disease potential for a water source.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Sources of pollutants that are diffused and intermittent and are influenced by factors such as land use, climate, hydrology, topography, native vegetation, and geology.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A sudden occurrence, usually refers to a disease or disorder.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Sources of pollution such as smokestacks, pipes, or accidental spills that are readily identified & stationary. They're often thought to be easier to recognize and control than are area sources, but that is not always the case. See text for more info.
🗑
|
||||
| primary treatment | show 🗑
|
||||
| secondary treatment | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Applying wastewater to the land. In some cases, treated wastewater is applied to crops, and as the water infiltrates through the soil layer it's naturally purified. The water's reused by pumping it out of the ground for municipal or agricultural uses.
🗑
|
||||
| wastewater treatment | show 🗑
|
||||
| water reuse | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A relative measure of the amount of oxygen that is carried in a given medium.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The movement of saline water into freshwater aquifers. Most often, it's caused by groundwater pumping from coastal wells, or from construction of navigation channels or oil field canals. Can also occur as a result of a natural process like a storm surge
🗑
|
||||
| show | The rapid excessive growth of algae, generally caused by high nutrient levels and favourable conditions. Can result in deoxygenation of the water mass when the algae die, leading to the death of aquatic flora and fauna.
🗑
