|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| show | An engineering technique that consists of straightening, deepening, widening, clearing, or lining
🗑
|
||||
| consumptive use | show 🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| effluent stream | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Water found beneath the Earth's surface within the zone of saturation, below the water table.
🗑
|
||||
| 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 🗑
|
||||
| show | Groundwater withdrawal when the amount pumped from wells exceed the natural rate of replenishment
🗑
|
||||
| show | Use of water resources that does not harm the environment and provides for the existence of high-quality water for future generations.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Inputs and outputs of water for a particular system (a drainage basin, region, continent, or the entire Earth).
🗑
|
||||
| water conservation | show 🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A measure of the amount of oxygen necessary to decompose organic material in a unit volume of water. As the amount of organic waste in water increases, more oxygen is used, resulting in an increase in this factor.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A method of treating groundwater pollution problems that utilizes microorganisms in the ground to consume or break down pollutants.
🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A field of law concerning the conservation and use of natural resources and the control of pollution.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Increase in the concentration of chemical elements required for living things. Increased nutrients may lead to an algal or plankton bloom that become so thick that light cannot penetrate the water. See the text for more info.
🗑
|
||||
| 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 🗑
|
||||
| wastewater renovation and conservation cycle | show 🗑
|
||||
| wastewater treatment | show 🗑
|
||||
| water reuse | show 🗑
|
||||
| dissolved oxygen (DO) | show 🗑
|
||||
| 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
🗑
|
||||
| algal bloom | show 🗑
