captured by plants and then
it returns to the atmosphere
via evaporation or
sublimation is referred to as

receives runoff,
throughflow, and
groundwater flow is called

runoff has accumulated in a
low spot relative to the
surrounding countryside

_ is the contamination of
water bodies by nutrients
which can be harmful to
organisms and plants

is where surface water
runoff has accumulated in a
low spot relative to the
surrounding countryside

A record of flow over time is
called

is the surface flow of water
to areas of lower elevation

The more the
available, the greater the

the stream flow must be
measured at
stages

falls from the atmosphere
unto the earth's surface
with a diameter of 0.5mm

The more the
available, the greater the
rate if evapotranspiration

Throughflow of water within
the soil normally takes
place when the soil is
staurated with

is common to mid and high
