Water Vocab 1 Practice

Measures the clarity of water. Higher levels reduce sunlight, lower dissolved oxygen, and affect marine animals by clogging their gills.

• pH

• Turbidity

• Infiltration

• Water Table

Measures how acidic or basic (alkaline) a substance is.

• Bioindicators

• Aquifer

• Turbidity

• pH

All the water on or near the Earth's surface

• The Hydrosphere

• Aquifers

• Water Table

• Water shed

All the land that drains water to a specific location (river, creek, lake, or ocean)

• Water Table

• Aquifer

• River Basin

• Water Shed

A collection of many water sheds that drain to a specific river.

• Water Table

• Hydrosphere

• River Basin

Pollution that's source can be identified easily from a single location.

• point source pollution

• Non-point source pollution

• Infiltration

• Transpiration

The level of the water below the surface where groundwater will first appear when digging

• Aquifer

• Water Table

• Water shed

• Infiltration

What is water stewardship?

• the job of caring of the local water system by using good habits and preventing pollution

• A ship that Steward owns?

• Polluting the water regularly because we're bored or careless

• I don't know, why did you ask me?

Pollution that is widespread and hard to find the cause of.

• Infiltration

• point source pollution

• non-point source pollution

• Eutrophication

It can increase due to moving water, lower water temperatures, and aquatic plant photosynthesis. I will decrease due to higher turbidity levels, and warmer temperatures.

• BioIndicators

• Dissolved Oxygen

• pH

• Eutrophication
