aquifer

• the draining away of water (or substances carried in it) from the surface of an area of land,

• water contained in oceans and seas that has a high level of dissolved salt

• the area of land where surface water drains when the ground is unable to absorb it

• underground rock layer that contains a vital source of water for human consumption and use

precipitation

• rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground

• valuable water resource on Earth; provides drinking water

• the area of land drained by a river and its branches

• the process of turning from liquid into vapor
