  • A graph of discharge of a river over the time period when the normal flow of the river is affected by a storm event. (5, 10)
  • Amount of water vapour present in a body of air relative to the maximum amount of water vapour it could contain at that temperature. Usually expressed as a percentage. (8, 8)
  • The area of land where water and melted ice flows into a lake, sea or river. (8, 5)
  • The flow of water from the soil to the atmosphere via plants. (13)
  • The point on a storm hydrography where the river discharge is at its greatest (4, 9)
  • The steady, balanced state of a system (7, 11)
  • The water locked up on the earths surface as ice (11, 5)
