Clues

  • All forms of moisture that reaches the Earth's Surface (13)
  • Rivers are constantly changing over time to reach a state of balance with the processes that determine their form. As the flows of energy and materials passing through a river system vary, the river changes to move towards this equilibrium. (7, 11)
  • The deeper movement of water through the underlying rocks. (11, 4)
  • The loss of water from a drainage basin into the atmosphere from the leaves of plants + loss from evaporation (18)
  • The portion of the perimeter of a stream channel cross-section that is in contact with water. (6, 9)
  • The ratio of the cross-sectional area of a channel and the length of its perimeter (9, 6)
  • The time interval at which particular levels of flooding occur. (10, 8)
  • The total amount of water, including vapour, in an unsaturated soil. (4, 8)
  • The total volume of water held on the Earth's surface in lakes, ponds and puddles. (7, 7)
  • The wearing away of the banks or bed by sediment carried by the river. (17)
