Clues

  • A measure of sewage pollution based in the presence of the faecal bacterium E. coli. (8, 5)
  • A measure of the rate at which a fluid, such as water, can flow through rock. (12)
  • Condensation of atmospheric water vapour that reaches the Earth’s surface in any liquid or solid form. (13)
  • Precipitation that does not reach the ground because it lands on vegetation. (12)
  • The area of land that collects water, which will flow down to the lowest point, e.g. a river, lake, aquifer or the sea. (9, 4)
  • The average length of time that a molecule remains in a reservoir. (9, 4)
  • The loss of water by evaporation from the stomata of leaves. (13)
  • The loss of water, especially from crop roots, caused by the low water potential of soils with a high salt content. (7, 11)
  • The movement of water through the pore spaces and fissure in permeable rocks. (11, 4)
  • The volume of material moved from on reservoir to another. (8, 4)
