water table
the upper layer at which the pore spaces and fractures in the ground becomes saturated
1 of 9
water balance
used to express the process of water storage and transfer
2 of 9
flood hydrograph
shows the levels of precipitation and discharge in rivers
3 of 9
wate budget
shows the annual balance inputs and outputs in the water cycle and their impact on the soil water storage
4 of 9
bank full discharge
the maximum capacity of the river before it overflows
5 of 9
soil moisture utilisation
evaporation exceeds precipitation and some of the soil moisture is used
6 of 9
soil moisture deficit
evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation and the soil loses all of its water
7 of 9
soil moisture recharge
when precipitation exceeds evapotranspiration and the soil moisture increases -only when the moisture is not at capacity
8 of 9
soil moisture surplus
when the soil moisture reaches maximum capacity and surface runoff increases
