Water cycle and managing stormwater
Water cycle: (Precipitation, infiltration, runoff, evaporation, condensation, transpiration)
watershed / Surface water / Ground water
Ground water: (Zone of saturation, zone of aeration, confined aquifer / unconfined aquifer, water table, active well, dry well, perched water table, spring, cone of depression, salt water intrusion, subsidence)
Storm-water: (impervious surface, levees. flood control dam. tree planting/removal. connected / non-connected run-off, natural vs urban creek profile, rain garden, cistern)
