Hint
Answer
Water availability falls below 1000m³ per person
Water Scarcity
Water is taken up by plants and is formed onto the leaf surface
Transpiration
Water entering the top soil
Infiltration
The downward seepage of water through rock under gravity
Percolation
A situation where pressure systems and weather patterns reverse in the Southern hemisphere
El Nino
The amount of water that could be evaporated and/or transpired from an area if there was sufficient water available
Potential Evapotranspiration
The summation of all water on the land surface and in the subsurface (store)
Terrestrial
Where larger rivers cross several different relief and climate zones (river regime)
Complex
When gaseous water transforms to liquid state
Condensation
Consumption exceeds 10% of its renewable freshwater supply
Water Stress
Where a river experiences a period of seasonally high discharge followed by low discharge (river regime)
Simple
Air is forced upwards due to the relief of an area. This air cools and condenses, falling as rain. (Rainfall)
Orographic
Ways in which water accelerates under gravity
Gravitational Potential Energy
When 'normal' pressure systems and weather patterns intensify
La Nina
Thermal energy from the sun causes air to rise into the atmosphere. This cools, condenses and falls as rain (Rainfall)
Convectional
Hint
Answer
The only open system in the water cycle where local factors control the throughput of water through a local store.
Drainage Basin
The amount of water usually available within a particular region
Base flow
The conversion of water to vapour
Evaporation
The summation of all water in the seas and oceans (store)
Oceanic
The hidden flow of water when food or other commodities are traded
Virtual Water
Flow of water over the surface when the ground is saturated, frozen or impermeable
Surface runoff
The combined effect of evaporation and transpiration
Evapotranspiration
Release of water in liquid state
Precipitation
Temporary storage as water is captured by plants, buildings and hard surfaces before reaching the soil
Interception
Precipitation (P) = Streamflow (Q) +Evapotranspiration (E) Changes in storage (S)
Water Balance
When cold air meets a weather front, warm air rises above cold air which then cools and condenses, falling as rain. (Rainfall)
Frontal
The store of water in gas state (store)
Atmospheric
The store of water in solid state (store)
Cryospheric
The flow of hot and cold water around the oceans
Thermohaline Circulation
The amount of precipitation remaining after evapotranspiration
Effective Rainfall
