Hydrogeology: The study of the interrelationships of geologic materials and processes with water, especially ground water.
Interception: The process by which precipitation is captured on the surfaces of vegetation before it reaches the land surface.
Interflow: Lateral movement of water in the vadose zone during and immediately after a precipitation event.
Isotropy: The condition in which hydraulic properties of the aquifer are equal in all directions.
Cementation: The process by which some of the voids in a sediment are filled with precipitated materials, such as silica, calcite, and iron oxide, and that is a part of diagenesis.
Density: The mass or quantity of a substance per unit vol-ume. Units are kilograms per cubic meter or grams per cubic centimeter.
Diagenesis: The chemical and physical changes occurring in sediments before consolidation or while in the environment of deposition.
Discharge: The volume of water flowing in a stream or through an aquifer past a specific point in a given period of time.
Evaporation: The process by which water passes from the liquid to the vapor state.
Anisotropy: The condition under which one or more of the hydraulic properties of an aquifer vary according to the direction of flow.
Aquiclude: A low-permeability unit that forms either the upper or lower boundary of a ground-water flow system.
Aquifer: Rock or sediment in a formation, group of forma-tions, or part of a formation that is saturated and sufficiently permeable to transmit economic quantities of water to wells and springs.
Permeameter: A laboratory device used to measure the intrinsic permeability and hydraulic conductivity of a soil or rock sample.
Piezometer: A nonpumping well, generally of small diame-ter, that is used to measure the elevation of the water table or potentiometric surface. A piezometer generally has a short well screen through which water can enter.
Porosity: The ratio of the volume of void spaces in a rock or sediment to the total volume of the rock or sediment.
Runoff: The total amount of water flowing in a stream. It in-Rational equation The equation used to predict the peak clouds overland flow, return flow, interflow, and baseflow.
Transmissivity: The rate at which water of a prevailing density and viscosity is transmitted through a unit width of an aquifer or confining bed under a unit hydraulic gradient. It is a function of properties of the liquid, the porous media, and the thickness of the porous media.
