1. This is the percentage of water that can only be utilized by man for use.

Less than 1%

2. This is the polarity exhibited by water.

Water is a polar molecule due to unequal sharing of electrons

3. It is the draining away of water (or substances carried in it) from the surface of an
area of land, a building or structure and others.

Runoff

4. These are those into which water seeps from the ground surface directly above the
aquifer.

Unconfined aquifers

5. This is a generally flat area of land next to a river or stream that has the potential to
flood. It stretches from the banks of the river to the outer edges of the valley.

Flood plain

6. This is the sudden sinking or gradual downward settling of the ground's surface with
little or no horizontal motion.

Subsidence

7. This is where rivers empty into seawater.

Estuaries

8. This is the largest river in the Philippines.

Cagayan River
9. This water is that which has already been used in sinks, showers, washing machines,
and dishwashers and is reused to conserve water.

Grey Water

10. This is also known as domestic/municipal wastewater since it is produced by a

community of people.

Sewage

11. The effect of this tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern
hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic
weather systems.

Coriolis Effect

12. This is an irregularly occurring and complex series of climatic changes affecting the
equatorial Pacific region and beyond every few years, characterized by the appearance
of unusually warm, nutrient-poor water off northern Peru and Ecuador, typically in late
December.

El Nino

13. This is a climate pattern that describes the cooling of surface ocean waters along
the tropical west coast of South America characterized by unusually warm ocean
temperatures in the equatorial region of the Pacific Ocean.

La Nina

14. This is a large system of rotating ocean currents.

Gyre
15. This is a constantly moving system of deep-ocean circulation driven by temperature
and salinity.

Ocean Conveyer Belt

16. These are the 2 zones of the photic zone.

Disphotic Zone / Euphotic Zone

17. This is the farming of aquatic animals or plants, including breeding, raising and
harvesting in all types of water environments in controlled conditions.

Aquaculture

18. These are unwanted fish and other sea animals caught in fishing net along with the
desired kind of fish.

Bycatch

19. This type of pollution occurs as a result of runoff. When rain or melted snow moves
over and through the ground, the water absorbs and assimilates any pollutants it comes
into contact with.

Non point source pollution

20. This is the process by which a substance is altered via photons, especially those
found in the wavelengths of the sun's rays.

Photodegradation
