  • Evaporation: the process of turning from liquid into vapour
  • Condensation: water vapour condenses to form a liquid.
  • Precipitation: The process of water falling from the atmosphere as rain, snow, sleet, or hail
  • Interception: when precipitation is caught on vegetation
  • Transpiration: vegetation releases water vapour back into the atmosphere
  • Surface run off: water flowing over the surface of the ground
  • Infiltration: Water moving into the soil through cracks in the soil from the land's surface
  • Percolation: Water moving downwards through the soil due to gravity
  • Through flow: Water soaking through the ground
  • Ground water: Water stored underground for a long period of time
