The way for a person to enter a lake usually with a boat. In a limnological sense, that depth at which the water remains uniform in temperature, or is "stagnant". Of or relating to the bottom waters of the ocean depth. Reservoir water that moves through seams or pores in the dam's natural Abutment material and exists as seepage. Right and left abutments are designated as one looks downstream. An artificial abutment is sometimes constructed as a concrete gravity section to take the thrust of an Arch Dam where there is no suitable natural abutment.
The part of a valley side wall against which a dam is constructed. Also referred to as Packed Tower, Spray Tower, or Tray Tower. Water is passed over the packing material in a countercurrent fashion, i.e., in a direction opposite to the passage of the air, and the air contaminants are then absorbed into the liquid. (Air Quality) An air pollution control device in which contaminated air is passed through a tower containing substances (packing) possessing large surface area. The loss of water by Infiltration or Seepage into the soil during the process of priming, i.e., during the initial irrigation of a field generally expressed as flow volume per unit of time. (3) More generally, the process by which substances in gaseous, liquid, or solid form dissolve or mix with other substances. (2) The uptake of water or dissolved chemicals by a cell or an organism (as tree roots absorb dissolved nutrients in soil). (1) The entrance of water into the soil or rocks by all natural processes, including the infiltration of precipitation or snowmelt, gravity flow of streams into the valley alluvium into sinkholes or other large openings, and the movement of atmospheric moisture. The zero value of thermodynamic temperature, or 0 Kelvin (K), also equivalent to -273.15 Celsius (C) on the Centigrade Temperature Scale or -459.67 Fahrenheit (F) on the Fahrenheit Temperature Scale.Ī material capable of taking in a substance, such as oil, as a sponge takes up water. Compare to Relative Humidity.Ī temperature expressed on the thermodynamic scale, measured from Absolute Zero, or 0 Kelvin (K), also equivalent to -273.15C or -459.67F. The actual weight of water vapor contained in a unit volume of the atmosphere, usually expressed in grams of water per kilogram of air. Premature abscission in certain plant species frequently results from excessive exposure to certain air contaminants. (Mathematics) The coordinate representing the position of a point along a line perpendicular to the y-axis (Ordinate) in a Plane Cartesian Coordinate System. (2) The erosive processes by which a glacier is reduced. (1) The process by which ice and snow waste away as a result of melting and/or evaporation. Pertaining to any non- biological factor or influence, such as geological or meteorological characteristics. Those non-living factors which are present in and affect the characteristics of a given ecosystem. Reducing the degree or intensity of, or eliminating, pollution, as a water pollution abatement program. In this latter instance the final determination of legal abandonment can only be decided by the court holding jurisdiction. Abandonment may also involve the slow but resolute erosion of rights to a dam by non-use, physical destruction, lack of maintenance or intent of same. In a legal sense, abandonment is most precisely described as transfer of all rights, title and interest in a dam to the current property owner. Generally, abandoned wells will be filled with concrete or cement grout to protect groundwater from waste and contamination.įailure to put a water right to Beneficial Use for generally five or more years, in which the owner of the water right states that the water right will not be used, or takes such actions that would prevent the water from being beneficially used. Compare to Forfeited Water Right.Ī well which is no longer used or a well removed from service a well whose use has been permanently discontinued or which is in a state of such disrepair that it cannot be used for its intended purpose.
Along with the B-Horizon, this layer constitutes part of the Zone of Eluviation.Ī classification made based upon the results of experimentation.Ī classification made prior to experimentation.Ī water right which has not been put to Beneficial Use for generally five or more years, in which the owner of the water right states that the water right will not be used, or takes such actions that would prevent the water from being beneficially used. Generally this represents the most fertile soil layer. The uppermost zone in the Soil Profile, from which soluble Salts and Colloids are leached, and in which organic matter has accumulated.
