Hello, everybody!

Here is our Glossary book about Water. We are deeply convinced of the fundamental role of water for living beings and for the planet. Clean water means Life, Health, Food, Energy! It is necessary to save it because of water shortage and the increase in temperature that causes the melting glaciers and global warming. What can we do to help saving water? It is not difficult: let's adopt some simple rules, called "eco gestures" and pay attention to our planet's needs!

EVAPORATION

Evaporation is a process in which water changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state.

GLACIER

a large body of ice moving slowly down a slope or valley or spreading outward on a land surface

LITTER

Trash, such as paper, cans, and bottles, that is left lying in an open or public place.

ECO-FRIENDLY

having a beneficial effect on the environment or at least not causing environmental damage

IRRIGATION

is the process of applying controlled amounts of water to plants at needed intervals. Irrigation helps to grow agricultural crops, maintain landscapes, and revegetate disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of less than average rainfall.

FRESH WATER

a small amount of salt and other dissolved solids compared to sea water. The concept of fresh water generally describes that water has potable chemical properties. It can be formed in the nature with the ecological cycle, as well as accumulation and distillation in man-made ponds and cisterns.

MARINE DEBRIS

Marine debris, also known as marine litter, is human-created waste that has deliberately or accidentally been released in a sea or ocean.

ECO-SYSTEM

A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment

GREY WATER

The relatively clean waste water from baths, sinks, washing machines, and other kitchen appliances.

TURKEY-Mutlu Metin TEVFIK ILERI IHO/SAMSUN

GROUND WATER

Groundwater is water that exists in the pore spaces and fractures in rock and sediment beneath the Earth's surface. It originates as rainfall or snow, and then moves through the soil into the Groundwater system, where it eventually makes its way back to surface streams, lakes, or oceans. It is naturally replenished from above, as surface water from precipitation, streams, and rivers infiltrates into the ground.

DROUGHT

A prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of water.

TURKEY-Mutlu Metin TEVFIK ILERI IHO/SAMSUN

OIL SPILL: The oil spill contains an environmental pollution caused by the release of liquid gasoline hydrocarbons into the environment due to human activity, especially in the seas.

TRASH: Everything people don't use is called trash

SPRING: Underground water that is held in the soil and in pervious rocks
