💧 Water science has a language all its own.
Here’s a quick look at some essential hydrology terms—perfect for students, educators, and water nerds alike.

🔁 Repost to help folks learn the lingo!
@reedh2o.bsky.social
A graphic with four blue boxes surrounding a central white circle that says "Let's Learn Some Hydrology Lingo." Each box contains a hydrology-related term and its definition: Top left: "Evapotranspiration – The process by which water is transferred from land to the atmosphere through evaporation, the conversion of liquid water to vapor from soil and surfaces, and transpiration, the release of water vapor from plants." Top right: "Precipitation – Water that falls from the atmosphere to earth’s surface as a liquid or solid." Bottom left: "Runoff – A portion of water from precipitation that does not infiltrate into the ground and flows over the land surface, ending up in streams, rivers, or other surface waters." Bottom right: "Hydrology – The science of water which deals with the properties, distribution, and circulation of water on and below the earth's surface and in the atmosphere." At the bottom is the logo for the Integrated GroundWater Modeling Center (IGWMC).

As groundwater flows through layers of soil and rock, those materials help filter out impurities. 💧⏳ That’s why water from aquifers often needs less treatment than surface water.

A light blue square graphic with bold black text at the top reading “Fun Fact Friday with the Integrated GroundWater Modeling Center.” Below, the IGWMC logo features stylized blue and black text with a wave design. A white rounded rectangle contains bold black text saying “DID YOU KNOW?” followed by a fact in smaller black font: “As groundwater moves through layers of soil and rock, these materials help filter out many impurities. That’s why groundwater often requires less treatment than surface water to become safe for drinking.”
