所谓的干货（各种定义）：
Hydrosphere - the water component of the earth's environment including oceans, rivers, lakes, glaciers and ice caps.
Drainage basin - the area from which a river collects its water, sometimes referred to as a catchment area
Watershed - the boundary of a drainage basin, usually defined by ridge lines that determine into which catchment water may flow
Tributary - a stream / river that enters a larger stream / river
Source - the point at where a stream / river begins
Mouth - the point at where the river enters the ocean
Confluence - point where two or more tributaries meet to form a bigger stream / river
Evaporation - process whereby water becomes water vapour and rises into the atmosphere
Transpiration - water returned to the atmosphere in a gaseous state through the leaves of plants
Evapo-transpiration - combination of both evaporation and transpiration from vegetation
Condensation - Process whereby water cools and returns from a gaseous state to a liquid or liquid crystal state, usually forming clouds
Precipitation - Water that falls to the ground as rain, hail, sleet or snow
Interception - where precipitation is prevented from reaching the ground owing to the presence of vegetation
Infiltration - water soaking into the ground
Infiltration rate - the speed at which water can soak into the ground
Infiltration capacity - the amount of water that can enter the ground at any given time
Surface run-off / overland flow - water that flows over the ground surface into rivers, streams, lakes and oceans
Through-flow - water that flows through the soil into rivers, streams, lakes and oceans
Percolation - water that flows from the soil into the bedrock beneath
Groundwater flow - water that flows through the bedrock into rivers, streams, lakes and oceans
Channel flow - water flowing within the confines of a river or stream
Discharge - the volume of water in river passing a given point over a period of time. Discharge is measured in cubic metres of water per second (cumecs)
Hydrograph - a graph that show the discharge in a river over a period of time, often used to show the discharge of a river during and after a storm event
River regulation - controlling the flow of rivers to avoid problems such as floods and droughts
Dam - a barrier, usually a wall made of cement, brick etc, built across a river to hold back water
Reservoir - the lake formed behind a dam wall
