| Terms for subject Environment (6310 entries) |
| water reservoir (Artificial or natural area of water, used for storing water for domestic or industrial use) | ūdens rezervuārs | |
| water resource (Water in any of its forms, wherever located - atmosphere, surface or ground - which is or can be of value to man) | ūdens resursi | |
| water resources conservation (Controlled utilization or protection of any supply of water so that it is potentially useful for some purpose, such as for an economic, recreational or life-sustaining purpose) | ūdens resursu saglabāšana | |
| water resources development | ūdens resursu attīstība | |
| water resources legislation (A binding rule or body of rules prescribed by a government to manage and protect an area's natural water supply and waterways) | uz ūdens resursiem attiecināma likumdošana | |
| water resources management (Measures and activities concerning the supply of water, the improvement of efficiency in its use, the reduction of losses and waste, water-saving practices to reduce costs and to slow the depletion of the water supply to ensure future water availability) | ūdens resursu apsaimniekošana | |
| water reuse (Use of process wastewater or treatment facility effluent in a different manufacturing process) | ūdens atkārtota izmantošana | |
| water salination (Process by which water becomes more salty, found especially in hot countries where irrigation is practised) | ūdens sasāļošanās | |
| water salinity (The degree of dissolved salts in water measured by weight in parts per thousand) | ūdens sāļums | |
| water saving (Management of water resources aiming at ensuring the continued availability of water for human uses and natural ecosystems) | ūdens taupīšana | |
| water science (The science that treats the occurrence, circulation, distribution, and properties of the waters of the earth, and their reaction with the environment) | zinātne par ūdeni | |
| water seepage (The slow movement of water through small openings and spaces in the surface of unsaturated soil into or out of a body of surface or subsurface water) | ūdens iesūkšanās | |
| water statistics (No definition needed) | ūdens statistika | |
| water supply (A source or volume of water available for use; also, the system of reservoirs, wells, conduits, and treatment facilities required to make the water available and usable) | ūdensapgāde | |
| water table (Water that occupies pores, cavities, cracks and other spaces in the crustal rocks. It includes water precipitated from the atmosphere which has percolated through the soil, water that has risen from deep magmatic sources liberated during igneous activity and fossil water retained in sedimentary rocks since their formation. The presence of groundwater is necessary for virtually all weathering processes to operate. Phreatic water is synonymous with groundwater and is the most important source of any water supply) | gruntsūdens līmenis | |
| water table protection (Water table is inherently susceptible to contamination from landuse activities. Remediation is very expensive and often impractical. Prevention of contamination is therefore critical in effective groundwater management) | gruntsūdens līmeņa aizsardzība | |
| water taste (Taste in water can be caused by foreign matter, such as organic compounds, inorganic salts or dissolved gases. These materials may come from domestic, agricultural or natural sources. Some substances found naturally in groundwater, while not necessarily harmful, may impart a disagreeable taste or undesirable property to the water. Magnesium sulphate, sodium sulphate, and sodium chloride are but a few of these. Acceptable waters should be free from any objectionable taste at point of use) | ūdens piegarša | |
| water transportation (Transportation of goods or persons by means of ships travelling on the sea or on inland waterways) | ūdens transportēšana | |
| water treatment (Purification of water to make it suitable for drinking or for any other use) | ūdens apstrāde | |
| water utilisation (Three types of water use are distinguished: 1. withdrawal, where water is taken from a river, or surface or underground reservoir, and after use returned to a natural water body, e.g. water used for cooling in industrial processes. Such return flows are particularly important for downstream users in the case of water taken from rivers; 2. consumptive, which starts with withdrawal but in this case without any return, e.g. irrigation, steam escaping into the atmosphere, water contained in final products, i.e. it is no longer available directly for subsequent uses; 3. non-withdrawal, i.e. the in situ use of a water body for navigation (including the floating of logs by the lumber industry), fishing, recreation, effluent disposal and hydroelectric power generation) | ūdens izmantošana |
