| Terms for subject Environment (24932 entries) |
| grondverzakking | land sinking | |
| grondverzakking | subsidence (1. A sinking down of a part of the earth's crust, generally due to underground excavations. 2. The sudden sinking or gradual downward settling of the Earth's surface with little or no horizontal motion. The movement is not restricted in rate, magnitude, or area involved. Subsidence may be caused by natural geologic processes, such as solution, thawing, compaction, slow crustal warping, or withdrawal of fluid lava from beneath a solid crust; or by man's activity, such as subsurface mining or the pumping of oil or ground water) | |
| grondwaarde | land value (The monetary or material worth in commerce or trade of an area of ground considered as property) | |
| grondwater | soil water (Water stored in soils) | |
| grondwater | soil water | |
| grondwater | ground water | |
| grondwater | ground water layer | |
| grondwater | groundwater (Water that occupies pores and crevices in rock and soil, below the surface and above a layer of impermeable material. It is free to move gravitationally, either downwards towards the impermeable layer or by following a gradient) | |
| grondwateraanvulling | induced recharge of aquifer | |
| grondwaterbalans | groundwater balance | |
| grondwaterbescherming | groundwater protection (Precautionary actions, procedures or installations undertaken to prevent or reduce harm to the environmental integrity of fresh water found beneath the earth's surface, usually in aquifers, which supply wells and springs) | |
| grondwaterkwaliteit | groundwater quality (Groundwater accounts for over 95% of the earth's useable fresh-water resources; over half the world's population depends on groundwater for drinking-water supplies. This invisible resource is vulnerable to pollution and over-exploitation. Effective conservation of groundwater supplies requires the integration of land-use and water management) | |
| grondwaterlaag | phreatic surface | |
| grondwaterlaag | water-table | |
| grondwateronttrekking | ground water pumping | |
| grondwaterverontreiniging | groundwater pollution (Contamination of any water found under the earth's surface by any leaching pollutants, such as inorganic compounds (chlorides, nitrates, heavy metals, etc.), synthetic organic chemicals (pesticides, fertilizers, etc.) and pathogens (bacteria, parasites, etc.)) | |
| grondwaterwinning | groundwater extraction | |
| grondwaterwinning | groundwater extraction (The process, deliberate or inadvertent, of extracting ground water from a source at a rate so in excess of the replenishment that the ground water level declines persistently, threatening exhaustion of the supply or at least a decline of pumping levels to uneconomic depths) | |
| grondzee | ground swell | |
| groot getijverschil | macrotidal |
