... Meinzer (1939) divided the zone of aeration into three parts and proposed a series of terms of Greek origin to apply to the contained water. For all of the water in the zone of aeration he proposed the term "kremastic water." He proposed "rhizic water" for the water in the soil zone, "anastatic water" for the water in the capillary fringe, and "argic water" for the water in the intermediate zone. ... Meinzer's adaptations from the Greek for waters in the zone of aeration have never caught on, and few ground-water geologists normally use them. 7, record 4, English, - vadose%20water

Los intercambios de agua entre los depósitos de agua superficial y los acuíferos son importantes. Los ríos usualmente empiezan como pequeños arroyos y aumentan el caudal a medida que fluyen hacia el mar. El agua que ellos ganan frecuentemente viene del agua subterránea. Esta corriente se denomina corriente ganante. Es posible que las corrientes viertan agua al subsuelo en algunos puntos. En estos casos, los acuíferos son rellenados o recargados por agua de corrientes de pérdida. Un arroyo que fluye cerca de la superficie de un acuífero perderá agua hacia el acuífero si la superficie de agua del arroyo es más alta que la capa de agua del acuífero en la tierra adyacente. 4, record 5, Spanish, - corriente%20afluente
