The document defines several terms related to water and agriculture:
Aeroponica refers to a technique for growing plants without soil using nutrient-rich mist. Acuaponica combines aquaculture and hydroponics to purify water. Additional terms defined include carbon dioxide, hydroponics, photosynthesis, stomata, transpiration, the water cycle, algal bloom, erosion, conservation tillage, crop residue, irrigation, riparian area, watershed, the hydrologic cycle, runoff, precipitation, groundwater, drainage basin, surface water, and hydropower.

Aeroponica= aeroponics: a technique for growing plants
without soil or sunlight in which the roots of the plant are suspended in the air and misted periodically with nutrient-rich water and light is provided by specialized grow lights 2. acvaponia= aquaponics: a system of aquaculture in which the waste produced by farmed fish or other aquatic animals supplies nutrients for plants grown hydroponically, which in turn purify the water 3. Dioxid de carbon= carbon dioxide: a gas consisting of one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms; the byproduct of cellular respiration in animal cells and combustion of organic materials; essential to the process of photosynthesis in plant cells 4. Hidroponica= hydroponics: the method of cultivating plants using a mineral nutrient solution in a water solvent without the use of soil 5.Fotosinteză= photosynthesis: the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide, water, and light energy into sugars and oxygen in order to store energy; the opposite of cell respiration 6.Stomate= stomata: small openings in the leaves and stems of plants which can open and close to exchange oxygen and water vapor for carbon dioxide 7.Transpiraţie= transpiration: the process by which plants release water vapor back into the atmosphere through their stomata 8. Ciclul apei= water cycle: the series of conditions through which water naturally passes from water vapor in the air to being deposited (as by rain or snow) on earth’s surface and finally back into the air through evaporation and transpiration 9. Inflorirea algelor= algal bloom: a rapid increase in the population of algae in a given area of water, which often causes the water to look green 10. Eroziune= erosion: the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water, glaciers, winds, waves, and other natural forces 11. Conservarea solului= conservation tillage: farming methods that reduce the intensity or frequency of tilling in order to maintain some ground cover throughout the year and disturb the soil as little as possible while still providing the conditions needed to grow a productive crop 12. Reziduuri de cultură= crop residue: plant material remaining in a field after harvesting, including leaves, stalks, and roots 13. Irigaţii= irrigation: artificial application of water to the land or soil to assist plant growth 14. Zona riverană= riparian area: A space between the land and the waterway ideally filled with native grass, bushes and trees 15. Bazin de apă= watershed: a watershed is the area of land where all of the water that falls in it and drains off of it goes into the same place 16. Ciclu hidrologic= hydrologic cycle: a sequence of conditions where water moves through the atmosphere through precipitation, evaporation, and transpiration 17. non point source: nutrient pollution that results from runoff and enters surface, ground water, and the oceans from widespread and distant activities 18. Precipitaţii= precipitation: moisture in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground 19. transpiration: the process by which plants release water vapor back into the atmosphere through their stomata 20. masă de apă= water table: The level in the ground which is saturated with water 21. panză freatică= groundwater: precipitation that has infiltrated through soil, rock, and gravel in the ground 22. scurgeri = runoff: the draining away of water from the surface of an area of land 23.Apa mineral = Mineral water is water from a mineral spring that contains various minerals, such as salts and sulfur compounds. 24. Apa carbogazoasă= Carbonated water: is water containing dissolved carbon dioxide gas, either artificially injected under pressure or occurring due to natural geological processes. 25. Apă de la Robinet= Tap water: is water supplied through a tap, a water dispenser valve. Tap water is commonly used for drinking, cooking, washing, and toilet flushing. 26. Filtru de apă= Water filter: removes impurities by lowering contamination of water using a fine physical barrier, a chemical process, or a biological process. 27. Reîncărcarea apelor subterane= Groundwater recharge: is a hydrologic process, where water moves downward from surface water to groundwater. 28. Bazin de drenaj= Drainage basin: is any area of land where precipitation collects and drains off into a common outlet, such as into a river, bay, or other body of water. 29. Apa de suprafaţă= Surface water: is water located on top of the Earth's surface, and may also be referred to as blue water. 30. Hidroenergie= Hydropower: is the use of falling or fast-running water to produce electricity or to power machines.
