Water that seeps into the ground along the banks of a stream during a time of high flow. This loss of water into the ground slightly reduces the height that the stream will attain and then slowly seeps into the stream as the high water level subsides - hence the term "bank storage".
Change in storage in an aquifer resulting from a change in stage of an adjacent surface-water body.
Water absorbed and stored in the banks of a stream, lake, or reservoir when the stage rises above the water table in the bank formations and stays there for an appreciable length of time. Bank storage may be returned in whole or in part as seepage back to the water body when the level of the surface water returns to a lower stage.
Water absorbed and stored in the void in the soil cover in the bed and banks of a stream, lake, or reservoir, and returned in whole or in part as the level of water body surface falls.
The water absorbed into the banks of a stream channel, when the stages rise above the water table in the bank formations, then returns to the channel as effluent seepage when the stages fall below the water table.
The water which infiltrates the banks of a stream channel during high flows or floods, is stored there, and is released to the stream after the high water recedes.
The water contained in an aquifer hydraulically connected with a stream or lake and capable of supplying water to the stream or lake following a lowering of the free water surface, or capable of storing water flowing from the stream or lake on a rise of the free water surface.
Water absorbed and stored by the soil pores of the bed and banks of a stream, lake, or reservoir during higher stage periods and returned, fully or partially, to the water body as the water stage falls.
