GLG 111 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Artesian Aquifer, Aeration, Porosity
Document Summary
Groundwater all the water or moisture found below the surface. When water pecolates downward, it passes through two zones: Zone of aeration zone where the voids are filled with air. Zone of saturation zone where the voids are filled with water. Losing water flows out of the stream into the ground (water table) Two factors that influence the storage and groundwater in earth materials. Porosity percent of the total volume of a rock or sediment that consists pore space pores. Permeability the ability of a material to transit a fluid, connectivity of the. Cone of depression look it up but the dog is sad about it, patrick stewart is mad about no water in california btw. Artesian wells water is forced upward under pressure, which requires the water to be confined to an aquifier that is bound by two aquitards. Springs- formed when the water table intersects the earths surface, forming an outflow of groundwater.
