What is a place where groundwater flows to the surface?
Places where groundwater flows to the surface are called springs.
Which is not a kind of surface water pond stream aquifer or runoff?
underground aquifers
A pump is not used to raise groundwater to the surface in areas where artesian wells are located becasue the water in artesian wells is?
under high pressure
What is the difference between a confined aquifer and unconfined aquifer?
Confined acquifer:An aquifer which is sandwiched between two layers of less permeavle material is called confined aquifer.Unconfined acquifer:Aquifers having water table in it is called unconfined aquifer.
A well in which groundwater rises because of pressure is called an?
if the water rises above the surface without any help, it's an artesan well
When does groundwater become surface water?
Once it seeps into an aquifer.
When groundwater that flows in an aquifer between two layers of impermeable rock is forced to the surface by an increase in pressure .what is formed?
artesian well
Is formed when groundwater that flows in an aquifer between two layers of impermeable rock is forced to the surface by an increase in pressure?
artesian well
What is a place where groundwater flows to the surface?
Places where groundwater flows to the surface are called springs.
What is the upper surface of saturated aquifer called?
The top level of groundwater in an aquifer is called the water table.
What is the groundwater flow?
The flow of groundwater is an aquifer.
How can groundwater reach the surface of the earth?
An aquifer contains ground water
What is the name for rainwater that sinks into and is stored in the ground?
Groundwater
What is the difference between groundwater and aquifers?
Groundwater is any water present below the earth's surface. An aquifer is a porous and permeable zone in a rock or soil through which ground water flows.
Could ground water gush out strongly to surface through 400m drilling pipes?
That would depend on the pressure of the groundwater in the aquifer. If the hydraulic head level (another way of describing water pressure) was higher than the Earth's surface at that point, then the water could indeed flow up the drill pipes.
What is the water that seeps through rocks and soil called?
ground water Groundwater is located beneath the soil surface. A sustainable amount of ground water creates an aquifer. The point at which the soil and rocks become completely saturated is the water table. Groundwater will flow to the surface naturally. The study of groundwater is hydrogeology.
Water that collects in permeable rock beneath the surface of earth is called?
Water in rocks (or other porous material) below the ground is called ground water.
