Under which conditions will the amount of water in surface runoff be most likely to exceed the amount of water recharging an aquifer?
heavy rain on sloped granite
How could new roads affect the recharge zone of an aquifer?
because it will affect the amount and quality of water in an aquifer{less water can enter the auifer}
Which is not a kind of surface water pond stream aquifer or runoff?
underground aquifers
Does vegetation affect the amount of runoff?
Yes, plants absorb some of the water. It thick vegetation might slow runoff down too.
What factors affect water runoff?
The Major Factors That Affect The Amount Of Water Runoff In An Area Are: - amount of vegetation and non-permeable surfaces (development) - slope of land (grade) - duration and rate of rainfall - nature of ground (soil type) - soil saturation (moisture)
How would an increase in storm runoff to rivers most likely affect ground water?
An increase in storm runoff to rivers most likely would affect ground water by reducing the amount of infiltration and groundwater recharge. This is where water moves downward from surface water to ground water.
What effect can buildings and parking lots have on an aquifers recharge zone?
Urban runoff can affect groundwater quality. Remediation of contaminated aquifers can take decades, costs millions or billions. Each case is, however, unique.
How could building new roads affect the recharge zone of an aquifer?
If the aquifer is covered by an impermeable rock layer, water cannot reach the aquifer. Construction of buildings on top of the recharge zone can also limit the amount of water that enters an aquifer. OR The presence of roofs, buildings, pavements, and streets indicates that engineering has taken place to remove rainwater via underground plumbing systems, normally in the form of storm sewers. Storm sewers are usually directed to a stream or river near the urban growth. The stream or river may direct the rainfall that once recharged the aquifer to a point hundreds of miles away.
A rock that can yield a significant amount of water?
It is called "Aquifer"
How does the water cycle go around?
Say you are a water droplet in the ocean. This is how your day goes; Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Runoff, Transpiration, Infiltration, Aquifer, Surface Water in the ocean.
How does the removal of trees affect your fresh water supply?
runoff
How does acid rain affect runoff and water table?
it doesn't
