What describes an aquifer's ability to allow water to flow through?
Aquifers are layers of porous rock which both hold water and allow it to move underground. Think of them as large sponges made of rock. We drill wells into the aquifer to extract water for human needs and new water flows into the point of extraction, re-filling the well. All works fine as long as more water ENTERS the aquifer than is removed from it.
Is groundwater an unlimited resource?
One would think it is, but sadly it isn't. Ground water comes from aquifers. Aquifers are supplied by surface water that percolates through the layers of soil until it reaches the depth of the aquifer. When water is pumped from the aquifer faster than it can be replenished, and it takes a long time to replenish an aquifer, it will dry up. Additional problems can occur when ground water is depleted.
How long does it take to fill up your well once it has gone dry?
As long as it takes for the aquifer to recharge. The well will not be supplied with water until the water table rises again, since the well forms a cone of depression in the aquifer. (Think about drinking maple syrup through a coffee stirrer). That could be as long as, say, until the cows come home.
How important are aquifers?
An aquifer is a body of saturated rock through which water can easily move. It is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials from which groundwater can be extracted using a water well. Aquifers are important in human habitation and agriculture. Deep aquifers in arid areas have long been water sources for irrigation. Many villages and even large cities draw their water supply from wells in aquifers.
How long do waterspouts last?
how long does a water spout last
Why people should not take more water from an aquifer than they need?
People should take no more aquifer then they need because the water table (highest aquifer -level) rises when water is added by rain or melting snow. It falls when a long time passes without rain. The level will also fall when water is pumped out through wells faster than it is replaced.Answered by toplop222 in roblox

What are Tube wells and how they are used?
It's simply a long pipe that is bored into the ground in order to reach an aquifer. The water is then pumped into a surface reservoir.
How long will water last in a well?
Water will stay in a well as long as the bottom of the well is above the water table.
How long do wells live?
I depend on the aquifer, if it goes down it will die otherwise a long time
How do we Calculation of the transmisivity of an aquifer?
As long as the transmissivity is the measure of how easily water moves through the porous media along the joint length so it can be calculated as : length/sec *length=m^2 /sec

Can we use 60 watt bulb in confined space?
As long as the fixture in the confined space is approved for confined space and the wattage rating of the fixture is not below 60 watts then there should be no problem using a 60 watt bulb in this situation.
How long can you let your water run without drying the well out?
It depends entirely upon (1) the water table, and (2) the rate at which you are extracting water. Some water tables are very deep - meaning there is a great deal of water below ground. Others are fed by aquifer, and thereby offer a virtual endless supply of water. Other water tables are very shallow, and drawing water steadily even for two hours can reduce the table significantly.
