What is the difference between waterfalls and well water?
Rivers make waterfalls. Well water is underground
How do you get water from an aquifer with a well?
An aquifer is a layer of water in the soil. A well is a hole drilled into that soil that will permit water to fill the lower levels of that hole. Water is then pumped from the well. A pump connected to a metal pipe is lowered to the bottom of the well. The pump is generally operated by a motor located at the surface. The pump forces water from the aquifer up the pipe and to the distribution point at the surface.
Examples of groundwater?
Example of ground water are well, boreholes, river, lagoon and other ground surface water.
Explain 2 ways water changes the Earth's surface?
Water changes the Earth's surface by erosion and flooding.....................I think......1)well, water can cause erosion.2) it can cause land slideAnswerWithout water, plant and animal life would not exist, drastically altering Earth's surface. Water is huge in the weathering of surface rock and necessary to the rock cycle.
What is well water that flows to the surface under its own natural pressure?
That is called "artesian water" .That is called "artesian water" .
Is well water a type of surface water?
Well water is by definition from an underground aquifer, or water table.
Does the well get water from the groundwater or surface water?
The groundwater gets the water
Is water well for underground water or surface water?
Underground water is cleaner.
Why is water reflective?
The surface tension of the water creates a smooth surface. Light, as well as images captured by the eyes, are reflected on that smooth surface.
Is well water more reliable than surface water?
Yes, much cleaner. Surface water is full of dangerous things
What is the term for fresh water beneath the earths surface?

What is the difference between underground water and well water?
both are usually the same well water is water that has been brought to the surface
What A drilled water well that allows water to rise to the surface without using a pump?
A well that allows water to rise without a pump is an artesian well. This is usually a very narrow well drilled into strata capable of pushing water to the surface by internal hydrostatic pressure.
What forms where the water table intersects with the ground surface?
well's occurs when the water underground meets the surface
Why will a vacuum pump not work in a well that is more than 10 m deep?
The water is pumped upwards by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the water in the well. That is only strong enough to support a column of water that is 10m tall.The water is pumped upwards by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the water in the well.
