What might cause a well that draws water from an aquifer to dry?
If the water level of the aquifer falls to a level that the well does not reach, it will go dry.
What type of water is aquifer?
An aquifer is not a type of water. It is an underground layer of permeable rock, sediment or soil that contains water. Wells are dug to reach this layer to obtain water.
Why does water stop traveling through the soil and remain in an aquifer?
Water can eventually reach a layer of impermeable rock which does not allow its further downward passing. This is the base layer which creates the aquifer.
How can groundwater reach the surface of the earth?
An aquifer contains ground water
What three major layers does rainwater touch in order to reach an aquifer?
1.surface layer 2.zone of aeration 3.zone of saturation
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.

What is the area where water from the surface can move through permeable rock to reach an aquifer is called?
thanks for nothing

An aquifer contains ground water
What are the social factors that affect advertising?
Advertising is a social activity that people use to reach humans. Now this is quite cognitive to the factors which help an advertiser to decide what makes you feel socially good.
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.
What three major layers does rainwater touch in order to reach an aquifer?
1.surface layer 2.zone of aeration 3.zone of saturation
What are key factors that determine if a social movement will unite and grow?
Key factors that determine if a social movement will unite and grow include strong leadership, clear and compelling goals, widespread support from diverse groups, effective communication strategies, and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Additionally, a sense of collective identity and shared values can help unite individuals within the movement.
What do you dig to find water?
You can dig a simple well to reach groundwater. You can dig really deep to find an aquifer, a permeable rock layer that holds underground water.
