What is the replacement of water content in an aquifer?
Rainfall percolating down to the aquifer from its catchment area.
What happens when contaminants find their way into an aquifer?
When contaminants find their way into an aquifer, there will be a need to purify the water again. There are filters built into this type of system to prevent contaminants from entering the drinking water.
What happens to the water table during heavy rainfall?
It rises.
How amount of rainfall affects watershed.?
The amount of rainfall affects the flow of the streams within the watershed area, and ultimately how much water is stored in the watershed.
Why is it important to know the depth of an aquifer before drilling a well?
It's important to know the depth of an aquifer before drilling a well because if you drilled 35ft but there was a remaining of about 5-10 more feet you wouldn't really get all the water from the aquifer, and you'd run out of water in an amount of time.
What is the replacement of water content in an aquifer?
Rainfall percolating down to the aquifer from its catchment area.
A rock that can yield a significant amount of water?
It is called "Aquifer"
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.
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}
What variable determines the amount of water an aquifer can hold?
An aquifer refers to a body of permeable rock that can contain or transmit groundwater. The factor that determines how much water an aquifer can hold is the composition of its surrounding bedrock.
What happens to the water table if the amount of water pumped from an aquifer is greater than the water seeping in?
The water table wil assumably drop. Additionally, water quality gets worse in most cases due to decreasing dilution potentia.l
How is the amount of fresh water replaced?
the amount of freshwater is replaced by rainfall,pollution and salty water.
How urban growth might 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.
Which is better for drinking water from an aquifer or an artesian aquifer?
from an aquifer
What happens when contaminants find their way into an aquifer?
When contaminants find their way into an aquifer, there will be a need to purify the water again. There are filters built into this type of system to prevent contaminants from entering the drinking water.
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
What happens for each rainfall?
water magically falls from the sky
