An aquifer is a zone of saturation that is used by inhabitants as a water supply. An aquifer is a body of saturated rock through which water can easily move through.

Why must the water supply be protected from pollutants?

For health and welfare of the earth and its inhabitants.


What is critical water saturation?

critical water saturation (sometimes called Irreducible water saturation) defines the maximum water saturation that a formation with a given permeability and porosity can retain without producing water. This water, although present, is held in place by capillary forces and will not flow. Critical water saturations are usually determined through special core analysis.The critical water value should be compared to the reservoir's in-place water saturation calculated from downhole electric logs. If the in-place water saturation does not exceed the critical value, then the well will produce only hydrocarbons. These saturation comparisons are particularly important in low permeability reservoirs, where critical water saturation can exceed 60% while still producing only hydrocarbons.


What is is the upper boundary of the zone of saturation called?

This is known as the phreatic surface or water table.


When salt can no longer dissolve in water what is this called?

A saturation, or a saturated lliquid, depending on who's asking.


What is the difference between dry steam and wet steam to clean?

DRY steam is superheated There is a temperature below which steam will start to condense into water droplets. This is called the saturation temperature, and it varies with the pressure of the steam. Steam that is exactly at its saturation temperature is called saturated steam. Steam that is below its saturation temperature contains droplets of moisture and is called wet steam. Steam that is above its saturation temperature is called superheated steam.


How are the water table and the zone of saturation related?

The zone of saturation and the water table share two zones of ground water.


What is an Unhealthy or impure water supply called?

An unhealthy or impure water supply is contaminated.


What is an unhealthy water supply called?

Contaiminated water

What do you call the boundary between the aeration zone and the saturation sones?

It is called the water table or phreatic surface.
