Recharge zone in a sentence?
Recharge zone is earths surface from which water percolates down into an aquifer.
What is recharge zone?
The area of the Earth's surface where water seeps down into the aquifer.
What area where water travels downward to become part of an aquifer?
recharge zone
Define the following saturation zone unsaturated zone aquifer recharge surface water discharge and remediation?
Its when a Aquifer recharges bc the surface has to much water realeasing the discharge of water.
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 is a place where groundwater flows to the surface?
Places where groundwater flows to the surface are called springs.
What is an area where waters travels down to become part of an aquifer?
For water to recharge an aquifer, it must pass down through a zone of aeration into the zone of saturation, where the water is stored. The "line" that separates the two zones can be said to be the level of the water table.
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.
Why are recharge zones environmentally sensitive?
Aquifers are essentially lakes of water underground (sometimes pooled or sometimes in a matrix like limestone). They are finite, meaning they contain only a certain volume of water. A recharge zone allows new water to enter the aquifer. Without such a zone, an aquifer can eventually run dry if the volume of water being removed exceeds that of the volume being replaced.
Is the aquifer and the zone of saturation the same thing?
Yes, the saturated zone underground is called the aquifer.

Does water get into an aquifer by a recharge zone?
me dont know srry really srry im not an honor student :D\ thats stupid ... if you dnt know why did u answer dumber-felipe
