When examining the geology of a region for potential useable aquifers what characteristics or factors would you consider?
The characteristics to consider in this case include; the aquifer material, porosity, permeability, and aquifer depth.
Why do artesian aquifers contain water under pressure?
Because the area of recharge is usually at a higher elevation than the rest of an aquifer....
How does groundwater exit below the surface of the Earth?
From aquifers, through artesian basins, springs and wells.
How does the water reach the Great Artesian Basin?
Water in the Great Artesian Basin is replenished by rainfall which seeps down through the permeable sandstone aquifers. These aquifers are located primarily along the eastern edge of the Basin, which is the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range.
What has the author James A Eckel written?
James A. Eckel has written: 'Water levels in major artesian aquifers of the New Jersey Coastal Plain, 1983' -- subject(s): Groundwater, Aquifers
How geological layers contain water?
aquifers
Area that is likely to contain the hardest water?
Artesian spring
What are the springs that form where pressurized water flows through cracks in cap rock?
The springs that form where pressurized water flows through cracks in cap rock are called Artesian springs. This is the type of spring that feeds drinking wells.
In a given area which is likely to contain the hardest water?
artesian spring
Of what is the Great Artesian Basin a large reservoir?
The Great Artesian Basin in Australia is estimated to contain 64,900 cubic kilometres (15,600 cu mi) of groundwater.
Where do flood waters go?
Eventually, most floodwaters find their way to the seas and oceans. Some of the floodwaters replenish underground aquifers and supplies, such as the Great Artesian basin in Australia.
What is an artesian bore?
An artesian bore is a borehole drilled in an artesian basin to produce an artificial artesian well.
What is the difference between artesian basin and artesian wells-?
The artesian basin is natural whereas the artesian wells are man made.
