Water


How are aquifers and aqueducts alike and different?

Well, aquifers and aqueducts both have to do with water, but they work in different ways. Aquifers are underground layers of rock that hold water like a sponge, while aqueducts are man-made structures that carry water from one place to another. Both are important for providing water to communities, just in different ways, like how different colors come together to make a beautiful painting.


What were aqueducts made of?

An aqueduct was a water pipe and the Romans used ceramic for the pipes. The ceramic kilns of the tenth legion have been found in present day Israel along with their aqueduct building equipment. Do not be mislead by the external supports of the water pipe. They were at times arches in more than one tier or layer, and they were generally made of stone and concrete. However, they were only supports for the water pipe, no matter how striking they may appear. Remember too, that most Roman aqueducts were underground and they were constructed of ceramic piping.

What is hydrographic surveying?

In civil engineering, measurement of earth surface under water. Eventually, it leads to calculation of volume of water held (or flowing through) depressions on earth surface. Since, underwater surfaces are not directly accessible for measurement a separate technology called sounding is used to measure the depth of surface from water surface. Sounding methods may vary from running a long string with a sink to the bed of water body to sending an ultrasonic vibration to measure the time of return.

Clean water is added to a tank full of dirty water. After some time the tank is full of clean water. Dirty water disappears. What is the principle and how does it work?

The principle is 'dilution': with the first addition of clean water to dirty water, the dirty water becomes less dirty because it is diluted by the clean water. With the continued addition of clean water to dirty water, eventually the dirty water will be completely diluted and there will be no dirty water left; it will all be replaced by clean water.
