What is the line between the zones of aeration and saturation?

In reference to water saturation can mean a few things. It could mean the dew point of the atmosphere at which it can no longer hold any more moisture. It could mean that the water holds the maximum amount of thermal energy before boiling. It could also mean that so much of a solute is dissolved in the water and at its current temperature cannot hold any more solute.Saturation is the point at which a material cannot absorb any more of something else. When a piece of cloth is saturated with water, it can hold no more water. When you are trying to dissolve something in water, such as salt, the water is saturated when no more salt can go into solution.


How deep is the water table in a swamp?

In general, the water table in a swamp is at ground level. The ground is saturated and water is evident on the surface of the ground. That's what makes a swamp a swamp. You wouldn't have to "dig down" to find water as it's right there. Any water on the surface has no where to go as the ground is saturated. Water may even stand on the ground to some extent. A large part of the area of a swamp may be covered with water, and only a few plants that can stand having their roots completely wet will emerge.


Why should you fill the water table?

you should fill the water table because when you run out of water or if you have famine you can depend upon the groundwater for your Resistance . The second reason is - it is also useful in irrigation as it is a collection of pure or fresh ground water .


How do water effect soil?

Water in soil moves from points where it has a relatively high energy status to points where its energy status is lower. Two factors determine the energy status of water at any given point in a non-saline soil. The first factor is the elevantioal position in the soil relative to a reference level. The higher an object is located above the reference level, the higher is its gravitational energy. This is true also of any given quantity of water in soil: the higher the water is located in the soil profile, the higher is its gravitational energy (g). Gravitational energy is expressed as the number of centimeters (or inches) above or below an arbitrarily chosen reference level.The second factor determining the energy status of water is the water's pressure head (h) , as discussed in part 2. Pressure heads are negative in unsaturated soil where not all the pores are water-filled. Those that are water- filled act in a manner similar to capillaries and exert suction on water. On the other hand, pressure head can be positive, as occurs in the saturated zone below the surface of the water in soil (the "water table"). There, all or nearly all (allowing for some trapped air) pores are filled with water. Pressure head is equal to zero (h =0) at the water table. It becomes progressively higher (more positive) with increasing distance below the water table. Pressure head becomes progressively lower (more negative) with increasing distance above the water table.The hydraulic head (H) at a given point in the soil is equal to the sum of the gravitational and pressure heads, at that point, as illustrated schematically in Figure 1 for selected conditions.


How can saturated soil cause flooding?

Saturated soil can cause flooding because it has reached its full water-holding capacity and can no longer absorb any more water. When it rains or there is excessive runoff, the water has nowhere to go and accumulates on the surface, leading to flooding. This can be exacerbated by factors like impermeable surfaces or a high water table.

What is the purpose of sleeve pipe?

A Sleeve pipe is inserted into a drilled hole to separate any liquids from the surrounding surfaces and the water below. The sleeve is a sealed piece of material pressed into the shaft and this keeps any contamination from going down the shaft and being absorbed into the water table below. Separating water tables is a common reason for their required installation.

How does water travel in a palm tree?

In any tree, water is drawn upward from its roots, through its trunk to the leaves, where evaporation creates plant thirst caused by transpiration: that is, water out & CO2 in.
