Does some groundwater return to the surface?
Some ground water will return to the surface, especially during flooding. At times, areas near bodies of water will have returning ground water in spots.
Does some groundwater returns to the surface in springs?
why are you asking me!? its true you should know that1
What are the four misconceptions about ground water?
Misconception: Groundwater is a non-renewable resource. Groundwater is constantly renewed by passing from atmospheric or surface water to groundwater in the hydrologic cycle. Misconception: Water from springs is safe without treatment. Although flow through the ground does have a purifying effect on water by filtering sediment, bacteria, and certain chemicals, the purification effect is limited. Large concentrations of chemicals may be too much to be completely removed, and certain chemicals may not be removed by the ground at all. Some groundwater is naturally unsuitable for drinking because of the minerals it has dissolved from the rock through which it flows. Misconception: Groundwater and surface water are separate. Groundwater, surface water, and atmospheric water are intimately related through the earth's water recycling machine, called the hydrologic cycle. Water passes repeatedly through all three parts of the cycle. Misconception: Groundwater flows in underground rivers. Little groundwater flows in open channels beneath the surface. Most flows through fractures in the rock, through millimeter sized opening between layers, and between the grains of the rock.
What is a groundwater system?
"Groundwater flow is the movement of water that travels and seeps through soil and rock underground. Stored in cavities and geologic pores of the earth's crust, confined groundwater is under a great deal of pressure. Its upper part is lower than the material in which it is confined. Unconfined groundwater is the term for an aquifer with an exposed water surface."
Does groundwater flow faster than surface water?
I believe that surface water flows faster because the water does not have to travel through the tiny pores in the rocks like ground water does. Also, ground water is affected my pressure and permeability. Also depends on the slope of the land, the ground water in some regions may move faster than groundwater if its slope is steeper. The velocity of groundwater is controlled by the hydraulic gradient (i) of the water table or potentiometric surface, the effective Porosity (Ne) of soil or rock, and the hydraulic conductivity (K) of the medium water passes through. This is expressed in the equation V = Ki/Ne (Hudak, 2000). In general, the porosity of an aquifer (amount of interconnected pore spaces) and the hydraulic conductivity (ability of a substance to transmit water) are the main factors that result in differences between groundwater and surface water velocity when the hydraulic gradient (slope) is relatively similar. As the conductivity an aquifer decreases, the the velocity decreases and the gap between groundwater and surface water speed increases. This is reffered to a laminear flow (Hudak, 2000) In karst Aquifers where dissolution caverns are formed, conditions can mimic those of surface water, resulting in turbulent flow that can match river velocity.
Some groundwater returns to the surface in swamps?
yes
Do some groundwater return to the surface?
Some ground water will return to the surface. This can be seen especially near large bodies of water. Areas that flood will have returning water as well.
Does some groundwater return to the surface?
Some ground water will return to the surface, especially during flooding. At times, areas near bodies of water will have returning ground water in spots.
Are geysers related to the water cycle?
Yes. Geysers blast boiling groundwater above the surface of the land, taking some groundwater while the groundwater raises somewhere else, so the water cycles through everywhere.
What does groundwater mean in the water cycle?
Large Underground deposits of water underneath the earth's surface.
