When contaminants find their way into an aquifer, there will be a need to purify the water again. There are filters built into this type of system to prevent contaminants from entering the drinking water.

What is one way that groundwater can come to the surface naturally?

Groundwater can come to the surface naturally through springs. Springs are formed when water from an aquifer flows out onto the land surface due to geological features or pressure within the aquifer.


Describe the unique problems of cleaning up groundwater pollution?

Sometimes the only way to regain use of the aquifer is to treat the water at its point of use. For large water providers, this may mean installing costly treatment units consisting of special filters or evaporative towers called air strippers.


What causes pressure in an artesian well?

An artesian well is a pumpless water source that utilizes pipes that are underground to allow water that is under pressure to rise to the surface for use. One needs to use porous stone sandwiched between two layers of a substance such as shale, that is impermeable.


How does water move through underground layers of soil and rock and how do people obtain it from an aquifer?

In the same way, water underground trickles down between particles of soil and through cracks and spaces in layers of rock. People can obtain groundwater from an aquifer by drilling a well below the water table.


What is the best way to purify water?

The best way to purify water is by using a combination of filtration methods such as using a water filter, boiling water, or using chemical treatments like chlorine or iodine. Each method has its advantages and effectiveness in removing different types of contaminants. It's important to choose the method based on the specific contaminants present in the water source.

Why is bioleaching so important?

used to clean up hazardous waste from industries, farms, & cities. it also cleans up oil spills. Bioremediation is used to fightRemediates contaminants that are adsorbed onto or trapped within the geologic materials of which the aquifer is composed along with contaminants dissolved in groundwater. polution.


Why does the Five Mile Prairie look an island in the Spokane Aquifer Atlas?

The Five Mile Prairie is depicted as an island in the Spokane Aquifer Atlas because it is a raised landform surrounded by lower elevation areas where water flows. This creates the appearance of an "island" due to the way the aquifer maps represent the flow of underground water.

Can ever you find a solution for earthquakes?

No there is no way to stop an earthquake. It just happens when it happens. Though I think Global Warming may have something to do with it.


How do you raise the water table of our well?

The best way would be to find a spot with very sandy soil so that water can percolate easily from the surface down into the aquifer. Then build a big pond over that spot. Keep the pond filled with water from rainwater or from a river or stream. As lots of water goes down into the aquifer from your pond, the water table in your well should rise.

What species of fish would likely contain the highest levels of contaminants?

Sport-caught fish and predator fish such as shark, swordfish, and king mackerel tend to have higher levels of contaminants. You should assume that the fish with the longest life before analysis has the most contaminants. Mercury in fish works this way. Animals higher on the food chain tend to (but don't always) concentrate contaminants from its prey. Also, bottom feeders like catfish, which are found in waters on nearly every continent, would have more contaminants.
