Is often groundwater must be be pumped to the surface To be used?
Groundwater does not have to be pumped to the surface to use, although that would seem the most logical way to get access to it. It has no difference on the make up of the water, or the purity.
Which term means the upper most level of underground water supply?
The uppermost limit of ground water is called the ground water "table", the point below which 100% of soil pore space is saturated with water. The water table corresponds to the level of water you see in wells.
How often should I Water an orange tree?
I water my citrus trees every 13 days for 24 hours to wash dissolved salts below the root zone.
What is the difference between science and history?
Science is knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws as obtained and tested through scientific method. History is a chronological record of significant events (as affecting a nation or institution) often including an explanation of their causes.
Why were children often used often used as labor in mines?
they were small
What is groundwater contamination?
groundwater is water found below the ground. In many countries such as the UK, Nambia and Bangladesh, groundwater is a major water source for the population. Contamination of groundwater then, is the pollution of this water which often has major ramifications for a population. Major contaminants are nitrogenous fertilizers, and heavy metals found in the soil or rocks. Chalk and even certain types of plants have been used to combat groundwater contamination. Water hyacinth, for example, a plant found in Bangladesh was used to decrease the amounts of arsenic found in the groundwater in that country.
What is fed by groundwater and often drained by seeps or springs?
Aquifers
Where on the ocean floor does oil drilling take place?
Oil drilling often occurs on the seabed, that is, the very bottom of the ocean.
Is it true that often groundwater must be pumped to the surface to be used?
it is false.
Which type of precipitation most often soaks the ground and refills groundwater?
Rain
Groundwater is the most effective erosion agent in what areas?
Groundwater erosion occurs most often in areas with an abundance of limestone and rainfall. This erosion can create large cavities and caves.
Why do wells dug to get groundwater often dry up after sometime?
This is due to evaporation. Wells get dry.

What is radial drilling?
a machine in which the drilling head is mounted to slide along a radial arm which can be rotated, raised, or lowered on a vertical mast to adjust the position of the drill above the workpiece Often shortened to radial.
Would a topographic map or a geologic map be more useful for drilling a well and why?
I wouldn't recommend drilling with a map period.. A drill usually does a better job, paper often seems to lack strength
What is radial drilling machine?
a machine in which the drilling head is mounted to slide along a radial arm which can be rotated, raised, or lowered on a vertical mast to adjust the position of the drill above the workpiece Often shortened to radial.
What is borehole drilling?
Borehole drilling is the drilling of a narrow shaft into the Earths surface, they're constructed for a range of different purposes such as the extraction of water or other liquids such as oil, and also natural gases. They're often drilled also as part of a geotechnical investigations and environmental site assessments. Hundreds of years ago it was carried out by sheer brute force using a rod that was called a bore. Nowadays though we have borehole drilling rigs that are capable of drilling to much greater depths.
