5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What are the two main zones of subsurface water?
Think about how water is distributed beneath the Earth's surface.
What type of aquifer is open to the surface?
Its water table is at the upper boundary.
What is the main characteristic of a confined aquifer?
Remember the distinction between unconfined and confined.
True or False: The Zone of Saturation contains soil that is not fully saturated.
Focus on what saturation means.
Design a simple experiment using a pumping test to determine the transmissivity of a local aquifer. Describe the steps and data you would collect.
Focus on how you would measure changes in water levels over time.
Analyze a scenario where a confined aquifer is extracting twice the sustainable yield. What environmental impacts might arise, and what strategies could mitigate them?
Consider not just the water supply, but the surrounding ecosystem.
