4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is a cone of depression?
Think of it as an inverted cone's shape in the water table.
Define porosity.
Consider how much 'empty' space there is in a material.
What happens to piezometric heads during steady-state flow?
Consider what steady means in this context.
True or False: The cone of depression forms only in unconfined aquifers.
Think about where the water is being drawn from.
A new well is drilled in an area with high porosity and specific yield. Describe how you would expect the cone of depression to appear during initial pumping versus after pumping has stabilized.
Consider how porosity affects water availability and flow speed.
If the transmissivity of an aquifer is found to be low, what strategies could be implemented to still optimize water extraction?
Think about balance; low transmissivity means careful management is critical.
