Question 1.
What is the primary difference between the zone of aeration and the zone of saturation?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what it means to be saturated.
Question 2.
Name the three types of aquifers mentioned.
Show hintHide hint
Think of the layers of rock and how they affect water.
3Question 3.
What defines an aquifer?

- A type of well
Show hintHide hint
What is the purpose of an aquifer?
4Question 4.
True or False: The zone of saturation contains soil water.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember the definitions of the zones.
Question 5.
Calculate the sustainability of an aquifer with a measured transmissivity of 150 m²/day. If the water level stability occurs at 10 m, what might be the sustainable yield of the aquifer based on this data?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the relationship between transmissivity and yield.
Question 6.
Design a simple aquifer test for a new well in urban development. What factors should be considered, and what outcomes do you expect to manage?
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the context of urban demands and ecological balance.
