Groundwater

Groundwater INFILTRATE = sink into (soak into). When precipitation falls, it will runoff of IMPERMEABLE surfaces, and it will INFILTRATE PERMEABLE surfaces.

Permeable Permeable- water CAN move through the material Example: Sponge

Impermeable Impermeable- water CANNOT move through the object Example: Asphalt or Concrete

Zones of Groundwater Zone of Aeration – pores filled w/ air & Water Zone of saturation – all pores filled w/ Water Water Table – division b/w zone of aeration & zone of saturation

Water table well: a well that reaches the water table, the water must be pumped out. Artesian well: a well that reaches a confined aquifer, the water flows due to pressure.

Porosity Porosity: Amount of open space in rocks and sediment that can hold water (and air). Rounded sediments of the same size can hold more water than odd shaped sediments of different sizes. High porosity Low porosity

Groundwater intersects the surface Water comes out of the ground when the groundwater meets the surface. It can be a spring, a lake, or a stream.

Karst counties in Virginia: depend on groundwater

Aquifers What is an Aquifer? A layer of permeable rock with high porosity that lets water move freely Why are they so important? Most drinking water comes from aquifers. Wells dug into a confined aquifer will give the most consistent supply of fresh water. Water flows in an aquifer the same way it would flow on earth’s surface. It flows down slope.

A cone of depression (dips down) forms along the water table when a well is dug. Over pumping will lower the cone of depression.

Aquifers

Cave Formation Caves are made from carbonic acid dissolving cracks in limestone Caves are a big part of karst topography Karst Topography - land with lots of caves and sinkholes.

Carlsbad Caverns

Surface contamination can directly connect to our water supply
