|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aeration zone | show 🗑
|
||||
| Aquiclude | show 🗑
|
||||
| Aquifer | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Use of a well or series of wells to inject surface water into an aquifer during wet weather or low demand periods for purposes of withdrawal and use during drought and/or high demand periods.
🗑
|
||||
| Artesian aquifer | show 🗑
|
||||
| Artificial recharge | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Streamflow coming from groundwater seepage into a stream or river. Groundwater flows underground until the water table intersects the land surface and the flowing water becomes surface water in the form of springs, streams/rivers, lakes and wetlands.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Structural, nonstructural, and managerial techniques recognized to be the most effective and practical means to reduce surface water and groundwater contamination while still allowing the productive use of resources.
🗑
|
||||
| Brackish | show 🗑
|
||||
| Capillary water | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A stream, lake, reservoir, or other body of water fed by water drained from a watershed.
🗑
|
||||
| Condensation | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Pumping from a well in a water table aquifer lowers the water table near the well. This area is known as a cone of depression. The land area above a cone of depression is called the area of influence. Groundwater flows towards the cone of depression.
🗑
|
||||
| show | (aka artesian or pressure aquifers) Groundwater that is bounded between layers of impermeable substances like clay or dense rock. When tapped by a well, water in confined aquifers is forced up, sometimes above the soil surface.
🗑
|
||||
| Confining layer | show 🗑
|
||||
| Conservation | show 🗑
|
||||
| Consolidated rock | show 🗑
|
||||
| Consumptive use | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Any substance that when added to water (or another substance) makes it impure and unfit for consumption or an intended use.
🗑
|
||||
| Darcy’s Law | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The loss of water from surface water reservoirs or groundwater aquifers at a rate greater than that of recharge.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
🗑
|
||||
| show | An outflow of water from a stream, pipe, groundwater aquifer, or watershed; the opposite of recharge.
🗑
|
||||
| Discharge area | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A lowering of the groundwater level caused by pumping.
🗑
