4 Topical Presentation Outline Basic Concepts and Definitions The Hydrologic Cycle What is groundwater? Concepts & Definitions Porous Flow vs. Fractured Flow Aquifers vs. Aquitards Artesian vs. Water Table Conditions Regional Groundwater Flow Systems Well & Aquifer Hydraulics Groundwater Modeling
5 The Hydrologic og Cycle Climate, surface water, and groundwater are linked
6 Porous Systems Porosity = volume of pore space / total volume of porous material
7 Fractured Systems
8 Fractured Limestone or Dolomite
9 Porosity & Effective Porosity Ranges Material Porosity (%) Eff. Porosity (%) Silt Clay Sand/Gravel Limestone/dolomite Shale Sandstone
10 Aquifers vs. Aquitards An aquifer is a saturated bed, formation, or group of formations which yields water in sufficient quantity to be of consequence as a source of supply. An aquitard yields inappreciable quantities of water to wells compared to an aquifer but through which leakage of water is possible. Aquitards often act as confining beds.
11 Unconfined vs. Confined Groundwater An unconfined aquifer is one in which groundwater possesses a free surface open to the atmosphere. The upper surface of the zone of saturation is called the water table. A confined aquifer is one in which groundwater is confined under pressure by overlying and underlying aquitards or aquicludes and water levels in wells rise above the top of the aquifer. Also called an artesian aquifer.
12 Unconfined Aquifers Land Surface Unsaturated (Vadose) Zone Water Table Saturated Zone Unconfined Aquifer Bedrock
13 Confined Aquifers Land Surface Unsaturated (Vadose) Zone Water Table Unconfined Aquifer Saturated Zone Confining Layer - Aquitard Potentiometric Surface Confined Aquifer Bedrock
