Aquifer

An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt) from which groundwater can be extracted using a water well. The study of water flow in aquifers and the characterization of aquifers is called hydrogeology. Related terms include aquitard, which is a bed of low permeability along an aquifer, and aquiclude (or aquifuge), which is a solid, impermeable area underlying or overlying an aquifer. If the impermeable area overlies the aquifer, pressure could cause it to become a confined aquifer.

Depth

Aquifers may occur at various depths. Those closer to the surface are not only more likely to be used for water supply and irrigation, but are also more likely to be topped up by the local rainfall. Many desert areas have limestone hills or mountains within them or close to them that can be exploited as groundwater resources. Parts of the Atlas Mountains in North Africa, the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon ranges between Syria and Lebanon, the Jebel Akhdar (Oman) in Oman, parts of the Sierra Nevada and neighboring ranges in the United States' Southwest, have shallow aquifers that are exploited for their water. Overexploitation can lead to the exceeding of the practical sustained yield; i.e., more water is taken out than can be replenished. Along the coastlines of certain countries, such as Libya and Israel, increased water usage associated with population growth has caused a lowering of the water table and the subsequent contamination of the groundwater with saltwater from the sea.

  How an aquifer works

  There are about 200 aquifers in New Zealand. Two aquifers in Hawke’s Bay are the life blood of a region reliant on primary production. These are the Heretaunga Plains and Ruataniwha Plains aquifers. Watch our 'Ground Water 101' animation to learn more about what an aquifer is, how they work, what affects them and how important they are for the health, wellbeing and prosperity of our community.

  What is an Aquifer?

  This video describes the basic characteristics of two types of aquifers and identifies four types of geological units that make up many of the aquifers in the US. We compare and contrast unconfined and confined aquifers and show the distribution of aquifer systems composed of sand and gravel, sandstone, carbonates (limestone), and fractured igneous and metamorphic rocks. On the basis of the maps we show you, what is the most likely composition of your local aquifer system?

  The Ogallala Aquifer

  Farmers in Kansas and other states that sit atop the Ogallala aquifer -- the largest freshwater aquifer in North America -- are pumping out water for crop irrigation far faster than natural seepage of rainwater can replenish it. Scientist David Hyndman from Michigan State University is helping develop a plan to better manage this vital resource for sustainable farming.

  What is Groundwater?

  The Earth is 70 % water. However, only 3% of this water is freshwater. Much of this freshwater is frozen in glaciers, you will find some of the water in rivers and streams, and almost 30% of this freshwater is groundwater. But What is groundwater? Groundwater is water that finds it way between the gaps of rocks and sediments underground. As the water seeps into the ground it may find it’s way into an aquifer. Aquifers are underground rock layers saturated with groundwater. An aquifer is not an underground river but large porous layers of rock.

Farmers in Kansas and other states that sit atop the Ogallala aquifer -- the largest freshwater aquifer in North America -- are pumping out water for crop irrigation far faster than natural seepage of rainwater can replenish it. Scientist David Hyndman from Michigan State University is helping develop a plan to better manage this vital resource for sustainable farming.

#civilengineering #upsc #construction #education #class #aquifer #civildarshan #noel #irrigationengineering Dive into the fascinating world of aquifers with this educational and engaging video! Learn about the essential components that make up Earth's underground water systems, including aquifers, aquicludes, aquifuges, and aquitards. Aquifer: Discover the primary reservoirs of groundwater that sustain life on our planet. Aquifers are underground layers of permeable rock or sediment that hold and transmit water. Aquiclude: Explore the barriers within aquifer systems. Aquicludes are impermeable layers of rock or sediment that prevent the flow of water, acting as confining layers for aquifers. Aquifuge: Unveil the ultimate barriers to water flow. Aquifuges are rock formations that entirely prevent the movement of water, creating isolated pockets within the Earth's crust. Aquitard: Understand the regulators of water flow. Aquitards are semi-permeable layers that hinder the movement of water between aquifers, controlling the rate of groundwater flow. Unconfined Aquifer: Delve into the dynamics of open water reservoirs. Unconfined aquifers are layers of permeable rock or sediment that directly interact with the Earth's surface, allowing water to move freely. Confined Aquifer: Explore the depths of restricted water reservoirs. Confined aquifers are layers of permeable rock or sediment confined by impermeable layers above and below, creating pressurized conditions. Semi-confined Aquifer: Bridge the gap between confined and unconfined systems. Semi-confined aquifers exhibit characteristics of both confined and unconfined aquifers, offering unique hydrological features. Join me as we journey through the intricate layers of Earth's aquifers, uncovering the hidden mysteries and vital importance of these underground water reserves.

The Earth is 70 % water. However, only 3% of this water is freshwater. Much of this freshwater is frozen in glaciers, you will find some of the water in rivers and streams, and almost 30% of this freshwater is groundwater. But What is groundwater? Groundwater is water that finds it way between the gaps of rocks and sediments underground. As the water seeps into the ground it may find it’s way into an aquifer.

  This video describes the basic characteristics of two types of aquifers and identifies four types of geological units that make up many of the aquifers in the US. We compare and contrast unconfined and confined aquifers and show the distribution of aquifer systems composed of sand and gravel, sandstone, carbonates (limestone), and fractured igneous and metamorphic rocks. On the basis of the maps we show you, what is the most likely composition of your local aquifer system?

The Earth is 70 % water. However, only 3% of this water is freshwater. Much of this freshwater is frozen in glaciers, you will find some of the water in rivers and streams, and almost 30% of this freshwater is groundwater. But What is groundwater? Groundwater is water that finds it way between the gaps of rocks and sediments underground. As the water seeps into the ground it may find it’s way into an aquifer. Aquifers are underground rock layers saturated with groundwater. An aquifer is not an underground river but large porous layers of rock.

Aquifer

An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt) from which groundwater can be extracted using a water well. The study of water flow in aquifers and the characterization of aquifers is called hydrogeology. Related terms include aquitard, which is a bed of low permeability along an aquifer, and aquiclude (or aquifuge), which is a solid, impermeable area underlying or overlying an aquifer. If the impermeable area overlies the aquifer, pressure could cause it to become a confined aquifer.

Depth

Aquifers may occur at various depths. Those closer to the surface are not only more likely to be used for water supply and irrigation, but are also more likely to be topped up by the local rainfall. Many desert areas have limestone hills or mountains within them or close to them that can be exploited as groundwater resources. Parts of the Atlas Mountains in North Africa, the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon ranges between Syria and Lebanon, the Jebel Akhdar (Oman) in Oman, parts of the Sierra Nevada and neighboring ranges in the United States' Southwest, have shallow aquifers that are exploited for their water. Overexploitation can lead to the exceeding of the practical sustained yield; i.e., more water is taken out than can be replenished. Along the coastlines of certain countries, such as Libya and Israel, increased water usage associated with population growth has caused a lowering of the water table and the subsequent contamination of the groundwater with saltwater from the sea.
