Chapter 17: Groundwater. Distribution of Fresh Water.

Groundwater What is Groundwater???? The water that has seeped into the soil and rock. The underground area is broken down into 4 areas… 1) Zone of Aeration.

 Last week we discussed how run-off can occur two different ways:  Surface Run-off – water flowing on the surface to streams, rivers and oceans.  Subsurface.

Ground Water. Makes up 0.397% of Earth’s Water. - song.

AIM: How do people use water in the ground?

AIM: What is the Water Table? Do Now: Looking at the 3 jars below, describe the Permeability, Porosity and Capillarity of each.

Groundwater. Groundwater is water that completely fills (saturates) the pore spaces of soil or rock formation below the water table. Water that shares.

Groundwater Where is groundwater located and how do humans.

What is Groundwater ? underground water that fills almost all the pores in rock and sediment -makes up 90% of the Earth’s liquid freshwater.

Ground Water.  Much of the water in soil seeps downward until it reaches the zone of saturation  Zone of Saturation  Is the area where water fills.
