1 Groundwater Pollution Week 03 – 0324 Continuity and Flow Nets

2 1.We want to know where the underground water is going? [the direction of flow] 2.We know that water will flow from an area of high potential energy ( 위치에너지 ) to low potential energy. [from high pressure to low pressure ( 유체 압력 )] 3.The pressure is measured by looking at how high the water rises in a tube. [piezometer] 4.The height of the water is related to the pressure at the bottom of the tube. 5.The pressure can be mapped as lines of equipotential. 6.Water will flow perpendicular (90 o ) to the lines of equipotential. 7.We can draw diagrams of the flow of the water. [flow nets]

5 Measuring the height of the water table, or what it wants to be.

10 Selected Instruments (From: Fig. 2.28; Davis & DeWiest, 1966)

11 Sonic (Sound Pulse)

12 Pressure transducer (Vented or non-vented)

13 Mechanical float & strip-chart recorder

14 Because of turbulence in a discharging well, one may monitor water levels in a “stilling tube”. (Also used for measuring surface elevations of flowing streams.)

15 The Piezometer: A hydrogeologist’s best friend. Applications

16 A piezometer provides a means to sample the hydraulic head at a point in the saturated zone.

17 Think of a piezometer as a long “insertion probe” to measure the pressure (pressure head) at a point.

21 The difference in hydraulic head provides a clue for the consequent direction of flow.

22 Consider unconfined flow.

23 A piezometer in operation: The elevation of water in the piezometer provides a measure of h(P). A piezometer measures the hydraulic head at a point.

24 Example: Potentiometric surfaces (h-lines) for unconfined flow.

25 To what level does water rise in a vertical slotted (screened) well?

27 To what level does water rise in a vertical, continuously-cased well, open (screened) at the bottom?

34 An interesting aside is the direction of flow in the well.

43 Utility of Piezometers.

45 People want to understand the flow of groundwater. There is a problem. The aquifer can be complex. The water can move in 3 dimensions.

46

47 Flow Nets The flow of the groundwater can be movement in 3 dimensions. This means, for steady state, ie no change in the amount of stored water This solution is based on boundary conditions, and in the transient case, on initial conditions.

48 Let us look at the two- dimensional, steady-state case. Maybe there is an easier way of working this out.

49 A graphical technique can be used to find the solution to the GW flow equation for many situations. This technique involves the construction of a flow net.

50 A flow net is the set of equipotential lines (constant head) and the associated flow lines (lines along which groundwater moves) for a particular set of boundary conditions. For a given GW flow equation and a given value of K, the boundary conditions completely determine the solution, and therefore a flow net.

51

52 Calculations from Flow Nets: It is possible to make many good, quantitative predictions from flow nets. In fact, at one time flow nest were the major tool used for solving the GW flow equation.

53 Example of a Numerical Model.

66 Not always a correlation between elevation of watertable and depth of water in well. “Nested” wells can provide local flow direction.

70 (Source: Fig. 7.34; Fetter, 2001.)

71 (Source: Fig. 7.4; Fetter, 2001.)

72 It may be easy to draw a flow net for simple systems but usually the systems can be very complex.

73 Show the video “trans”

74 I recommend that you rely on using two things in combination: 1.Use sample wells to find out the actual underground flows at various points. 2.Use computer software to model the underground flow.
