Hydrologic Cycle and Groundwater M. L. Sinibaldi/Stock Market

Groundwater The study of groundwater and its effects is called Hydrology. Uses of Water: LivingEngineeringRecreation DrinkingCoolingSwimming PhotosynthesizingHeatingFishing RespiringCleaningSailing MetabolizingFlushingSkating IrrigatingSkiing

Fig Distribution of H 2 O on Earth

Uses of Groundwater Why is groundwater such a valuable resource? 1.Abundant - 70 times more in the subsurface than in surface reservoirs. 2.Because groundwater moves so slowly it is stored in the earth and remains available even in dry periods. 3.In some regions groundwater flows from humid environments to dry ones, making water available.

Groundwater Water contained in spaces within soil, bedrock, and regolith Less than 1% of all H 2 O on Earth 40 times more abundant than water found in lakes and streams

Groundwater terms zone of aeration zone of aeration: portion of soil and rock near the surface in which open spaces are filled primarily with air (a.k.a vadose zone) saturated zone saturated zone: zone in which pore spaces are filled with water water table water table: boundary between zone of aeration and saturated zone

Geologic activity of groundwater Dissolution (most important in carbonates and evaporites) Cementation Replacement

Springs Locations where a perched water table intersects the ground

Soils and rocks are not completely solid. porosity: portion of volume of a material that consists of open spaces permeability: measure of the speed at which fluid can travel through a porous medium Imagine two vertical pipes, one filled with gravel, one with sand. Out of which one will the water flow faster?

More groundwater terms aquifer aquifer: body of rock that is sufficiently water permeable to yield economically significant quantities to wells and springs aquitard aquitard: body of rock that retards but does not prevent flow of water to or from an adjacent aquifer aquiclude aquiclude: body of relatively impermeable rock that is capable of absorbing water slowly but does not transmit it rapidly enough to supply a well or spring

Rates of groundwater movement Slow to very slow (depending on permeability) Generally within the range of 10 to 100 cm per day

Darcy’s Law Q = discharge (m 3 /sec) A = cross-sectional area (m 2 ) K = coefficient of permeability (m/sec) h 1 = beginning height (m) h 2 = ending height (m) l = length of flow (m) Q = AK(h 1 – h 2 ) l
