The Location of Groundwater
Unsaturated Zone – rain water passes through this zone Saturated Zone – where the water collects These two zones meet at a boundary called the water table
4
Groundwater moves SLOOOOOW
Have students demonstrate the speed of water flow. River = sprint Lake = walk GW = slide
5
Aquifers A rock layer that stores groundwater and allows the flow of groundwater is called an aquifer
6
Aquifers The more open spaces between particles in an aquifer, the more water the aquifer can hold The percentage of open space between individual rock particles in a rock layer is called porosity
7
1. 3D Aquifer – play around with the diagram. 3. MapMaker
