Can we influence our groundwater? www.euwfd.com
26
FQ: What can we do to protect our ground water? ----
27
What are the affects of sediments on Groundwater?
28
Porosity All the pore space
30
Which sample has more porosity? Same
32
Size vs. Porosity Particle Size Porosity Increasing
33
Sorting of Sediments (sorted) (unsorted)
34
Sorting vs. Porosity Sorting Porosity Well Sorted Increasing Poorly Sorted
35
Which sample has more porosity?
36
Shape vs. Porosity Shape Porosity Round Increasing Flat (Clays) (sands)
37
Which sample has more porosity?
38
Permeability
39
Which sample is more permeable?
40
Size vs. Permeability Particle Size Permeability Increasing
41
Which sample is more permeable?
43
*As permeability increases, -
44
Infiltration
45
Size Large Faster Small Size vs. Infiltration Infiltration Slower
46
Slope vs. Infiltration Slope Infiltration Steep Faster Gentle Slower
47
Water Cohesion and Adhesion www.atpm.com/13.10/tim-allen/
48
Water Retention - upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0c/Bottle.jpg
49
Size vs. Water Retained Size Water Retained Large Increasing Small
50
Smaller particles have more surface area to stick on
51
Capillarity —
52
Size vs. Capillarity Size Capillarity Large Increasing Small
53
FQ: Describe the porosity and permeability in unsorted sediments.
