Draw a water well in the ground

Show how water gets into the well AQUIFER: Saturated rock and sediment that water can flow through
5
List places where this groundwater comes from
6
Predict what happens as you take too much water out of the well.
7
How can we extract more water from the well when the groundwater level has dropped? RECHARGE DRILL DEEPER
8
Draw a well that is near the ocean. Indicate what you think the groundwater looks like between the ocean and the well. OCEAN
9
Take your model of a well near the ocean. Slowly pour a small amount of the blue ocean water on the opposite end of the well. Draw water up through your well. Collect the water. As water is drawn from the well, predict what will happen. WELL Ocean Area Pour BLUE WATER HERE

Draw what happens to the fresh and ocean groundwater as water is continually drawn up the well. OCEAN Saltwater intrusion: movement of saltwater into freshwater aquifer
11
Saltwater is approaching your water wells You have been hired to come up with a solution!!!!
12
