What is GW and what is its place in the water cycle?

water held underground in the soil or in pores and crevices in rock.

Liquid water flows across land (runoff)

into the ground (infiltration and percolation)

through the ground (groundwater)

Groundwater moves into plants (plant uptake) and evaporates from plants into the atmosphere (transpiration).

a losing stream a stream or river that loses water as it flows downstream.

What is a cone of depression?

a gradual change, so the water table level around a well has a sort of cone shape.

Aquifer systems

a water-bearing rock readily transmits water to wells and springs

an unconfined aquifer is an aquifer whose upper water surface (water table) is at atmospheric pressure, and thus is able to rise and fall.

an confined aquifer is an aquifer below the land surface that is saturated with water.

Artesian systems

A groundwater condition formed by water-bearing rocks (aquifers) in which the water is confined above and below by impermeable beds.

A flowing artesian system is If water reaches the ground surface under the natural pressure of the aquifer

a non flowing artesian is an artesian well in which the pressure is sufficient to cause the water level to rise above the top of the artesian aquifer but not above the land surface

What are some effects of too much ground water?

the water table, below which the ground is saturated with water, can be lowered

can cause wells to dry up, & is expensive

drawdown is a term applied to the maximum lowering of the groundwater table caused by pumping or artesian flow

Land subsidence occurs when large amounts of groundwater have been withdrawn from certain types of rocks, such as fine-grained sediments.
