Runoff- Surface water that moves across the surface of land and enters streams and rivers Condensating Groundwater-The of clouds Solar energy water that fills the space recipitation Evapotranspiration from leaves Evaporation in the substrate is called Rain evaporation from ground groundwater Water Evaporation table from oceans noff many cities depend on the ground water for Groundwate Ocean their water supply
• Runoff- Surface water that moves across the surface of land and enters streams and rivers. • Groundwater – The water that fills the space in the substrate is called groundwater. many cities depend on the ground water for their water supply
Water table -the top of the layer saturated with water. Vadose zone -above the water table and below the land surface Recharge area Nonflowing I Water table artesian well adose zone Unconfined aquifer Semiconfined aquifer quichua Confined aquifer Aquiclude(impervious Bedrock
• Water table – the top of the layer saturated with water. • Vadose zone – above the water table and below the land surface
Aquifer-Water entering the soil is either taken up by plants roots or moves downward until it reaches an impervious layer of rock, and accumulates in porous stratum called an aquifer, I.e., porous soil contains water.

• Aquifer - Water entering the soil is either taken up by plants roots or moves downward until it reaches an impervious layer of rock, and accumulates in porous stratum called an aquifer, i.e., porous soil contains water
Unconfined Aquifer - usually occurs near the lands surface where water enters the aquifer from the land above it Confined Aquifer- is bounded on both the top and bottom by layers that are impervious to water and is saturated with water under greater-than -atmospheric pressure Nonflowing Water table artesian well Vadose zone Unconfined aquifer Semiconfined aquife Aquitard Aquiclude Confined aquifer Aquiclude(impervious) Bedrock
• Unconfined Aquifer – usually occurs near the land’s surface where water enters the aquifer from the land above it. • Confined Aquifer – is bounded on both the top and bottom by layers that are impervious to water and is saturated with water under greater-than-atmospheric pressure
Recharge area -the area where water is added to the aquifer Artesian well - If the recharge area is at a higher elevation than the place where the aquifer is tapped water will flow up the pipe until it reaches the same elevation as the recharge area Such wells are called artesian well Recharge area Nonflowing artesian well Flowing Water table artesian we‖l Semiconfined aquife Aquiclude Confined aquifer Aquiclude(impervious
• Recharge area – the area where water is added to the aquifer. • Artesian well – If the recharge area is at a higher elevation than the place where the aquifer is tapped, water will flow up the pipe until it reaches the same elevation as the recharge area. Such wells are called artesian well
