Q

Neuman solution – Three phases of unconfined drawdown

A
  • Phase 1: Drawdown is controlled by the Ss of the saturated part of the aquifer
    • Phase 2: Drawdown is controlled by the vertical conductivity of the aquifer
    • Phase 3: Drawdown is controlled by the specific yield of the aquifer
  • This is called the concept of delayed yield

Q

spots that provide simple mechanism of springs

A

topographic lows

32
Q

types of springs

A
  • Depression spring -formed in unconfined aquifers when the topography intersects the water table, usually due to the surface stream incision.
  • Contact spring - formed where relatively permeable rocks overlie rocks of low permeability. A lithological contact is usually marked by a line of springs. Such springs are usually associated with perched aquifers in mountains
  • Fault spring - Faulting may also give rise to conditions favorable for spring formation as groundwater (at depth) under hydrostatic pressure (such as in confined aquifers) can move up along such faults. An impermeable rock unit may be brought in contact with an unconfined aquifer due to faulting.
  • Sinkhole spring/solution - on karst landscapes
  • Joint spring - when groundwater running along an impermeable layer of rock meets a crack (fracture) or joint in the rock.
  • Fracture spring - ur due to existence of permeable fracture zones in low permeability rocks. Movement of groundwater is mainly through fractures that constitute the porosity and permeability of aquifers. Springs are formed where these fractures intersect the ground surface.
