unconfined aquifer in a sentence
Examples
- In unconfined aquifers, the solution to the 3D form of the equation is complicated by the presence of a free surface water table boundary condition : in addition to solving for the spatial distribution of heads, the location of this surface is also an unknown.
- Specific yield ( " S y " ) is also a ratio between 0 and 1 ( " S y " d " porosity ) and indicates the amount of water released due to drainage from lowering the water table in an unconfined aquifer.
- Lake Barco is a sinkhole lake, typical of the region, where unconsolidated deposits on the surface have slumped into the highly soluble limestone of the upper Floridan aquifer . The organic-rich sediments of the lake bottom lie on an unconfined aquifer made up mostly of sands.
- Aquifers are broadly classified as being either confined or unconfined ( water table aquifers ), and either saturated or unsaturated; the type of aquifer affects what properties control the flow of water in that medium ( e . g ., the release of water from storage for confined aquifers is related to the storativity, while it is related to the specific yield for unconfined aquifers ).
- Summation or integration of the energy flux in a vertical cross-section of unit width ( say 1 m ) from the lower flow boundary ( the impermeable layer or base ) up to the water table in an unconfined aquifer gives the energy flow " Fe " through the cross-section in " E " / day per m width of the aquifer.
