Groundwater Model

Explore a groundwater model and learn about the water under the earth's surface. Find out where water flows, how it can carry pollution, and how human activities can impact aquifer drinking water sources.

Don’t know how I ended up here but it was pretty interesting

Very useful example to understand how the polution behave and what are the effects on mineral water below the surface Thanks ❤️

After watching this video, I'm bound to say you explained well this topic then my tutor.

NICE LECTURE REALLY I WAS INTERSTED

[@calebhutchings5287]

This helped me understand.

So glad the video was helpful to you!

Amazing explanation!!!

[@adriennehofman1481]

thank you for this!

How does so much water flow through the clay though

[@warrencountyswcd]

Thank you for watching the Groundwater Model video. While you are correct that clay often has almost no permeability and is essentially a barrier which water cannot flow through thus forming an aquitard, there is still limited water flow within aquitards due to clay's high porosity and pressure fluxes underground. Laboratory measurements and regional groundwater flow modeling have demonstrated that the permeability of aquitard (clay) is not zero but does have a very slow rate of water movement.

Good day! Tell me please, is there any information on the distribution of the depression cone in the confined aquifer? For some reason, they always depict a funnel passing through a waterproof layer. How can it spread evenly through the clay layer? It seems to me that the depression funnel in the confined horizon should be enclosed between the impermeable layers, or am I wrong? Thanks!

Thank you for your comment. The US Geological Survey has a document on confined versus unconfined aquifers that may address your question. It can be found at pubs.usgs.gov/circ/circ1186/pdf/boxa.pdf

Hi, Water cannot flow through clay. Clay acts like a aquitard. Is it sandy clay or smth? Can you explain how water flow through that layer pls
