The factors to be carefully studied before selecting a site for sinking a well are: (i) Topography: The valley regions are more favourable than the slopes and the top of hill rocks. (ii) Climate: Maximum temperature, the annual rainfall region, intensity of sunlight and humidity are of considerable value. Semi-arid zones are more favourable than […]

Hydrological Cycle (With Diagram) | Hydrogeology
Article shared by :
This article provides a diagram of hydrological cycle. The rain water that falls on the ground surface is divided into three parts: They are: (i) One part directly returns to the air as water vapour by evaporation and transpiration from plants. (ii) Another part flows over the surface in rivers and ultimately reaches sea or […]
Types of Aquifers (With Diagram) | Hydrogeology
Article shared by :
A geological formation that is water bearing or saturated with water and is capable of yielding sufficient quantity of water for economic exploitation is termed as aquifers. Aquifer serves as a transmission conduct from storage reservoirs. It transports water from recharge area to surface bodies of water and other collecting devices. There are many types […]
