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 […]

The following factors should be carefully studied for ground water development in hard rock areas: 1. In the conditions existing in hard rock areas shallow small diameter wells can at best yield 4 GPM or 250 GPH. The larger diameter wells can store up to 20,000 to 30,000 gallons in a day. A bore well […]
Classification of Subsurface Water | Hydrogeology

Subsurface water can be mainly divided into two zones viz.: 1. Zone of Aeration 2. Zone of Saturation. 1. Zone of Aeration: In this zone the soil pores are partially filled with water. The space between the ground surface and the water table is the zone of aeration. Zone of aeration can be further divided […]
