Groundwater Hydrology - II¶
Head and Gradients¶
Determine gradient (magnitude and direction) from 3-wells
Storage¶
The mechanisms of storage are:
draining and filling of the pore space
compression/decompression of the water, and
compression/decompression of the solids
Estimating storage from mapped water levels
Equation(s) of Motion¶
Darcy’s Law and permeability
Measuring hydraulic conductivity
