Group 8 (Chapter 9) 8:30-10:00 t/th

Calderon, Caringal, Evangelista, Librada

1. It is an innovative concept where treated wastewater is further treated to drinking water

standards, and recharged into our groundwater supplies.

Groundwater replenishment

2. It is the movement of saline water into freshwater aquifers, which can lead to contamination of
drinking water sources and other consequences.

Seawater intrusion

3. It is the massive lowering of the groundwater table by “mining” of ground water in a poorly
consolidated aquifer

Ground subsidence

4. It is the leading area of groundwater recharge in the world.

Los Angeles

5. It is a hydrologic process where water moves downward from surface water to groundwater.

Groundwater recharge or deep drainage or deep percolation

6. It is the primary method through which water enters an aquifer.

Recharge

7. It is the primary potable drinking water supply for the City and Borough of Juneau.

Last Chance Basin wellfield

8. The simplest and most straight forward method of obtaining a supply of potable water; to
abstract it directly from the flow of a river or from a fresh-water lake; it is also probably the first
method ever used.

Water Supply from River Flow

9. It is the City and Borough of Juneau’s secondary water supply.

Salmon Creek Water Filtration Plant

10. The geologic section beneath London has made the city fortunate in its geological setting.

London, England
11. The island supports a population of several million people, and in recent years a large part of its
water supply has been obtained from groundwater

Long Island, New York

12. The first attempts to replenish groundwater were made in?

1881

13. Groundwater is an important component in many industrial processes.

Groundwater

14. It is a source of recharge for lakes, rivers, and wetlands.

Groundwater

15. It helps to grow our food. 64% of groundwater is used for irrigation to grow crops.

Groundwater

16. The water moves down into the ground because of gravity, passing between particles of soil,
sand, gravel, or rock, until it reaches a depth where the ground is filled or saturated with water.

Water supply from groundwater

17. It is an excavation or structure created in the ground by digging, driving, boring, or drilling to
access groundwater in underground aquifers.

Well
18. Used to protect that part of the well into which the water is being drawn.

Wire screen
19. Saturated rock that water can easily move through.

Aquifer
20. An underground geological formation able to store and yield water.

Aquifer
21. Used for obtaining shallow groundwater that collects after running off exposed sloping surfaces
of impervious weathered granite are constructed in porous weathered granite at the foot of
these slopes.

Soak wells
22. The bore of which encountered no water above the thin clay layer, so that it had to be extended
to the main body of groundwater overlying the granite directly.

Nugent’s well
23. One of the best known and oldest-established systems for any major city.

Water supply of London, England

24. Were found to be filled with glacial deposits
Valleys
25. Are most commonly drained by rivers and may occur in a relatively flat plain or between ranges
of hills or mountains.
Valleys
26. It is often responsible for the contamination by salt water of wells adjacent to the seacoast.

Overpumping
27. This type of well has been left for special comment, in view of its unusual geological interest and
of its importance in water supply.
Artesian WelI

28. Is often a reciprocal operation for the water drained from one area must be disposed of
elsewhere and may constitute a replenishment of the water supply for the latter area.

Underground and surface drainage

29. Is sometimes dealt with by allowing it to flow down especially excavated bores into pervious
strata located below impervious beds near the surface

Surface drainage
30. Are formed by concrete walls, reinforced concrete tanks or excavated earth tanks, which range
from 500 kiloliters to 168 000 kiloliters

Storage reservoirs
