  16. AQUIFER TYPES Fig. 19.06 W. W. Norton Confining bed

  17. Confined/artesian aquifer Note: aquiclude = confining bed!

  18. The potentiometric surface is a pressure surface It’s the level to which water will rise in your well! Fig. 19.16 c W. W. Norton

  21. Unit Conversions Common units used to measure water are: • cfs (cubic feet per second) • gallons • acre-foot • inches (in precip gage) Need to be able to convert between them

  22. Acre-foot 1 acre-foot = 43,560 ft2/acre x 1 foot = 43,560 ft3 How many gallons is this???

  23. Cubic feet  gallons • 7.48 gallons = 1 ft3 • 43,560 ft3 x 7.48 gal/1 ft3 = 325,829 gal

  24. 12 inches x 12 inches = 144 in2 Length-Area-VolumeL vs. L2 vs. L3 12 inches 1 ft2 =1 ft2 12 inches

  25. Length-Area-VolumeL vs. L2 vs. L3 12 inches 1 ft3 12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 1728 in3 = 1 ft3 12 inches 12 inches

  26. CRATER LAKE Surface area = 579,348,000 ft2 Avg. ann. Precip = 68 in. What volume of precip. is added to the lake in acre-feet each year? • Need to convert units to make • them consistent. It’s easiest to convert • Feet to acre-feet, so let’s convert inches to • Feet! • 68 in x 1 foot /12 inches = 68/12 feet = 5.67 ft • 2) Calculate volume of precip. in ft3 by • multiplying Surface area of lake x depth • of precip. • 579,348,000 ft2 x 5.67 ft = 3,284,903,160 ft3 • 3) Convert ft3 to acre-ft • 3,284,903,160 ft3 x 1 ac-ft/43,560 ft3 = • 75,411 acre-ft/year from ppt.
