Water Budget • Saline water • Land Area -- Ice caps and glaciers -- Ground water -- Soil Moisture -- Fresh water lakes -- Rivers -- Saline lakes
Water Budget • Saline water 97.2% • Land Area 2.8% -- Ice caps and glaciers 2.14% -- Ground water 0.61% -- Soil Moisture 0.005% -- Fresh water lakes 0.009% -- Rivers 0.0001% -- Saline lakes 0.008%
Water Budget (Cont.) • Atmosphere 0.001% • Atmosphere circulates rapidly -- 30 in. on Conterminous U.S. -- 22 in. are returned via evaporation and transpiration. -- 8 in. flows into oceans as rivers.
Hydrologic Equation • Inflow = outflow +/- Changes in storage • Equation is simple statement of mass conservation
Hydrologic inputs into area • Precipitation • Surface water inflow (streamflow + overland flow) • Ground water inflow from outside area • Artificial import (pipes + canals)
Hydrologic outputs into area • Evapotranspiration from land areas • Evaporation from surface water • Runoff of surface water • Groundwater outflow • Artificial export of water through pipes and canals
Changes in storage • Changes in volume of: -- surface water in streams, rivers, lakes, and ponds. -- soil moisture in vadose zone -- ice and snow at surface -- temperature depression storage -- water on plant surfaces -- ground water below water table
Mono Lake • Inputs: precipitation; streams; ground water. • Outputs: evaporation; artificial streams.
Hydrologic Cycle (Precipitation Pathways) • Depression Storage - ice, snow, puddles. • Overland flow • Infiltration -- Vadose zone – (soil moisture), interflow -- Gravity drainage -- Zone of saturation – (ground water) • Baseflow-ground-water contribution
Hydrologic Cycle (Precipitation Pathways – cont.) • Baseflow – groundwater contribution to stream • Subsea outflow • Runoff – total flow in a stream • Magmatic water
Energy Transformation • 1 Caloria of heat = energy necessary to raise the temperature of one gram of pure water from 14.5 – 15.5oC • Latent Heat of vaporization Hv = 597.3 – 0.564T (Cal./g) • Latent Heat of condensation
Energy Transformation, Cont. • Latent heat of fusion – Hf – 1 g of ice at 0oC => ~80 cal of heat must be added to melt ice. Resulting water has same temperature. • Sublimation Water passes directly from a solid state to a vapor state. Energy = Hf + Hv => 677 cal/g at 0oC. • Hv > 6Hf > 5 x amt. to warm water from 0oC -> 100oC
Aquifer • Properties: Porosity, specific yield, specific retention. • Potential: Transmissivity, storativity. • Types: confined, unconfined. • Hydraulic conductivity, Physical Laws controlling water transport.
Ground-water flow to wells • Extract water • Remove contaminated water • Lower water table for constructions • Relieve pressures under dams • Injections – recharges • Control slat-water intrusion
