phreatic (or unconfined) aquifers Explanation: See the following websites: http://www.citg.tudelft.nl/live/pagina.jsp?id=50e40a94-07c2-... "Pumping test analysis in relation to heterogeneity of aquifers Analyse van pompproeven m.b.t. heterogene karakter van een watervoerend pakket" And: http://wwwrcamnl.wr.usgs.gov/rgws/Unesco/PDF-Chapters/Append... "aquifer = An areally extensive body of saturated permeable material that will yield significant quantities of water to wells and springs. An aquifer includes the unsaturated part of the permeable body. Aquifers may be classed as unconfined or confined, depending upon the presence or absence of a water table. An aquifer may also be called a water-bearing stratum. Unconsolidated alluvial deposits of sand and gravel, porous sandstones, or fractured limestones are examples of water-bearing formations" PHREATIC AQUIFER Same as unconfined aquifer. UNCONFINED AQUIFER A geologic formation of permeable material that has a water table as the upper surface." |
