Subsurface Hydrology

 Aquifers

 Confined, unconfined, perched, artesian

 Saturated & unsaturated zone

 Capillary fringe

More Definitions

 Aquiclude – impermeable layer  Aquitard – less permeable than aquifer  Isotropic – aquifer conditions same in all directions  Anisotropic – properties differ in different directions  Homogeneous – characteristics uniform at different

spatial locations

 Heterogeneous – characteristics non-uniform  Springs – areas where water table intersects ground

surface
