Unsaturated Flow & Recharge

All

		Unsaturated Zone Definition and graphic. (Unsaturated Flow & Recharge- 4)

		Recharge Definition and graphic. (Unsaturated Flow & Recharge- 4)

		Recharge Area for a Confined Aquifer A recharge area is the place where water is able to seep into the ground and refill an aquifer because no confining layer is present. Recharge areas are necessary for a healthy aquifer. Watch the MAGNET video below and answer the questions that follow. (Unsaturated Flow & Recharge- 4)
