Storage
Mechanisms - Videos Exercise
1. Explain
the difference in storage mechanisms in confined and unconfined aquifers. What are the key factors that dictate the
magnitude of the two different storage coefficients?
2. Watch
the following videos and comment on the dramatic difference between confined
and unconfined aquifer dynamics.
·
“Stream
aquifer interaction” (under “Education Videos” at magnet4water.com)
·
“Aquifer
response to pumping” (also under “Education Videos”)
3.
Watch the videos on “Artificial recharge” under “Education Videos” at
magnet4water.com and watch videos on artificial aquifer storage. Then explain
why aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) is often ineffective for a confined
aquifer
