Excerpt

Aquifer unit

Aquifer unit is a geological formation, part of a formation, or a number of formations that provide water substantially and in an adequate quality for the expected usage.

Aquitard

Aquitard is a geological formation that although insufficiently in producing water as an aquifer unit does, the volume of water that it allows to be released from storage may provide an adverse environmental impact as subsidence.

Compressibility

Relates the change in volume, or strain, induced in a soil under an applied stress.

Effective stress

Represents the stress transmitted to the full-saturated soil skeleton when a force per unit area (total normal stress) is transmitted in a normal direction across the measuring plane.

Hydraulic conductivity

Hydraulic conductivity is the rate of water that an unit volume of aquifer material may allow through under a unit hydraulic gradient such value is a function of its degree of saturation attaining it maximum at 100% saturation, and is also function of water density.

Hydraulic head

Hydraulic head is the sum of two components: the elevation of the point of measurement and the pressure head (assuming nil flow velocity).

Specific storage

Specific storage of a saturated aquifer is the volume of water that a unit volume of aquifer releases from storage under a unit decline in hydraulic head.

Void ratio

Void ratio is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of solids.
