Groundwater occurs in the void spaces of sediments or in the fractures in rocks

An aquifer is a geologic formation that can store and transmit water at rates fast enough to supply reasonable amounts to wells.
Domestic well – 10s of gallons per minute
Irrigation well – 100s of gallons per minute
Municipal well – 1000s of gallons per minute

Aquifer Recharge is controlled by a variety of factors: ∆
GROUND WATER
SOIL WATER
1. Precipitation variability in space and time (duration, intensity, and magnitudes)
2. Soil type and surficial geology (controls infiltration rates and water storage)
3. Topographic relief (controls precipitation runoff)
4. Degree of evapotranspiration (controls soil-water loss)
![Page 19: Lummi Island Water Resources · 2017. 6. 15. · PowerPoint Presentation Author: Robert Mitchell Created Date: 6/15/2017 9:50:47 AM](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071216/60475e5e934a000b51632668/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Recharge = precipitation – runoff - evapotranspiration – soil storage

Infiltration (and runoff) is controlled by soil type, thickness, original water content, and precipitation characteristics
light rain – more infiltration heavy rain – more runoff

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a term used to quantify all evaporative losses in a watershed
1) Evaporation of water intercepted and stored by vegetation
2) Water transpired by vegetation
3) Water evaporated from soil
ET accounts for about 60 to 70% of the water loss from a slope
lowers water content in soil
