what is a bolson aquifer?
142163
ABSTRACT\n\nThe neighboring cities of El Paso, Texas, and \nCiudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, have historically \nrelied on ground-water withdrawals from the Hueco \nBolson, an alluvial-aquifer system, to supply water to \ntheir growing populations. By 1996, ground-water \ndrawdown exceeded 60 meters in some areas under \nCiudad Juarez and El Paso. \n\nA simulation of steady-state and transient \nground-water flow in the Hueco Bolson in westernmost \nTexas, south-central New Mexico, and northern \nChihuahua, Mexico, was developed using \nMODFLOW-96. The model is needed by El Paso \nWater Utilities to evaluate strategies for obtaining the \nmost beneficial use of the Hueco Bolson aquifer \nsystem. The transient simulation represents a period of \n100 years beginning in 1903 and ending in 2002. The \nperiod 1903 through 1968 was represented with 66 \nannual stress periods, and the period 1969 through \n2002 was represented with 408 monthly stress periods.

Well, there are actually a number of answers to that question. \n1) There are underground springs and water tables, which are why people had wells, and some folks still do today. Most western states have wells that reach into actual rivers that run beneath the surface, approx. 180 feet down. There are also windmills that pump water from underground springs and such.\n2) The polar caps are also almost 85% fresh water, and as they are slowly melting they are even now effecting the tides and current flows. Due to the changing salinity in the oceans, the Gulf Stream for one is already altering its course slightly..\n3) As the water began to lower, it was also evaporating, enriching the atmosphere with an increase of moisture. Thus, making the upper levels of the atmosphere richer, and raising the oxygen levels. Believe it or not, water has a direct impact on the air supplies.. Not many people realize that, but it's true.\n    Good luck with all your answers...

Look at home drainage designs where a barrel is buried underground and filled with rock to prevent it from crushing inward. These systems are used to remove surface runoff and increase absorption rates. Also, look at septic system designs.

aqueous?\n\nany solute dissolved in water is then referred to as an aqueous solution. all acids are referred to as aqueous.\n\nex: HCl(aq) and NaCl(aq)

Amazing how wrong the answers are below.  The majority of the time oil is replaced by saltwater when an active acquifer replaces it when it is withdrawn.  In some cases, the oil is not replaced by anything and the pressure in the pore spaces is therefore reduced.

It is called a wildcat well not a field. It is a well that is drilled in an area where there are currently no oil wells.

after looking around at the usgs fl page for groundwater levels and recent precipitation records, i would guess that your water table has risen somewhat. from what i gather, this is normal fluctuation.  my answer is nothing more than a guess, because the data i looked at doesn't really support any other cause.  (all that just to say "I don't know.)

The water supply was at a higher elevation than the fountain, which created pressure. It's the same principle as community water towers of today.

Before the pineapple plantations, a geologists discovered the large aquifer(Maui Oahu?) and drilled for the artisan well. It is dry where the plants are, wet on the other side of the mountains where it feeds the groundwater.

The vadose zone, also termed the unsaturated zone, is the portion of Earth between the land surface and the water table, and is thus not considered groundwater ("vadose" is Latin for "shallow"). It comprises the unsaturated portion of the soil, regolith or bedrock, as well as the unsaturated portion of the capillary fringe above the water table. The pore spaces in the vadose zone are subject to atmospheric pressure, and so the water is held to the regolith and rock by adhesion (funiculary groundwater), and in pore spaces by capillary action (capillary groundwater). If the vadose zone envelops soil, the water contained therein is termed soil moisture.\n\nMovement of water within the vadose zone is studied within hydrology, particularly hydrogeology, and is of importance to agriculture, contaminant transport, and flood control.\n\n "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadose_zone"

Groundwater moves through pore spaces in the soil & in cracks in rocks.\n\nLarge reservoirs of underground water are called aquifers.\n\nSome aquifers cover hundreds of square miles underground.

A spring is a point where groundwater flows out of the ground, and is thus where the aquifer surface meets the ground surface. Dependent upon the constancy of the water source (rainfall or snowmelt that infiltrates the earth), a spring may be ephemeral (intermittent) or perennial (continuous). Water issuing from an artesian spring rises to a higher elevation than the top of the confined aquifer from which it issues. When water issues from the ground it may form into a pool or flow downhill, in surface streams.\n\nMinerals become dissolved in the water as it moves through the underground rocks. This gives the water flavour and even carbon dioxide bubbles, depending upon the nature of the geology through which it passes. This is why spring water is often bottled and sold as mineral water, although the term is often the subject of deceptive advertising. Springs that contain significant amounts of minerals are sometimes called 'mineral springs'. Springs that contain large amounts of dissolved sodium salts, mostly sodium carbonate, are called 'soda springs'.\n\nWater emanating from karst topography should not be confused with spring water, since part of it is likely to originate from watercourses that may have found its way through the ground from a sinkhole in the surface at a higher altitude. In such cases, it will not have been subjected to as great a degree of ground filtering as spring water, which has continuously passed through a porous aquifer.

Think about sand in a bucket with holes in the bottom.  The sand will go through the holes because its grains are smaller.  In the same way, the smaller pieces of coffee bean can squeeze in and around the larger beans and settle to the bottom.  This principal is commonly used by geotechnical engineers to determine particle sizes of soil.

if it's from an area of high concentration to low concentration, it's osmosis.\n\nif it's from an area of low concentration to high concentration, it's active transport.

forest fires which occur through nature leave a bed of charcoal which when water passes through filters it. when combined with evaporation, the now filtered water can be pushed via the jet stream to neighboring regions.

Typically, headwaters only experience recharge, but a local depression in the land surface can create a window into the groundwater, usually in the form of a lake or swamp.  Water here can flow downstream, and thus can add to discharge.
