Catchments - Storage
8 important questions on Catchments - Storage
What is groundwater storage?
What is the fomula for storage in groundwater?
met:
mu=storage coefficient
Sw=specific storage in mm
h=groundwater level in mm
Why can clayey soils store less water?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What is the formula for the storage coefficient?
- Δ Sw = rainfall
- Δ h = groundwater change
- μ = storativity, precentage of air in the soil
What is the field capacity?
What is field capacity?
Name 4 examples of surface water systems. What is the result of water storage in these systems?
-lakes
-retention basins
-reservoirs
Water storage in these systems results in a more gradual discharge towards the catchment outlet (the discharge peak is lower and reaches the outlet later than when less storage is possible)
How can the snow water equivalent (SWE) be calculated?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
