Text: groundwaterRefers to groundwater seeping into the ground and all the pores filled with water. Until now, air water is the most abundant groundwater resources are part of the groundwater in the hydrologic cycle. Ordinary atmospheric water from surface water and rain into lakes, rivers and underground. Before reappearing surface, groundwater and sometimes in the ground for a long time. Initially feels incredible that, under our feet "solid" in the land that had enough space to store all these water.However, the storage space required for a wide variety of groundwater. Loose sand and gravel have many particles, such as sand and gravel, pore between them is the most common groundwater in storage space. Water beds made up of these particles are very common, usually located below the unseen soil, carry coarse sediment flowing rivers once flowed where all can find their trail. For example, covering North America's great ice melting of the ice age, large volumes of water flowed from there. Always carry some stones, gravel and sand in the water, these particles will precipitate as the deceleration of flow, this is known as the glacial outwash.Modern ice-water deposition, although the amount is relatively small. Carrying sand and gravel rivers or streams from Valley stream to a relatively flat ground, gravel as water velocity slows down gradually; water typically fan-shaped spread, they carry the fan-shaped sand will settle for the smooth slope. When rivers flow into lakes and oceans, also there will be precipitation, settling initially in the bottom of the lake or the sea, but when the rise of the sea level falls or the land in the future, they will be distributed in the inland, often thousands of metres thick.Lowland areas may be used anywhere on the riverbed, subsequent covering by soil now and look like. If the old riverbed and the bar is now located below the groundwater level, there must be a lot of groundwater extraction in between their sand and gravel.Above said is loose sediments, those solid sediments, also has a capillary holes to accommodate tens of thousands of meters of water. Because the initial gaps between particles are usually not entirely chemicals by cementation filling, and part of the grain is likely to seep into ground water dissolved after the cure or the cure; results of sandstone ultimately be as porous as formed the loose sand.Therefore, whether sediments are loose or are substantial, there must be space in them. Most of the crystalline rocks are very hard, but there are exceptions, the most common is basalt, which is a kind of solidified lava, often filled with tiny bubbles, which becomes very porous.The porosity of the rock refers to the proportion of space. But is in need of attention, porosity and permeability were different. Permeability is a measure of the ease with which water osmotic substance, it depends on the individual gaps, and the connection between crack size.When filled with water, sediment or rock when samples are placed in the appropriate drying environment, much of the water will drain, but there are still some water will continue to be attached to a solid surface. If it were not because of surface tension, the moisture will evaporate immediately, leaving only the dry sample. Therefore, the water content of a sample including both can be drained of water, also not draining water.Both relative water content of rock or sediment types and changes, even if they have the same proportion of pores, also depends on the pore size. If the hole is large, with droplets of water form, too heavy enough to overcome the surface tension, will be leaving, but if the pores are small enough, the water will be as thin films, so unable to overcome surface tension, so as to firmly adhere to the pore surfaces.
