Groundwater

For an introductory college-level physical geology class: a review of how groundwater contributes to freshwater supplies, how it moves through aquifers, and how it is impacted by the permeability and porosity of the ground. We also discuss what happens when wells are drilled into aquifers of varying kinds and the results of over pumping of water. We end with a comparison with oil and gas migration. In particular, we review the consequences of porosity and permeability of under-surface rocks on oil and gas reservoirs, including a brief review of hydraulic fracturing or "fracking."
Content within is based on information available in any standard introductory college geology textbook, such as Essentials of Geology -- Tarbuck and Lutgens -- Pearson Publishing.

I'm surprised this channel has so few subscribers. These videos have the clearest explanations I've found anywhere on the internet.

Finally after so many years of researching on ground water , i found one of the best video which cleared all my doubts regarding ground water,.. great teaching

You're welcome. Glad you liked it. :)

Excellent video, thanks.

Ai what system tells you best when to stop pumping water out so the aquifer can charge preventing the aquifer from drying and the land collapsing squashing the rock

[@rickmessina5396]

Interesting as usual. Thank you again…..

Very welcome

You forgot to calculate water in the air! Clouds have tonns of fresh water! And high clouds contain a tiny ice particles (bigger water resourse than water clouds) 😊

[@eliseolopez2790]

My notes haven't changed from my school days they are a mess ,as long as i understand i guess

[@eliseolopez2790]

Ground water makes 30% of the worlds 3% fresh water ai how can we extend ground water?
