The 2008 CIA World Factbook The surface of this underground sheet of water is technically called "water table" or ground-water level. The Home Medical Library, Volume V (of VI) Above the zone of saturation gravity carries the water downward in devious courses until it reaches the water table. The Economic Aspect of Geology Another long-term threat to growth is the deterioration in the environment - notably air pollution, soil erosion, and the steady fall of the water table especially in the north. The 2005 CIA World Factbook The precipitation was plentiful during the winter months so that the water table was sufficient to tide over a slightly dry June and a much more serious drought in September and early October. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 43rd Annual Meeting Rockport, Indiana, August 25, 26 and 27, 1952 Deterioration in the environment - notably air pollution, soil erosion, and the steady fall of the water table, especially in the north - is another long-term problem. The 2008 CIA World Factbook The water is not at rest, but has a slow and well-defined motion, the rate of which depends upon the porosity of the soil and also upon the inclination or gradient of the water table. The Home Medical Library, Volume V (of VI) Thereafter its course is determined largely by the lowest point of escape from the water table. The Economic Aspect of Geology Another long-term threat to growth is the deterioration in the environment - notably air pollution, soil erosion, and the steady fall of the water table especially in the north.

Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Seventh Annual Report Wooster, Ohio, September 3, 4, 5, 1946 Because of the preceding warm February the ground was for the most part unfrozen, so that, instead of running off, the water was largely absorbed in the soil, and thus added to the water table. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 The Chinese chestnut cannot withstand a high water table, or free standing water, but appears to be somewhat resistant to drought injury when once well established. Northern Nut Growers Association Incorporated 39th Annual Report at Norris, Tenn. September 13-15 1948 Between the point of entrance and the point of escape from the water table, the water follows various courses, depending upon the porosity and the openings in the rocks. The Economic Aspect of Geology The more common practice is to lay the curb and water table in one piece, or as a monolith, but this is by no means universal practice. Concrete Construction Methods and Costs In the case of the Powádh there has been in some places over irrigation considering how near the surface the water table is. The Panjab, North-West Frontier Province, and Kashmir They heard much talk about water tables, about springs undercutting rock formations.

Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 The depth or thickness of the oxide zone depends on topography, depth of water table, climatic conditions, and speed of erosion.

Concrete Construction Methods and Costs A first-class walnut orchard can only be produced upon first-class land, deep, fertile soil, a low water table, an open subsoil, with choice varieties, grafted upon the most suitable stock and then given first-class tree-care. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Second Annual Meeting Ithaca, New York, December 14 and 15, 1911 The water table, in short, should be lowered to the proper depth, and, by permanent outlets at that depth, be prevented from ever rising, for any considerable time, to a higher level. Draining for Profit, and Draining for Health Somewhere, from the submerged consciousness of forgotten college lore came memory that the water table lay ten feet deep beneath the Desert silt. The Freebooters of the Wilderness Consequently the presence of oxide ores below the water table is not necessarily proof that the water table has risen since their formation. The Economic Aspect of Geology The concrete for the water table was deposited in this form in sections and brought to surface by straight edge riding on wooden strips nailed across the form and properly set to slope, etc. Concrete Construction Methods and Costs The practice is either to bore through to the water table with a man-operated auger and then insert the pipe, or to drive the latter down with a heavy sledge hammer.

The New York Subway Its Construction and Equipment I saw C.C.C. boys and W.P.A. workers building check-dams and small ponds and terraces to raise the water table and make it possible for farms and villages to remain in safety where they now are. The Fireside Chats of Franklin Delano Roosevelt Part of the material in solution, however, is known to penetrate downward and to be redeposited in parts of the ore body below the oxide zone,—that is, usually below the water table. The Economic Aspect of Geology After the water table had been troweled down and brushed a 1×10-in. board was set to mold the front face of the curb. Concrete Construction Methods and Costs Which are the best fruit trees to plant on black adobe soil with water table between 3 and 4 feet from surface? One Thousand Questions in California Agriculture Answered In other words, the water table is an irregular surface; and under the influence of gravity the water tends to move from the high to the low points of this surface. The Economic Aspect of Geology If, for example, in some local area the water table continues to drop and the topsoil to blow away, the land values will disappear with the water and the soil. The Fireside Chats of Franklin Delano Roosevelt The space between the water table and the earth's surface is sometimes referred to as the vadose zone or the zone of weathering, since it is the belt in which weathering processes are most active. The Economic Aspect of Geology Present surface conditions, of low relief, considerable humidity, and with the water table usually not more than 100 feet from the surface, do not promise ore deposits at great depth. The Economic Aspect of Geology The top surface of this zone is called the water table, or the ground-water level. The Economic Aspect of Geology Because of the influence of capillarity, the water table is not a horizontal surface. The Economic Aspect of Geology The carrying down of lead in solution and its deposition below the water table as a secondary sulphide is not proved on any extensive scale. The Economic Aspect of Geology Rich silver ores are found below the water table, but mainly in veins independent of the manganese deposits. The Economic Aspect of Geology |
