Groundwater Flow

The term groundwater refers to the water which is found beneath the earth's surface. Pores present in the soil and rocks with fractures make a passage for rainwater to enter the earth's surface and deposit as groundwater. The flow nature and direction of groundwater under the earth's surface directly impacts the strength and compressibility of the soil, which reflects its ability to support structural loads.

Review the three cases of flow through porous media shown below. For each case, consider and show/label the total head (z + 2) and hydraulic gradient and explain why or why don't the flow directions (Q) make sense? h₁ h₂ Ah AL Ah AL AL Ah Figure 4 - Different apparatus orientations with the same hydraulic gradient: the gradient magnitude (Ah/AL) is the same in each case and the gradient direction is parallel to the tube in each case. Darcy's law is independent of the apparatus orientation, so the flow rate, Q, is the same in each case, and the flow direction is the same, in this case, parallel to the apparatus (Cohen and Cherry, 2020).
