Question
Chapter 18, Problem 1LC
To determine
The amount of runoff influenced by impermeable surfaces during rain in a desert.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1LC
The impermeable surfaces cause the high amount of runoff during rain in a desert.
Explanation of Solution
Impermeable surfaces do not allow the penetration of water into the ground that causes the high rate of runoff on the ground. The high amount of runoff increases the property damage, soil pollution, and soil erosion. The ground surface should be permeable so that ground absorbs maximum water. The accumulation of more water in the same place leads to the displacement of the upper layer of soil, which results in soil degradation or soil erosion.

Map 2 parts 1 through 7. I need help with the steps and to understand how to complete the assignment.
1) On the map, draw a single red pencil line that represents the kern river recharge axis.
2) on the map draw 3 to 5 additional red lines in closing what appear to be other smaller recharge areas, possibly the locations of isolated individual recharge points.
3) on the map, draw for useful spaced blue pencil lines that represent groundwater flow from the kern river recharge access into the basin north of the river.
5) on the map, draw any necessary, additional blue pencil lines to fully illustrate groundwater flow from the current river recharge axis.
6) what is the groundwater gradient immediately north of the main recharge area?
7) what is the groundwater gradient immediately south of the main recharge area?
