Question

The Missequa Valley Protectors understand groundwater is a great dri to understand how the water gets into each of their aquifers, so they can work to protect the supplies for generations to come. Compare and contrast how the unconsolidated, unconfined (UU) and the consolidated, confined (CC) aquifers are recharged. Make at least two of your own assumptions concerning topography of the area and presence of surface waters, which can aid discussion. Compare and contrast threats to both the UU and the CC aquifers, where at least two different scenarios are discussed (e.g. pollution, population change, land use changes, climate change, ..). ompare and otrast hredeat

Explanation / Answer

recharge methods of the consolidated confined aquifer are rock fractures, springs, and deep wells.

main threats to unconsolidated unconfined aquifer are pollution and population change while for consolidated confined aquifer its population, land use change, deforestation and climate change.
