GROUND WATER RECHARGE TECHNIQUES BY CH.APPARAO (Research Associate, ARS, ATP)Apparao Chodisetti
Ground water recharge is the process whereby the amount of water present in or flowing through the interstices of the sub-soil increases by natural or artificial means. Rainfall is the principal source for replenishment of recharge of ground water. Other sources include recharge from rivers, streams, irrigation water etc. An unconfined aquifer is recharged directly by local rainfall, rivers, and lakes, and the rate of recharge will be influenced by the permeability of overlying rocks and soils. A confined aquifer, on the other hand, is characterized by an overlying bed that is impermeable, and local rainfall does not influence the aquifer. It is normally recharged from lakes, rivers, and rainfall that may occur at distances ranging from a few kilometers to thousands of kilometers.

Groundwater is the water present beneath Earth's surface in rock and soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations. About 30 percent of all readily available freshwater in the world is groundwater.[1] A unit of rock or an unconsolidated deposit is called an aquifer when it can yield a usable quantity of water. The depth at which soil pore spaces or fractures and voids in rock become completely saturated with water is called the water table. Groundwater is recharged from the surface; it may discharge from the surface naturally at springs and seeps, and can form oases or wetlands. Groundwater is also often withdrawn for agricultural, municipal, and industrial use by constructing and operating extraction wells. The study of the distribution and movement of groundwater is hydrogeology, also called groundwater hydrology.
Typically, groundwater is thought of as water flowing through shallow aquifers, but, in the technical sense, it can also contain soil moisture, permafrost (frozen soil), immobile water in very low permeability bedrock, and deep geothermal or oil formation water. Groundwater is hypothesized to provide lubrication that can possibly influence the movement of faults. It is likely that much of Earth's subsurface contains some water, which may be mixed with other fluids in some instances.
Groundwater is often cheaper, more convenient and less vulnerable to pollution than surface water. Therefore, it is commonly used for public water supplies. For example, groundwater provides the largest source of usable water storage in the United States, and California annually withdraws the largest amount of groundwater of all the states.[2] Underground reservoirs contain far more water than the capacity of all surface reservoirs and lakes in the US, including the Great Lakes. Many municipal water supplies are derived solely from groundwater.[3] Over 2 billion people rely on it as their primary water source worldwide.[4]
Use of groundwater has related environmental issues. For example, polluted groundwater is less visible and more difficult to clean up than pollution in rivers and lakes. Groundwater pollution most often results from improper disposal of wastes on land. Major sources include industrial and household chemicals and garbage landfills, excessive fertilizers and pesticides used in agriculture, industrial waste lagoons, tailings and process wastewater from mines, industrial fracking, oil field brine pits, leaking underground oil storage tanks and pipelines, sewage sludge and septic systems. Additionally, groundwater is susceptible to saltwater intrusion in coastal areas and can cause land subsidence when extracted unsustainably, leading to sinking cities (like Bangkok)) and loss in elevation (such as the multiple meters lost in the Central Valley of California). These issues are made more complicated by sea level rise and other changes caused by climate changes which will affect the water cycle.
This presentation will provide you basic knowledge on Darcy's law, its application and limitation. In addition ground water contamination and remediation also have been discussed here.
C2VSim Workshop 5 - C2VSim Surface Water RepresentationCharlie Brush
The California Central Valley Groundwater-Surface Water Simulation Model (C2VSim) simulates the monthly response of the Central Valley’s groundwater and surface water flow system to historical stresses, and can also be used to simulate the response to projected future stresses. C2VSim contains monthly historical stream inflows, surface water diversions, precipitation, land use and crop acreages from October 1921 through September 2009. The model dynamically calculates crop water demands, allocates contributions from precipitation, soil moisture and surface water diversions, and calculates the groundwater pumpage required to meet the remaining demand.
These slides describes the permeability of soil in a very lucid manner. This has been posted specially for the students of Diploma and Degree Engineering courses.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

• In 1848 he became Chief Director for Water
and Pavements, Paris. In Paris he carried out
significant research on the flow and friction
losses in pipes, which forms the basis for the
Darcy-Weisbach equation for pipe flow.
• He retired to Dijon and, in 1855 and 1856, he
conducted the column experiments that
established Darcy's law for flow in sands.

3. What is the relationship between

Darcy found that:
1) If he doubled the head difference (dh = h2 – h1),
then the discharge Q doubled.
2) If he doubled column length (dl),
Q halved
3) If he doubled column area (A),
Q doubled. Sand-filled column

Darcy also found that if he used different kinds
of sands in the column, discharge Q changed,
but for a particular sand, regardless of Q:
Q dl

This “proportionality constant” is usually called
“hydraulic conductivity” and often is assigned the
symbol, K. Leads to Darcy’s Law:

Invert Darcy’s Law to express conductivity in terms of
discharge, area, and gradient:
Q & '1 #

This is how we measure conductivity:
Measure area A; that can be easy.
Measure gradient, -dh/dl; can be harder*.
Measure discharge, Q; can also be hard.
*Imagine trying to measure gradient in a complex geology
with three-dimensional flow and few observation points.

This expresses Darcy’s Law in terms of discharge.
We can also express it in terms of “Darcy velocity”
or “specific discharge”, that is, discharge per unit
bulk area, A:
Q dh &L#
q= ='K = specific discharge $ !
A dl %T "
This ‘flux density’ expression is the more common
and convenient way to express Darcy’s law. For
example, it applies even when area is varying, and
with a little generalization also when gradient or conductivity is varying.

Law:

• In Darcy’s experiment, do the drops falling from the

• No! Water droplets accelerate at 9.8 m/s2.
• Assuming no air resistance, the falling water drop has its
potential energy converted to kinetic energy as it falls:

that is, its a conservative energy field.

In a porous medium, the tendency of the fluid to accelerate is opposed
by friction against the grains.

2 ~0
It’s a dissipative energy field. Where does the energy go?
Friction ! Heat; Mechanical Energy ! Thermal Energy
Darcy’s Law
• Could we use Darcy’s Law to
model the falling drops?
• Darcy’s Law works because the driving forces (gravity
and pressure) in the fluid are balanced by the viscous
resistance of the medium.
– Head drop with distance is therefore linear in our simple system.
– If inertial forces become important, the head drop is no longer
linear.
• In short, if the driving forces of gravity & pressure are not
balanced by viscous forces, Darcy’s Law does not apply.
8
9. Darcy’s Law
• What happens if the head gradient is too steep?
– The fluid will have enough energy to accelerate in
spite of the resistance of the grains, and inertial forces
become important.
– In this case potential energy (head) is not dissipated
linearly with distance and Darcy’s Law does not apply.
• How can we tell when this occurs?

Notice that Darcy’s Law starts to fail when inertial effects

Turbulence comes at much higher velocities.

18. Average or seepage velocity, v.
• Actual fluid velocity varies throughout the pore space,
due to the connectivity and geometric complexity of that
space. This variable velocity can be characterized by its
mean or average value.
• The average fluid velocity depends on
– how much of the cross-sectional area A is
made up of pores, and how the pore
