| 1. | However, aquifer characteristics can affect the shape of the cone of depression.
|
| 2. | Cones of depression can be very useful when dealing with contaminant plumes in ground water.
|
| 3. | This conical-shaped feature is the cone of depression.
|
| 4. | Pumping through much water through these wells can cause a cone of depression around the well.
|
| 5. | We typically think of a cone of depression as being a circular feature surrounding the pumped well.
|
| 6. | As the cones of depression spread out, they'll intercept the river's water long before any consumers run short.
|
| 7. | The outer edge of that cone of depression is now beginning to suck water from the San Pedro.
|
| 8. | This cone of depression can act to capture the contaminant flow ( essentially pulling it out of the aquifer ).
|
| 9. | Often, a well can be placed near a contaminant plume and pumped at a sufficient rate to create a cone of depression.
|
| 10. | The shape of the cone of depression also can be affected when the cone intersects a source of water, such as a lake or stream.
