| 11. | Goyden s is typically about 6m wide and 25m high vadose canyon with small phreatic passage at the top.
|
| 12. | Groundwater recharge, which is an important process that refills aquifers, generally occurs through the vadose zone from precipitation.
|
| 13. | This capillary action is the " upward movement of water through the vadose zone " ( Coduto, 266 ).
|
| 14. | The caves and the vadose speleothem were reflooded and became hydraulically reactivated as rising sea levels also raised the water table.
|
| 15. | Flow rates and chemical reactions in the vadose zone also control whether, where, and how fast contaminants enter groundwater supplies.
|
| 16. | Understanding of vadose-zone processes is therefore crucial in determining the amount and quality of groundwater that is available for human use.
|
| 17. | The finite water-content vadose zone flux method is derived from the same starting point as the derivation of Richards'equation.
|
| 18. | The vadose zone does not include the area that is still saturated above the water table, often referred to as the capillary fringe.
|
| 19. | Following the infilling process a vadose trench has been cut the length of the passage revealing that the mud is formed of thin laminations.
|
| 20. | This is primarily due to the surface tension of pore water in voids throughout the vadose zone causing a suction effect on surrounding particles.
