TRUE OR FALSE

Question

TRUE OR FALSE

5. To produce water, a well must be drilled deep into aquicludes.
6. It is very difficult to cause drawdown in an aquifer, no matter how many wells are tapped into the aquifer.
7. An important artesian aquifer in the United. States is the Ogallala Aquifer.
8. Groundwater recharge is faster during periods of heavy precipitation.
9. Wells which contain pressurized water are called ordinary wells.
10. Confined aquifers cannot become polluted.
11. Water in an aquifer with high porosity and high permeability flows faster than in an aquifer with low porosity and low
permeability.
12. Overpumping of groundwater can form a cone of depression
around a well.
13. If the water tables drop, shallow wells can go dry.

Here are the answers to your true or false questions:

FALSE - A well must be drilled deep into aquifers, not aquicludes, in order to produce water.
FALSE - It can be relatively easy to cause drawdown in an aquifer, especially if multiple wells are pumped simultaneously.
TRUE - The Ogallala Aquifer is an important artesian aquifer in the United States.
TRUE - Groundwater recharge is typically faster during periods of heavy precipitation.
FALSE - Wells that contain pressurized water are known as artesian wells, not ordinary wells.
FALSE - Confined aquifers can become polluted, particularly if contaminants are introduced through surface activities.
TRUE - Water in an aquifer with high porosity and high permeability does flow faster than in an aquifer with low porosity and low permeability.
TRUE - Overpumping groundwater can indeed create a cone of depression around a well.
TRUE - If the water table drops significantly, shallow wells can go dry.
