storage of aquifer
1storage coefficient — 1. The volume of water an aquifer releases from or takes into storage per unit surface area of the aquifer per unit change in head [22]. In a confined aquifer, the water is derived from storage with decline in head resulting from an… …
2Aquifer test — An aquifer test (or a pumping test) is conducted to evaluate an aquifer by stimulating the aquifer through constant pumping, and observing the aquifer s response (drawdown) in observation wells. Aquifer testing is a common tool that… …
3Aquifer — Typical aquifer cross section An aquifer is a wet underground layer of water bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt) from which groundwater can be usefully extracted using a water well. The study of water flow… …
4aquifer storage — Gas storage in an aquifer [16] …
5storage capacity — 1. The ability of an aquifer to store water [16]. 2. The capacity of rivers to store water in their own channel [16] …
6Specific storage — (Ss), storativity (S), specific yield (Sy) and specific capacity are material physical properties that characterize the capacity of an aquifer to release groundwater from storage in response to a decline in hydraulic head. For that reason they… …
7Natural gas storage — Natural gas, like many other commodities, can be stored for an indefinite period of time in natural gas storage facilities for later consumption. Contents 1 Usage 2 Measures and definitions 3 Types 3.1 …
8Ogallala Aquifer — Saturated thickness of the Ogallala Aquifer in 1997 after several decades of intensive withdrawals: The breadth and depth of the aquifer generally decrease from north to south …
9Carbon capture and storage — (CCS) is an approach to mitigating global warming based on capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from large point sources such as fossil fuel power plants and storing it instead of releasing it into the atmosphere. Although CO2 has been injected into… …
10Compressed air energy storage — Conceptual representation of the compressed air energy storage concept. Off peak (low cost) electrical power compresses air into an underground air storage “vessel” (the Norton mine), and later the air feeds a gas fired turbine generator complex… …
