Circle the correct answer of the following (True/False)
Groundwater flows faster that surface water(T/F)
Water table is the locus of points where water pressure is zerorelative pressure (T/F)
Aquiclude is a synonym to confining layer(T/F)
Perched water table is a water table that forms below arestrictive layer near the soil surface (T/F)
In confined aquifer, hydraulic gradient equals to the slope ofthe piezometric surface (T/F)
In unconfined aquifer, hydraulic gradient is the water derivingforce and equals to slope of water table surface(T/F)
oceans lose more water by evaporation than they gain byprecipitation (T/F)
Land surfaces receive more water as precipitation than theylose by evapotranspiration (T/F)
Residence time of lakes is lower than that in rivers(T/F)
Residence time is the time required to replace a given oceanconstituent by river supply (T/F)
Residence time tells how quickly or slowly a river constituentcan respond to a change in the constituent supply or removal rates(T/F)
