Examples of Aquifer susceptibility in a sentence
Aquifer susceptibility studies within Washington, Oregon, and Idaho indicate that, while there are numerous factors which may be considered in determining aquifer susceptibility, there are three that generally dominate any determination.
Aquifer susceptibility in the vicinity of the well is rated as moderate (Department of Health Electronic Reference).
Aquifer susceptibility – The ease with which contaminants can move from the land surface to the aquifer based solely on the types of surface and subsurface materials in the area.
Aquifer susceptibility is a qualitative measure of the relative ease with which a groundwater body can potentially be contaminated by anthropogenic activities and includes both aquifer vulnerability and the relative importance of the aquifer in terms of its classification.
Aquifer susceptibility: The aquifer is rated to have a low susceptibility.
Aquifer susceptibility is dependent on two factors, the natural environment’s characteristics that permit migration of a contaminant to the aquifer (i.e., aquifer sensitivity) and the presence, distribution, and nature of the potential contaminant sources within the DWPA (i.e., the PCS Inventory).
Aquifer susceptibility is determined by examining the geologic logs for the public wells being modeled and/or other nearby wells for the thickness of any impermeable material, referred to as confining beds, above the aquifer.
