    Great teaching and explanation. Very helpful! Please answer the question, whether it is necessary to pre-dry the sand of it has some moisture (30%) in its natural state ?

    • @GeosearchInternational
      @GeosearchInternational  2 года назад

      Hi Акыл, Glad you found it useful. The sandy gravel sample in the video is from a river bank and it was completely dry already when I collected it, so I did not pre-dry it. If your sample is wet, and you let the water drain away the maximum water it will contain will be the specific retention - what is stuck to the sand/gravel grains by capillary attraction. In this case it was about 5%.
      So yes, if you want to do a proper scientific job, you should make sure that the sample is dry. All the best, Andreas

    This video is very helpful. Do we need to have specific times that the drainage process should last before we measure the specific retention?

    • @GeosearchInternational
      @GeosearchInternational  4 года назад

      Hi Afor Odama! Glad you liked the video. Actually this video is just to explain the principles, so I just waited a few minutes till the water stopped draining out of the sandy gravel. Normally what we are interested in is the specific yield - how much water we can drain from an unconfined aquifer. For this we need pumping tests with observation wells, and for unconfined aquifers it is usually recommended to pump for 72 hours to get past the "delayed yield' part of the drawdown curve.

    I am a bit behind. Is the volume of a glass standard or they're some calculations?

    • @GeosearchInternational
      @GeosearchInternational  4 года назад

      Hi Stephen, It is a pint glass but I don't know if it is standard or not. I measured the volume by weighing it while empty & then full of water right to the brim. Assumed that the water weighs 1 kg/L or 1 g/cm3, the difference in weight can then be used to calculate the volume of the glass. All the best, Andreas

    question.
    What is the Safe Yield system ?
    When does Discharge and recharge occur ?

    • @GeosearchInternational
      @GeosearchInternational  3 года назад +1

      Dear Gholam,
      "Safe Yield" is an old term to describe how much groundwater can be abstracted from an aquifer without mining it. I would prefer to use the term "sustainable yield", because "safe" has implications of safety. If you abstract groundwater from an aquifer you can do so sustainably if there is a balance between recharge and discharge. Recharge from precipitation or irrigation occurs once the soil moisture is satisfied. Of course we can also get recharge from surface water bodies like rivers and canals, or even from other aquifers. Natural discharge from an aquifer happens all the time, and it is controlled by Darcy's Law. It is what keeps rivers flowing during the dry season. I will try to make some videos about water balance in river basins this year. In the meantime have a look at: ruclips.net/video/9Wmkugy3XdQ/видео.html
      All the best, Andreas

    • @GeosearchInternational
      @GeosearchInternational  3 года назад +1

      Dear Gholam, I will make some videos about it soon. Basically you need to estimate all the inflows and outflows of your river basin over at least one year. Some things we can measure ( e.g. precipitation, stream discharge), other things we can estimate (e.g. pumping rates), and other things are more difficult (e.g. actual evapotranspiration). Things have changed a lot since we have better remote sensing data so the whole water balance exercise is becoming much easier. All the best, Andreas

    what does it mean 101 ?

    • @GeosearchInternational
      @GeosearchInternational  4 года назад

      According to Google: "It means "introductory something". The allusion is to a college course with the course code 101, which in the American system and probably others indicates an introductory course, often with no prerequisites."
