unbounded aquifer/unbounded water-bearing stratum Explanation: Credo che "unbounded" sia sinonimo di "free" ma mi sembra che "unbounded" sia più frequente nell'uso. In attesa di proposte più autorevoli... HTH -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-05-01 16:47:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- libero è sinonimo di freatico Quando la superficie limite superiore della falda freatica non è limitata da coperture impermeabili ed è pertanto sottoposta in tutti i punti alla sola pressione atmosferica, la falda è detta libera o freatica. http://www.parcoadamellobrenta.tn.it/progettosalto/progetto_...

Subsurface water: water stored in saturated and unsaturated zones Groundwater: water stored in saturated zone Aquifer: a geological formation that contains sufficient saturated permeable material to yield water to well Aquiclude or Aquitard: contains relatively impermeable materials Confined aquifer: an aquifer that is confined by two aquitards or beneath a confining bed Unconfined aquifer: an aquifer in which the water table forms the upper boundary http://home.ust.hk/~irenelo/main/3/topic3.pdf |

phreatic aquifer Explanation: This is an unconfined water bearing stratum, Umberto was trying to say. It means that there is no impermeable layer above it to "confine" it. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2007-05-01 22:44:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The "falda libera" part relates to whether it is in contact with the surface so to speak. If it rained enough it would fill to the surface "homogenous aquifer confined on one side/laterally" "aquifero omogeneo a falda libera confinato lateralmente" Reference: http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=%22phr... |
