peer agreement (net): +5perched aquifiers Explanation: Hola clb, Una sugerencia con base en la información del enlace. Buena suerte y felices fiestas decembrinas del Oso ¶:^) "...A *** "perched aquifier" *** occurs when the porous, water-bearing segment of rock is located atop a layer of non-porous rock. ..." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2005-12-21 06:42:30 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Disculpa, la ortografía correcta de la palabra es **aquifers** sin la segunda \'i\'. Otras explicaciones pertinentes: (Este enlace trae buenas ilustraciones) \"...***A perched aquifer*** is a saturated zone within the zone of aeration that overlies a confining layer. A perched aquifer sits above the main water table. A well may be drilled into a perched aquifer, but it usually only yields enough water for a household. ...\" http://www.uwsp.edu/water/portage/undrstnd/aquifer.htm \"...A ***perched aquifer\'s*** water table is usually highly sensitive to the amount of seasonal recharge so a perched aquifer typically can go dry in summers or during drought years. ...\" http://imnh.isu.edu/digitalatlas/hydr/concepts/gwater/aquife... Por último, un enlace al Glosario de Kudoz con el mismo término: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/897245 (Mil disculpas de nuevo por la \'i\' adicional que incluí arriba sin querer) Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer |
