APES Chapter 9Dams and Salmon on the Klamath River - correct answer hydroelectric dams, in conjunction with the drainage of two large lakes at the river's source for agriculture, impeded the flow of water and prevented the natural migration of salmon to their breeding grounds; conflict over water use between farmers, fisherman, Native Americans, industry, etc. led to overuse and exploitation of this resource and massive fish kills (increased temperatures, disease, toxic algae); the dams are sch...

Aquifers Questions and Answers Scored A+ Aquifer A geologic formation the contains water in quantities sufficient to support a well or spring. What are two types of aquifers? Unconfined and confined Water table Where the zone of aeration and zone of saturation meet Unconfined aquifer Aquifer free and open to surface of land; water can flow into it from surface of the land Confined aquifer An aquifer surrounded by a layer of impermeable rock or clay that impedes ...

The porosity and permeability of an aquifer define its ability to yield water to wells in productive amounts. CORRECT ANSWER-true For some wells along the coastline that are drilled into porous aquifers, pumps are turned off twice a day (during periods of high tides), since tides temporarily raise saline groundwater levels, causing saltwater intrusion into freshwater aquifers. CORRECT ANSWER-false Most wells are shallow because a significant amount of water cannot be obtained from wells wh...
