3Soil and Ground Water Soil are products of weathering forming:
Residual Soils (weathered in place) Transported Soils (displaced by wind or
water) Physical weathering produce soil particles
of gravels, sands and silts Chemical weathering produce clay
minerals Kaolin, Illite and Montmorillonite (bentonite)

4Ground water All soils are permeable (porous medium)
and water flow through interconnected pores of void spaces
Saturated soils when voids are completely filled with ground water
Unsaturated soils when voids are partially filled with water and air in the form of occluded bubbles held by tension capillary stresses

5Ground Water Table Pressure of pore water is measured relative to
atmospheric pressure Pa (taken as zero pore pressure)
The water table (GWT) or phreatic surface is the level at Pa or zero pore pressure
Atmospheric pressure = 1 bar or 14.7 psi or 100 kPa)
Below the WT, the soil is assumed to be fully saturated (positive pore water pressure)
Above the WT, the soil is unsaturated (negative pore water pressure or pore water tension or suction) where we have capillary water in Vadose Zone

Soil is saturated below GWT GWT is dependent on local climate; balance of precipitation, evaporation and plant evapo-transpiration GWT is also affected by construction activities, especially excavations
Above WT, pore water held at negative pressure by capillary tension; smaller pores give higher capillary rise; in general degree of saturation decrease with height

GWT
Inclined soil layer of high permeability is confined locally by overlying clayey soil; the pressure in the artesian layer is governed by a higher WT at a distant location where layer is unconfined

Balance EquationsFluid Mechanics Balance of Mass (Continuity) Balance of Momentum Balance of Energy (Heat) Most physical problems need the 1st two
balance equations If heat not important, 3rd equation is
ignored for flows in soils8/14/2013
