A belt on a slope, such as the bank of a stream, along which water emerges at atmospheric pressure and flows down the slope.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - seepage%20face

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

When pumping occurs from a well in an unconfined aquifer, a seepage face develops between the elevation where water table intercepts the well face and the water level in the well. The existence of a seepage face often leads to well yields which are less than values determined by conventional analysis.  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - seepage%20face

The Dupuit assumption holds that groundwater moves horizontally in an unconfined aquifer, and that the groundwater discharge is proportional to the saturated aquifer thickness. It was first designed by Jules Dupuit in 1863 to simplify the groundwater flow equation for analytical solutions. The Dupuit assumption requires that the water table is relatively flat, and that the groundwater is hydrostatic...  1, fiche 2, Anglais, - Dupuit%20assumption

Les structures géologiques confèrent la plupart du temps aux systèmes aquifères des conditions qui privilégient l'extension horizontale devant l'extension verticale. Ceci a pour conséquence que, à l'échelle régionale, la composante verticale de l'écoulement peut être le plus souvent négligée au profit des composantes horizontales ou subhorizontales. Cette approximation, connue des hydrogéologues sous le nom d'hypothèse de Dupuit, est justifiée par l'absence de variations significatives de la charge (ou cote piézométrique) le long de la verticale au sein d'un aquifère, ce qui permet de ramener à deux le nombre des variables d'espace dont dépend la fonction h.  1, fiche 2, Français, - hypoth%C3%A8se%20de%20Dupuit

A group of wells from which water is drawn by a single pump or other lifting device.  1, fiche 4, Anglais, - interconnected%20wells

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT

A multiple well system is a group of closely installed shallow tubewells, usually connected to a common header pipe or manifold and pumped by suction lift of a centrifugal pump. Such a system is also known as a well point system or battery of wells. The individual wells in a well battery may be strainer wells or cavity wells, depending on the characteristics of the water bearing formation. In areas where the water bearing formations are not appreciably thick, or good quality water is available only in the upper layers of unconfined aquifers, multiple well system is often beneficial.  4, fiche 4, Anglais, - interconnected%20wells
