Question
a water feature that could be a source of groundwater for humans is found at a location on a hillside where earths surface is lower than the water table. what type of feature might be observed at this location? spring aquifer artesian well unsaturated zone
A spring is a natural discharge point where groundwater emerges onto the Earth's surface when the surface elevation is lower than the water - table. An aquifer is a body of rock or sediment that stores and transmits water. An artesian well is a well where water rises under pressure without pumping. The unsaturated zone is the area above the water - table where pores are filled with air and water. Since the water feature is a source of groundwater emerging on the surface at a location where the surface is lower than the water - table, it is a spring.
