If these measurements can be acquired over several years, so as to minimise the uncertainty tied to the renewal of groundwater reserves, then the term ΔR becomes negligible as infiltrated water is restored through outflows, and AET = Qe – Qs Water Cycles 29 f) Experimental methods AET can be experimentally determined with the help of a lysimeter, a container holding soil, with or without vegetation cover, for which the amount of runoff and infiltration are measured and compared to the amount of inflow due to precipitation.
In normal periods, the infiltration of meteoric water (rain or snow) on volcanoes, which are often areas of high relief, and therefore receive more precipitation than the surrounding foothills, feeds the production of their steam plumes. In the case of massive groundwater influxes at depth (outflow of an aquifer into a chimney, exceptionally high precipitation) this vadose water sets off volcanic eruptions, as it can vaporise upon contact with hot lava. Explosive eruptions follow, which pulverise the lava plug blocking the chimney.
The important volumes of gravitational water present below ground constitute more and more sought-after reserves (Figure 4). Figure 4 Different types of water on the planet. Water Cycles principal deep aquifers 19 areas exploited by deeep wells from Margat, 1990 Figure 5 Global distribution of the principal deep aquifers. Table 1 presents the estimated distribution of water across the planet. It is only a guess, as the evaluation of groundwater reserves is very variable depending on the author, going from 7 to 30 x 106 km3.
