General Overview 

This floor-standing unit is the only Hydrology System that includes features making it 
suitable for studying fluvial geomorphology.  It combines the capabilities of the S10 
Rainfall Hydrographs and S11 Ground Water Flow Unit into a single comprehensive 
facility.  The system is fully instrumented for investigation of rainfall/run-off 
hydrographs, ground water abstraction studies and unique to this apparatus, fluvial 
mechanics.  

This apparatus sets out to demonstrate, on a small scale, some of the physical 
processes found in hydrology. These processes fall into two related categories: the 
relationship between rainfall and run-off from catchment areas of varying permeability 
and the abstraction of ground water by wells, both with and without surface recharge 
from rainfall. 

Thus it can be seen that it is concerned with that part of the hydrological cycle 
bounded by the arrival of "net rainfall" on the ground surface and catchment run-off 
either by surface streams or well abstraction. 

The hydrological cycle describes the complete movement of water between the 
atmosphere, the land surfaces and the water masses of the earth. There are a 
number of possible routes that water can follow in moving round this cycle and these 
are outlined below. 

 

 

 

Precipitation (rainfall) on the land surfaces is disposed of in various ways. What 
water remains after the ground has been wetted and evaporation and transpiration 
losses have been deducted, is termed the "net rainfall" and this may 

i. 

soak into the ground (infiltrate) to join the ground water held in voids (normally 
very small) 

ii. 

fill up surface depressions to form puddles, or 

iii. 

any remaining will flow over the ground surface in the downhill direction to 
form streams and, subsequently, rivers. 

Ground water also flows laterally under the influence of slopes, to reappear at the 
surface either to form springs or to increase stream flow by reverse infiltration 
through the bed.
