Explanation / Answer

1

Darcy's law is used to compute flow and velocity of ground water.

Recharge defines capture zone near a pumping well.

Retardation caused by the adsorption of contaminants.

Brake through curve denotes amount of water entering a shallow well.

Drawdown refers to arrival of contaminants entering into well
