ground-water recharge--inflow of water to a ground-water reservoir from the surface.
With respect to water movement, it is not just the total magnitude of porosity that is important, but the size of the voids and the extent to which they are interconnected, as the pores in a formation may be open, or interconnected, or closed and isolated.
In water quality, specific conductance is used in ground water monitoring as an indication of the presence of ions of chemical substances that may have been released by a leaking landfill or other waste storage or disposal facility.

 sciforums.com - Gravity fountain, water reservoir
Temperature of the reservoir water changes the density of the water and that changes the depth the reservoir water has to be to operate the nozzle.
Water hammer devices allow for pumping water up stream but there are losses of water which prevents the water hammer device from being a perpetual motion device.
However, a house is not as high as the column of water to produce the input pressure of county water.

 Environmental Protection Agency - FIRST Description
Because the "index" reservoir has characteristics that are associated with a higher potential for pesticide contamination of surface water, the model is likely to be protective of other drinking water sources which are less vulnerable to contamination.
Reservoir water concentrations may be increased due to deposition of spray drift into the feeding stream or directly into the reservoir itself.
Calculating degradation in the reservoir is for the purpose of estimating annual average concentration values for chronic exposure assessment.

 Building the Baldwin Reservoir, Cleveland Water-Works   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
A covered reservoir of reinforced concrete having the remarkable lateral dimensions of 1,035 x 551 ft. and a height of 39 ft. is nearing completion for the water-works of Cleveland, Ohio.
With mention that the Baldwin reservoir was planned, and indeed partly excavated, as a storage reservoir and its dimensions were not changed when it was made a unit of the new filter plant, further reference to its functions as a part of this development may be omitted.
Water from the filters enters a flume hung to the north wall of the reservoir 21 ft. above the floor.

 Croton Reservoir
Water supplies for fire fighting were inadequate and fires raged unchecked destroying entire city blocks.
The latter reservoir was later eliminated for the construction of the New York Public Library.
Properties adjacent to the reservoirs were also condemned in order to prevent construction on these lands and thereby protect the purity of the water running into the Croton Water System.

A toilet reservoir water dumping valve for sealing the reservoir's water outlet by hydraulic pressure and for controlling the water volume to be flushed.
The dumping valve is situated in the toilet reservoir at the water outlet to the toilet bowl, the dumping valve comprising a membrane housing, and a rod connected to a flush valve.
In a second position, when the water is flushed, the membrane opens communication between the supply line and the reservoir, reducing the pressure on the rod, such that the rod pulls the flush valve away from the reservoir outlet, permitting water to be flushed down the toilet bowl.

 Bay-Res Water Reservoir Rev2-Cutting Edge Components   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
This separates the turbulence of the incoming water and allows the bubbles to settle before re-entering the system, thus avoiding pumping air back into the system.
You may see other reservoirs with 4 or even 6 barbs which claim that pumping the water from your CPU to your chipset and/or video card is pumping unwanted hot water through those blocks and that by adding more hoses from the reservoir you can use the chilly water in the reservoir.
This line of thought really seems foolish when you consider that the water temp will stabilize after a short period of time so you will be pumping the same water with the same temperature through all your water blocks anyways.

 Compton Hill Reservoir Park
Early settlers preferred river water to wells and in 1829, they contracted with John L. Wilson and Abraham Fox to supply "clarified water" to the city by means of reservoirs and a system of six inch cast iron pipes.
Although the reservoir itself occupied only about 18 acres of the block, the remainder was suggested by Kirkwood to be used as a park.
The Water Division built two new 14 million gallon precast/prestressed concrete water storage reservoirs, one in the north cell and one in the south cell.

 Carsington Water, a reservoir with extensive visitor attractions near Ashbourne, Derbyshire.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Carsington Water has been a very popular visitor attraction since the reservoir was opened in May 1992 by Her Majesty the Queen.
The reservoir is owned and operated by Severn Trent Water and exists to store water pumped from the River Derwent at times of high rainfall, to store the water and return it to the river when the river level would otherwise be too low to allow water extraction for treatment further downstream.
The reservoir is stocked for fishing either from the bank or boats available for hire.

 Salem's Largest Drinking Water Reservoir Drained Dry   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Salem has 17 other reservoirs, but Franzen is by far the largest, holding water drawn from the North Santiam River and treated at the City’s Geren Island facility.
Reservoirs act as insurance policies, providing drinking water when use is at the highest in the summer heat and when wintertime storms stir up sediments in the North Santiam making the river water difficult to treat.
Construction on the Franzen Reservoir Rehabilitation Project will begin in May. City officials are hosting a public open house focusing on the project’s construction impacts on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 from 4:00 p.m.

 Water-cooling Reservoir Theory and Construction Guide
One of the nice features of an inline reservoir is that you can mount it most anywhere you want in your system.

 state and local policies for protecting future drinking water reservoir sites in North Carolina
High-quality water is essential to maintain the health and well-being of the citizens of this state.
Because future sources of high-quality drinking water are limited, it is time state and local governments began thinking about what they need to do to preserve those high-quality water supply sources that can be economically tapped for future use.
Surveys of potential water supply watersheds in twelve counties, conducted during the summer of 1984, indicated that in a number of cases the future use of those watersheds was threatened by pollution-producing land uses of various types, such as rural subdivisions, commercial and industrial development, and agricultural practices that contribute to soil erosion.

 Defra, UK - Environmental Protection - Water - Water Resources - Reservoir Safety
All such reservoirs coming within the ambit of the Act must be inspected and supervised by appropriate engineers appointed under the Act by the Secretary of State for that purpose.
The parties involved in reservoir safety - reservoir owners, specialist engineers, and local authorities with enforcement duties - all have a need for an authoritative and developing source of information and advice on reservoir safety.
(January 2002) The Department, through its reservoir safety research programme, commissioned Babtie Group in association with CEH Wallingford to examine the impact on safety of projected changes in magnitude of extreme events, and to consider the scale of precipitation and gale events that might cause risk of exceeding the capacity of existing dams.
