What is volcanic hydrogeology

Definitions of Volcanic Hydrogeology

(extracted from various sources and experiences)

Hydrogeology is the branch of geology that deals with the occurrence, distribution, and effect of groundwater. Contrary to popular belief, groundwater is not typically found underground in the form of a body of water, similar to rivers or lakes. Rather the water is contained in the pores, cavities, and voids interspersed among rocks, gravel, sand, and soil in the earth’s subsurface. When useful extractable quantities of water in these geologic formations are found, they are known as aquifers; aquifer means, “water bearer.”

Volcanic (Collins Essential English Dictionary 2nd Edition 2006 © HarperCollins Publishers 2004, 2006)

1. Volcanic - relating to or produced by or consisting of volcanoes
2. volcanic - igneous rock produced by eruption and solidified on or near the earth’s surface; rhyolite or andesite or basalt; “volcanic rock includes the volcanic glass obsidian”

 

Volcanic Hydrogeology is the branch of hydrogeology that deals with with the occurrence and distribution of aquifer system and behaviour of groundwater as resources and as agents in volcanic environment.
