ponded

A little later they came around a very wide, sweeping curve of the river into what was almost a small lake of its ponded waters.

The term is also used for temporary accumulation of water from surface runoff (ponded water).

Although the ponded water that fills vernal pools comes and goes throughout the year, it is present at least for a short time in most years.

Water is applied to a closed-top system, which permits the imposition of negative head or pressure on the ponded water surface.

Turnbull punched buttons and the meter-wide screen lit up with a view of the raft across the ponded water behind the dam.

It is a tradition for students to get ponded (thrown into one of the two fountains located on campus) by their peers on their birthday.

Negative tension can be considered as simulating a positive soil air pressure, created by a negative air pressure above ponded surface water.

Together the mills and on-stream lakes give the river a 'stepped' profile with slower flowing 'ponded' sections upstream of these structures.

Pondcypress (Society of American Foresters Type 100) is found in certain Carolina Bays with ponded water.

Very smooth plains material flanks some scarps and ridges and, if the material is ponded extrusives or mass-wasted products, may postdate the structures.

The only note on using this formula is that one must assume that , the water head or the depth of ponded water above the surface, is negligible.

Single and double ring infiltrometer only measures flow under ponded (saturated) conditions, and when used in soil with distinct macropores, preferential flow will dominate the flow.

The cone is capped with flat-lying basalt which once filled the crater, but erosion has modified the original cone, exposing the once ponded basalt lava lake.

Ponded water - Surface water that collects and ponds in a cave before freezing will form a clear ice mass, and can be tens of metres thick and of great age.

While these species were suited to the ponded nature of the river below Sykehouse, the river above there is faster flowing, and more suitable for riverine species of fish such as chub and dace.

The ponded water is of some benefit as it minimizes fine tailings from being transported by wind into populated areas where the toxic chemicals could be potentially hazardous to human health; however, it is also harmful to the environment.

In this model the ponded water is assumed to be equal to and the head of dry soil that exists below the depth of the wetting front soil suction head is assumed to be equal to .

He derived the theory for one dimensional infiltration and developed equations which described the infiltration on both a short term and long term scale, with the revelation that when ponded infiltration in uniform soils occurs, the flow will approach the saturated hydraulic conductivity:
