BrandTech Vacuum Conversion Unit Calculator (Pressure) Vacuum Depth Calculator. **Vacuum measurements in the USA are often made in inches of mercury below atmospheric pressure. The values calculated here assume standard atmospheric pressure of 29.92 inches of mercury.
Perched aquifer: Localized zone of saturation above the main water table created by a laterally limited layer of underlying impermeable material. Permeable/Permeability: Capable of transmitting water (porous rock, sediment, or soil); the rate at which water moves through rocks or soil.Permeable layer: A layer of porous material (rock or unconsolidated sediment); in an aquifer, the layer through which water freely passes as it moves through the subsurface.Pore space: Openings between geologic material found underground.Also referred to as void space or interstices.erched aquifer: Localized zone of saturation above the main water table created by a laterally limited layer of underlying impermeable material.

In the saturated zone the pore spaces (or spaces between soil particles or spaces in fractures or openings in rock masses) are completely filled with water, and pressures in the water are greater than atmospheric. Water in the saturated zone is called groundwater.Unlike the unsaturated zone and the capillary fringe, water in the saturated zone will flow to a pumped well. Water table. The water table is the top surface of the saturated zone.n the saturated zone the pore spaces (or spaces between soil particles or spaces in fractures or openings in rock masses) are completely filled with water, and pressures in the water are greater than atmospheric.
