1. No response to climato-
logical changes.
2. Little fluctuation
in flow.
3. No suspended solids in
the water.
CONDUIT
1. Responds to climatological
changes.
2. Obvious fluctuations in
flow.
3. Carries suspended solids at
times of high runoff.
4. Water temperature may 4. Water temperature will

seasons.
5. Parameters indicative of
concentration such as
conductivity and hardness
do not change with the
climate.
6. Specific concentrations
of ions show little
change with the climate.
7. Residence time of months
for the water in the
aquifer.
8. No diurnal changes.
5. Parameters indicative of
concentration such as con-
ductivity and hardness show
obvious changes with storms
and runoff.
