cased to avoid collapse of holes.
TRUE 26. Well screens are very important
items in well design.
FALSE 27. Sealed abandoned wells have the
tendency to contaminate aquifers.
TRUE 28. The retention capacity of the soil in

TRUE 29. The capacity of a formation to
contain water is measured by the porosity of
the formation.
TRUE 30. Specific yield is always less than
porosity.
