Forecast <br />In Thrive MPS 2040, a calculation of growth in population, households and <br />jobs based on data about current conditions (e.g., the 2010 Census) that is <br />extrapolated into the future. <br />Full Build -Out <br />Having absolute development under the proposed future land use and the <br />guidelines of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update (see Ultimate Build <br />Out). <br />Geologic Formation Rocks or unconsolidated deposits that form a unit and may be dominated <br />by a certain type of deposit or rock, or may have some other common <br />feature. <br />Greywater <br />Domestic wastewater that does not contain human wastes such as tub, <br />shower, or washing machine water. <br />Groundwater <br />Water stored in the pore spaces of rock and unconsolidated deposits <br />found in the saturated zone of an aquifer (compare to surface water). <br />Minnesota Administrative Rules 6115.0630 defines groundwater as <br />subsurface water in the saturated zone. The saturated zone may contain <br />water under atmospheric pressure (water table condition), or greater than <br />atmospheric pressure (artesian condition). <br />Hydrology <br />Science dealing with the properties, distribution, and flow of water on or in <br />the earth. <br />Hydraulic <br />Conductivity <br />A measure of the permeability of the porous media. It is commonly <br />measured in feet per day (ft/day). <br />Hydraulic Gradient The change in an aquifer's water level elevation over a given distance. <br />Impermeable <br />Material that does not permit fluids to pass through it. <br />Impervious <br />The ability to repel water or not let water infiltrate. <br />Infiltration <br />1.The seepage of water from land surface down below the root zone. <br />This water may move horizontally through the soil toward nearby <br />streams, wetlands, and lakes - becoming baseflow. Or this water may <br />move vertically down to recharge deeper regional aquifers. <br />2.The seepage of groundwater into sewer pipes through cracks or joints <br />in the pipes. <br />Infrastructure <br />Fixed facilities, such as sewer lines and roadways; permanent structures. <br />Integration <br />The incorporation of all planning aspects (e.g., land use, transportation, <br />housing, water resources, and natural resources) into decisions about <br />development. <br />Investments, <br />Regional <br />Investments <br />Investments made by the Metropolitan Council into regional infrastructure. <br />WATER SUPPLY MASTER <br />PLAN- Draft June 2015 <br />COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS <br />
