Groundwater Flow

The term groundwater refers to the water which is found beneath the earth's surface. Pores present in the soil and rocks with fractures make a passage for rainwater to enter the earth's surface and deposit as groundwater. The flow nature and direction of groundwater under the earth's surface directly impacts the strength and compressibility of the soil, which reflects its ability to support structural loads.

A pumping well extracts water at a rate of 0.94 ML/d from an unconfined, homogeneous aquifer of hydraulic conductivity 13.8 m/d. An observation well at 247.8 m from the well has a steady-state water level of 252.4 m AHD. The base of the aquifer is 174.3 m AHD. Ignoring any rainfall recharge, what would be the watertable elevation at the edge of the well, assuming the well is 161 mm in diameter?
A well 12‐in in diameter penetrates 108 ft below the static water table. After a longperiod of pumping at a rate of 350 gpm, the drawdowns in wells 57 ft and 148 ft from thepumped well were found to be 12 ft and 7.4 ft, respectively.(a) What is the transmissivity of the aquifer?(b) What is the approximate drawdown in the pumped well?
A 30 cm diameter well penetrates vertically through an aquifer to an impermeable stratum which is located 18.0m below the static water table. After a long period of pumping at rate of 1.0m^3/min, the drawdown in test holes 14m and 40m from the pumped well is found to be 2.62m and 1.50m respectively. What is the coefficient of permeability of the aquifer? Express in meters per day. What is its transmissibility? Express in cubic meters per day per meter. What is the drawdown in the pumped well?
Estimate the constant rate of withdrawal from a 1375 ha reservoir in a month of 30 days during which the reservoir level dropped by 0.75 m in spite of an average inflow into the reservoir of 500,000 m 3 /day. During the month the average seepage loss from the reservoir was 2.5 cm, total precipitation on the reservoir was 18.5 cm and the total evaporation was 9.5 cm.

C- A reservoir had an average surface area of 20 km2 during June 1982. In that month the mean rate of inflow = 10 m3 /s, outflow = 15 m3 /s, monthly rainfall = 10 cm and change in storage = 16 million m3 . Assuming the seepage losses to be 1.8 cm, estimate the evaporation in that month.
Example 4.4 A fully penetrating artesian well is pumped at a rate Q = 1500 m³/day from an aquifer whose storage coefficient and transmissivity are 4 x 104 and 0.145 m/min, respectively. Find the drawdowns at a distance 3 m from the production well after one hour of pumping and at a distance of 350 m after one day of pumping.
An artesian well with a radius of 0.75 meters was constructed to pump water from a source with a confining unit height of 30 meters. Two observation wells are 200 meters and 1,500 meters away from the test well with corresponding drawdowns of 9 meters and 3 meters at a steady state.

In a month of 30 days, the water level of a 1375-ha reservoir dropped by 0.75m in spite of an average inflow reservoir of 0.5 cu. Mm/day. During the month, the average seepage loss from the reservoir was 2.5 cm, total precipitation on the reservoir was 18.5 cm and the total evaporation was 9.5 cm. 1. Estimate the constant rate of withdrawal from the reservoir in m3/sec.
Using Meyer's formula estimate the average daily evaporation from the following data; bA reservoir with a surface area 300 hectares, Water temperature=24 degree C, Relative Humidity= 30%, wind velocity at 9m, above ground = 21.658km/h
The transmissivity T and storativity S of a completely confined (nonleaky) artesian aquifer are 1000 m2/day and 3.03x10-5, respectively. A fully penetrating production well is discharging water at a constant rate of 250 m3/hour. Calculate drawdown at an observation point located 200 m away from the production well after pumping for 1 day. At the end of 7 days the well is shut off, determine the residual drawdown one day after the pump is shut off. How would this calculation change if this were an injection well instead of a pumping well, and what would the cone look like?
