A 300 mm diameter test well penetrates 27 m below the static water table. After 24 hours of pumping at 69 liters/sec, the water level in an observation well at a distance of 98 m from the test well is lowered 0.56 m. The other observation well at a distance of 34.5 m from the test well has a drawdown of 1.10 m. What is the rate of flow in m³/day?

A dam releases water into a spillway, and then some distance downstream a hydraulic jump occurs. The dam height is 25 m, the initial depth in the spillway is 1 m, and the hydraulic jump leads to a region of depth 15 m. Upstream of the dam may be considered a reservoir. Determine the average velocity before the jump and whether the jump will occur. If there will be a jump, determine the velocity after the hydraulic jump, neglecting any friction losses.
