*A farm overlies a sandstone aquifer. In map area, the farm is 1 mile square with sides oriented N-S and E-W. The aquifer underneath it is 65 ft (19.8 m) thick in the vertical direction, and has an average hori- zontal hydraulic conductivity of Ky = Ky= 25 ft/day (7.6 m/day) and an effective porosity ne = 0.16. Layers above and below the sandstone have much lower K. Flow in the aquifer is horizontal, and the magnitude of the average hydraulic gradient in the area is |ah/əx| = 0.006. Groundwater Aow is about due east
