CALCULATION USING DARCY'S LAW An aquifer system is formed by two horizontal layers. Two piezometers were installed for monitoring, the distance between them is 885m. The upper layer (A) has a thickness of 39m and K = 1.3 x 10-5 m/s and the lower layer (B) has a thickness of 25m and K = 2.7 x 10-6 m/s. THE hydraulic load in the PZA is 60m and in the PZB it is 40m. Calculate the flow and the transmissivity of each layer.

1. A confined aquifer is recharged by a continuous supply of water from the certain source. The average thickness of the aquifer was determined to be 18 m and the average width is 8 km. The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer was obtained at 60 m/day and its void ratio is 0.1586. The piezometer heads in two wells 2,145m apart are 128 meters and 188 meters from a common reference datum.

Water is being pumped at a steady rate of 500 gpm from a 12in diameter well. Thewell draws water from an unconfined aquifer. The height of water in the aquifer in the equilibrium statebefore pumping is 100ft, and the drawdown at the well at steady state pumping is 40ft. The hydraulicconductivity of the aquifer determined from a pump test is 0.02ft/min. Determine the radius of influence.
