Can you solve both 

mostly need part (a)

 

thank you

(a) In Problem 2 you solved for the flow out of both the confined and unconfined aquifers
at L = 1200 m. In this problem, the overlying unconfined aquifer is leaking into the
confined aquifer below at a rate of 3x10-4 m/day. Plot the piezometric head profile (h(x))
for the confined aquifer in Problem 2.
