Hydrology Question Can you show me how to calculate specific storage S=Ssb. well is 0.3 m in diameter and is fully screened for the entire 12 m depth of the aquifer, which is composed of coarse sand having a bulk density of 2 g/cm3, K of 0.1 cm/sec, porosity of 0.25 and organic content of 0.5%.+ radius of influence of this well can be taken as 3,000 m. What is the steady state drawdown of the well, if the average water use by the factory is 360 L/min. b = 12m S = 360L/m do I have this correct? Ss =
With a catchment area of 50 hectares, a small water impounding reservoir with a capacity of 800 m3 was constructed. If the annual sediment prediction is 4.26 m3/ha, what is the probable life of the reservoir before its capacity is reduced to 400 m3? Assume a sediment trap efficiency of the dam of 25%.
A reservoir has an initial capacity of 45,000 acre-ft, with an average annual inflow of 63,000 acre-ft and a sediment inflow of 180 acre-ft/yr. The useful life of the reservoir is when only 20% of the capacity remains. (a) Assuming the sediment capture rate is unchanged and equal to that of the new reservoir, what would be the lifetime of the reservoir? (b) What are the percentage capture efficiencies when the reservoir is at 100% and 20% capacities?
The porosity and specific retention of an unconfined aquifer, which is spread over an area of 1.3 square mile, are given as 0.375 and 0.145 respectively. Calculate the ‘yield’ of the aquifer if water table is lowered by 3.75 m.
A well pumping test was carried out to determine the bulk permeability of a confined aquifer. The aquifer was overlain by a clay layer 4m thick, the depth of the aquifer was 20m, and the initial piezometric level in the aquifer was 2m below ground level. After a period of pumping when steady state conditions had been reached, the following observations were made:pumped flowrate q=1.637 li/swell radius=0.1mdrawdown just outside well = 2mdrawdown in piezometer at 100m distance from well = 0.2m.Determine the bulk permeability of the aquifer in m/s . Use the format for your answer 1.111 x 10^(-4).

3 wells are sunk in a confined aquifer in a straight line at 25 m intervals. If one end well is pumped at rate of 300 m3/day, the steady state drawdown in the other wells was found to be 3 m and 2 m. Find the aquifer transmissivity. If all the wells are pumped at the same rate of 300 m3/day, what is the minimum drawdown between the wells?
