A certain section of the aquifer has a width of 3m and a thickness of 30m. The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is 34.5m/day, the transmissivity is m2/day and the discharge (Q) through this aquifer section is m3/day. (NB: all answers to zero decimal places).

A well with a 0.25-m diameter fully penetrates an unconfined aquifer that is 20 m thick. The well has a discharge of 0.015 m ・ s−1 and a drawdown of 8 m. If the flow is steady and the hydraulic conductivity is 1.5 × 10−4 m ・ s−1, what is the height of the piezometric surface above the confining layer at a site 80 inches from the well?
A 0.34 m diameter well fully penetrates an unconfined aquifer which is 33.2 m thick. The drawdown at the pumping well is 1.34 m and the permeability of the gravel aquifer is 4.32 * 10-3 m/s. If the flow is steady-state and the discharge is 422.3 lt/min, a- find the drawdown at the site 132.4 m from the center of the pumping well, b- determine the radius of influence ‘r∞’ of this well under that discharge.

A well with a diameter of 18 in. penetrates an unconfined aquifer that is 100ft thick. Two observation well are located at 100 ft and 235 ft from the well, and the measured drawdownsare 22.2ft and 21ft, respectively. Flow is steady and the hydraulic conductivity is 1400 gpd/ft^2. What is the steady-state rate of discharge from the well?
A 45-cm well penetrates an unconfined aquifer of saturated thickness 30 m completely. Under a steady pumping rate for a long time the drawdowns at two observation wells 15 and 30 m from the well are 5.0 and 4.2 m respectively. If the permeability of the aquifer is 20 m/day, determine the discharge and the drawdown at the pumping well. Ans. 2556 lpm; 10.54 m
A 1m diametee well penetrates vertically through a confined aquifer 30m thick. When the well is pumped at 113 m^3/hr , the drawdown in a well 15m away is 1.8m, in another well 50m away, it is 0.50m. What is the approximate drawdown in the pumped well?
Calculate the transmissivity of the confined aquifer if the flow is along the strata consist of a 3 layers. The upper layer consist of gravel of 400 cm having hydraulic conductivity of 2.0 cm/sec. The middle layer consists of the fine sand of thickness 300 cm, having hydraulic conductivity of 0.002 cm/sec. The bottom layer consists of coarse sand of thickness 400 cm, having hydraulic conductivity of 0.01 cm/sec.
This is for hydrology. How would I calulate the time it would take for the plume to reach the next well in it's path? Plume is moving in a southeast direction with with the next well at a distance of 61.2m away with a hydraulic gradient of 0.15m between the two wells. Here is the other information I have. Thank You A confined aquifer with the top of the aquifer about 13.5 m below the surface. The aquifer is 5.5 m thick and is bounded by impervious rock below (forming the datum for the hydraulic head measurements) and a clay aquitard above. Analysis of the aquifer material reveals a bulk density of 1.75 g/cm3, porosity of 0.35 and 0.55% organic carbon. After a pumping test, you calculate that the transmissivity of the aquifer is 0.00025 m2/s and the storativity is 0.000055. What monitoring well(s) would you next expect to see toluene found in and in approximately how long?
A single pumping well, with a flow rate of 250 gpm, fully penetrates a confined aquifer. The aquifer has a saturated thickness of 110 ft, hydraulic conductivity of 20 ft/d, and storage coefficient of 0.00050. Due to outcropping of the aquifer, a no-flow zone exists 200 ft east of the pumping well and extends as a straight line to both north and south. An observation well is located 100 ft south and 120 ft east of the pumping well. Drawdown in feet at the observation well at time t=1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 240, 480, 600, 720, 840, 960, 1200, and 1440 min after the well is turned on. Plot the drawdown vs. log time. Change the boundary type to a constant head boundary and plot the drawdown vs. log time. Combine the two plots into a single graph (both boundary types - same graphic)
