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. Determine: •compute the rate of flow through the aquifer in m3/day •compute the seepage velocity in m/day •compute the time of travel from the head of the aquifer to a point 8 km downstream in days
Give me right solution according to the question. Urgent please A 20-cm diameter well completely penetrates a confined aquifer of permeability 0.088 cm/sec. The length of the aquifer is 34 m. When pumping was kept constant at 78 L/sec, the drawdown at an observation well, 112 meters from the pumping well, was found to be 0.79 meters. Determine the drawdown at the face of the pumping well (in meters).
A well pumps at a steady rate of 70gallons/minute (265L/min). It is located 50ft (15.2m) from a lakeshore that is roughly straight. The well is installed in a 6 inch (15.2cm) diameter hole. The well screen and the lake penetrate the same confined aquifer. While pumping, the head in the well is 6.5ft (1.98m) lower than the head in the lake. Estimate the average transmissivity of the aquifer near the well and report your answer inft2/day or m2/day. Assume that without the well pumping, the head at the well is essentially the same as the head in the lake. Be careful to use consistent units in your calculations.
