Tracer dye is introduced to a sand and gravel aquifer in a gravel pit. The dye appears 28.5 hours later at a spring located 3.8 km away from where the dye was introduced. What is the groundwater flow velocity?
True or False
1. If a well is drilled into a confined aquifer, the water can rise above its level in the aquifer because of the extra hydrostatic (fluid) pressure; which is called an artesian system. The water in an artesian system will rise all the way to the ground surface.
2. In areas suffered from surface subsidence, solutions such as pumping water back underground are likely to work.
