If a very smooth ball is rolled down an inclined surface with zero friction, the ball will continue to roll indefinitely for an infinite time, in an attempt to reach to the same height on the opposite hill!

Textbook Question

Chapter 24, Problem 10PEB

A confined aquifer at a depth of 34.8 m is encountered during the drilling of a water well. The surface elevation of the well is 267.4 m. What must the minimum static groundwater elevation be in this well for it to be considered artesian?

What is the net water budget for a region where the annual rainfall is 890 mm and the potential evaporation is 635 mm? A watershed has an area of 9.84 x 102 km2 in a region where the average annual surface runoff is 305 mm. What is the volume of the surface runoff? 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.
