2. 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 25 m and the average width is 4 km. The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer was obtained at 40 m/day and its void ratio is 0.3333. The piezometer heads in two wells 1.325 km apart are 65 meters and 60 meters from a common reference datum. Determine the rate of flow in cubic meters per day. Determine: • compute the rate of flow through the aquifer in m³/day (10pts) • compute the seepage velocity in m/day (10pts) • compute the time of travel from the head of the aquifer to a point 8 km downstream in days (10pts)

Step 1
3333 - Piezometer heads h1 = 65 m, h2 = 60 m - Distance between wells L = 1.325 km = 1,325 m - Travel distance for time calculation D = 8 km = 8,000 m Show more…
