In a certain alluvial basin of 120 km2, 100 Mm3 of ground water was pumped in a year and the ground water table dropped by 5 m during the year. Assuming no replenishment, estimate the specific yield of the aquifer. If the specific retention is 12%, what is the porosity of the soil? (16.7%, 28.7%)
7.19. Wastewater containing 2.01 g/m³ of pesticide percolates through a soil treatment system. Adsorption has been determined to follow a Langmuir isotherm with a = 1.01 and b=0.003 m³/g. Determine the mass of pesticide that will potentially accumulate in the soil if the cross-sectional area is 20 m² and the depth is 4 m. The dry density of the soil is approximately 2400 kg/m³.
