12.. A dissolved contaminant with a concentration of 20 µg/mL is being advecte d with flowing groundwater at a velocity of 0.45 m/day in an aquifer which has porosity of 25%. Groundwater from the aquifer discharges into a nearby strea m. What is the mass flux of the contaminant into the stream if the aquifer is 2.0 metre thick and 125 m wide where it discharges into the stream?
