2. Three formations, each 25 m thick, overlie one another. Constant velocity vertical flow occurs across the formations with h = 120 m at the top, and h = 100 m at the bottom. Calculate h at the two internal boundaries. The values of K are 1 x 104 m/s for the top unit, 5 x 104 m/s for the middle, and 1 x 103 m/s for the bottom unit.
