CALCULATION USING DARCY'S LAW An aquifer system is formed by two horizontal layers. Two piezometers were installed for monitoring, the distance between them is 885m. The upper layer (A) has a thickness of 39m and K = 1.3 x 10-5 m/s and the lower layer (B) has a thickness of 25m and K = 2.7 x 10-6 m/s. THE hydraulic load in the PZA is 60m and in the PZB it is 40m. Calculate the flow and the transmissivity of each layer.
