A confined aquifer has a source of recharge as shown. The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is 40m/day and its porosity is 0.25. The piezometric in the two wells 1325m apart is 65m and 60m respectively from a common data. The average thickness of the aquifer is 25m and the average width is 4 km. a) Compute the rate of flow through the aquifer in m'/day. b) Compute the time travel from the head of the aquifer to a point 4km downstream in days.
