A confined aquifer has a thickness of 85 ft. An 86-in diameter well drilled to the bottom of the aquifer, as shown in fig 3-10, if the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is 10 ft / day, and if water is originally 170 ft deep in the well, calculate approximately the maximum rate of flow that can be pumped from the well without dewatering any part of the aquifer. Assume 1000 ft reasonable value for the radius of influence. What will be the average velocity ( Darcy velocity ) of flow in the aquifer at a distance 20 ft from the center of the well?

Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.
