A confined aquifer is 50 m thick and 0.5 km wide. Two observation wells are located 1.4 km apart in the direction of flow. Head in well No. 1 is 50m and in well No. 2 is 42m. Hydraulic conductivity is 0.7 m/day. Effective porosity is 25%. A ship carrying chemicals sank near the observation well no 1 and chemicals somehow reach the groundwater. How long it will take for the chemicals to reach Well no 2?

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.
