A confined aquifer (permeable soil) is shown. This aquifer has a source of recharge located as shown. The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is 40 m/day with a porosity of 25%. The piezometric (head) surface in the two observation wells 1200 m apart are at elevations 65 m and 60 m, respectively from the common datum. The aquifer has an average thickness of 25 m and an average width of 4 km.

1. The evaporation losses from a reservoir with a surface area of 500 acres are 150 Ac-ft per day. If the average outflow from the reservoir is 50 cfs during the day, determine the change in water level from the reservoir (in feet, indicate whether it increases or decreases). You may assume there are not any streams flowing into the reservoir. If the reservoir described above received precipitation of 3 inches over the course of a day, calculate the change in water level (in feet, indicate whether it increases or decreases).

a. The streamflow from a 500-hectare catchment due to a storm of constant intensity of 27mm/h for four hours can be represented by a triangle in which the peak flow was 25 m3/s. The flow lasted six (6) hours and peaked at two (2) hours. The soil texture is uniform throughout the catchment and when the surface is ponded, its infiltration rate varies according to the Horton equation, with a decay constant, k, of 0.5 h and a maximum infiltration rate, fo, of 24 mm/h. Use the information to determine; the volume of infiltration (mm); the infiltration rate at soil saturation (mm/h); and i. ii. iii. the runoff coefficient of the catchment. iv. State your assumptions.
