A confined aquifer with transmissivity 7.0x10-3 m2/s and storativity 5.0x10-4 is pumped by two wells 35 m apart. One well is pumped at 7.6 liter/s and one at 15.2 liter/s. Plot the drawdown h0-h as a function of position along the line joining the two wells at a time 4 hours after the start of pumping

Groundwater Flow

The term groundwater refers to the water which is found beneath the earth's surface. Pores present in the soil and rocks with fractures make a passage for rainwater to enter the earth's surface and deposit as groundwater. The flow nature and direction of groundwater under the earth's surface directly impacts the strength and compressibility of the soil, which reflects its ability to support structural loads.
