(a) A stratified aquifer has a total thickness of 30 m and is made up of three layers. The top layer has a coefficient of permeability of 20 m/day and a thickness of 12.0 m. The middle and bottom layers have permeability of 15 m/day and 20 m/day respectively and are of equal thickness. Calculate the following:
Review the three cases of flow through porous media shown below. For each case, consider and show/label the total head (z + 2) and hydraulic gradient and explain why or why don't the flow directions (Q) make sense? h₁ h₂ Ah AL Ah AL AL Ah Figure 4 - Different apparatus orientations with the same hydraulic gradient: the gradient magnitude (Ah/AL) is the same in each case and the gradient direction is parallel to the tube in each case. Darcy's law is independent of the apparatus orientation, so the flow rate, Q, is the same in each case, and the flow direction is the same, in this case, parallel to the apparatus (Cohen and Cherry, 2020).

Observation wells were sighted at distances 4m and 9.5m from the pumping well. Using a discharge of 0.4 cubic meters per hour, a steady level is attained at the pumping well. The measured drawdowns at the two observation wells are 2m and 0.25m respectively. Determine the coefficient of permeability of the soil.
