A spill occurred at a septic tank and an adjacent property owner concerned about the spill could contaminate their water well which is located 100 feet from the septic tank. Assume the hydraulic conductivity is 0.0164 ft/sec and the water table has a slope of 3%. How long will it take the spill to get to the well. Assume porosity is 0.2.
