A syphon of diameter 200 mm connects two reservoirs having a difference in elevation of 15 m. The total length of the syphon is 600 m and the summit is 4 m above the water level in the upper reservoir. If the separation takes place at 2.8 m of water absolute, find the maximum length of syphon from upper reservoir to the summit. Take f = .004 and atmospheric pressure = 10.3 m of water.

Q- A tube-well of 20 cm diameter fully penetrates a horizontal, homogeneous and isotropic confined aquifer of infinite horizontal extent. The aquifer is of 30 m uniform thickness. A steady pumping at the rate of 40 litres/s from the well for a long time results in a steady drawdown of 4 m at the well face. The subsurface flow to the well due to pumping is steady, horizontal and Darcian and the radius of influence of the well is 245 m. Find the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer (in m/day).

Water is recharged to an aquifer through a well of 200mm diameter penetrating up to the base of the aquifer. The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is 19m d^(-1). During recharge, the water level in the well is 32m from the base of the aquifer. A constant height of 27m above the same base is obtained at a distance of 200m from the well i.
