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.

According to the ground water movie, around 50 % of the river(stream) water comes from the ground water. In the
movies example of two streams on B in North Dakota the stream flow is 90% made of run off and only 10% ground
water. Whereas in case of C., an stream in Michigan, has 90 % groundwater and 10 % run off water contribution. What
kind of rocks are present in these two aquifers?
Group of answer choices
B. is mostly pebbles and gravel,
which are coarse grained rocks
with high permeability and allow
the movement of water.; and C is
mostly dolostone and limestone,
which are fine grained rocks and do
not allow the movement of water;
B is mostly oil rich shale and C is
mostly silty limestone.
B is mostly limestone which are
fine grained rocks and do not allow
the movement of water;C. is mostly
shale and gypsum, which are
coarse grained rocks with high
permeability and allow the
movement of water.
B is mostly silt and clay, which are
fine grained rocks and do not allow
the movement of water; and C. is
mostly sand and gravel, which are

What is the largest size of a spherical sand grain that the Stokes’ Law can be used to calculate its settling velocity. What is the terminal settling velocity for the sand in quiescent water? If you want to use a settling basin (with 3 m in depth) to achieve 100% removal for all sand grains of this size in the water, what are the required size (area and volume) of the basin for treating Q=10000 m3/hr. Assuming water temperature is at ~20 0C and the density of sand is 2650 kg/m3.
