An aquifer is overlain by 15 m of jointed rock. The density of the rock is 2500 kg/m. The density and compressibility of water are 1000 kg/m and 4.5 x 10-10 m2/N (Pa), respectively. Illustrate the system Calculate the total stress acting on the top of the aquifer. If the pressure head in the aquifer is 22 m, calculate the effective stress in the aquifer. If the aquifer is pumped and the hydraulic head at some point reduced by 5 m, what will be the resulting changes the pressure head, the fluid pressure, the effective stress, and the total stress? If the compressibility of the aquifer is 5 x 10° m-/N and its thickness is 7 m, how much compaction will the aquifer undergo during the head reduction in part (c)?
