An aquifer slopes away from a river, as shown in Fig. 3-7 The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer which is 20 ft thick is known to be 0.2 ft/day. The water is 20 ft deep in the river, and the bottom of the trench is 30 ft below the bottom of the river and 600 ft away from the edge of the river. The trench is 40 ft deep. Will water flow out of the trench without pumping? If so, what will be the rate of flow?
