An unconfined aquifer of clean sand and gravel is located between two fully penetrating rivers and has a hydraulic conductivity of K = 10-2 cm/sec and an effective porosity of 0.35. W = 1.6 m/year. The water surface elevations in rivers A and B are 8.5 m and 17 m, respectively, above the bottom: estimate (a)  the volumetric flow rate from River B to river A; (b)  the amount of time it takes water to travel from River B to River A. Assume steady state conditions.

Question

An unconfined aquifer of clean sand and gravel is located between two fully penetrating rivers and has a hydraulic conductivity of K = 10-2 cm/sec and an effective porosity of 0.35. W = 1.6 m/year. The water surface elevations in rivers A and B are 8.5 m and 17 m, respectively, above the bottom: estimate
(a)  the volumetric flow rate from River B to river A;
(b)  the amount of time it takes water to travel from River B to River A. Assume steady state conditions.
