An unconfined aquifer with an areal extent of 101 km² supplies water to a community with an annual water demand of 650 million gallons. If the aquifer's specific yield, Sy = 0.19, compute the change in water table depth over a year. Annual precipitation for this region is 9", of which 4" recharges the aquifer. All other fluxes can be neglected. dt Note: Sy Adh = ΣjIj(t) — EkOk(t), where I; (t) represent fluxes in, and Ok (t) represent the fluxes out.

Calculate the steady-state recharge rate, and find how long would it take for dissolved road salt to travel from the water table (z = −5 m) to the bottom of the unconfined aquifer (z = −11 m)? Assume, η = 0.23.
Q10. From the pumping of a semiconfined aquifer of thickness 31 m and permeability 22 m/d, it is estimated that the recharge rate from an overlaying unconfined aquifer through an aquitard of thickness 2.5 m, is 55 mm/year. The average piezometric surface in the semiconfined aquifer is 15 m below the water table in the unconfined aquifer. Determine the hydraulic characteristics of the aquitard (semi-confining layer) and the aquifer. If a well drilled in the aquifer in is pumped at the rate of 4,000 m³/day, how many square kilometers of recharge area are required to sustain the flow at the estimated recharge rate?
Am acquifer is recharged by precipitation that infiltrates through fertilised fields. The concentration of nitrate in the groundwater is 1.25mg/l. Th4 nitrate is carried by flowing groundwater into a large fish pond the farmer has on her property. The average linear velocity of the groundwater is 0.087m/day and the aquifer porosity is 0.25. The aquifer has an approximate saturated thickness of 2.55m (depth of saturated soil above bedrock). The flow path into the pond is 87wide. What is the mass loading of nitrate into the pond in units of g/day?
