Concept explainers

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.

The base of a river in in contact with the top of an aquifer. A truck carrying bags of powdered cyanide is on a bridge crossing the river when a large bump causes one of the bags to fall into the river. The water in the river suddenly becomes polluted by the cyanide with a concentrations of 6.78 mg/L. The aquifer has an average linear ground water velocity of 0.256 m/day. Laboratory analyses data indicates that longitudinal dispersivity can be found through the equation: a = 0.86(log Ls)² where Ls is the length of the straight line path between two points along the path of transport. Find the longitudinal dispersion 108 m downstream from the bridge. Assume that the cyanide solute has a diffusion coefficient of 3.6 x 10 -5 m²/s and the aquifer has a coefficient related to tortuosity (o) equal to 0.8. Find the coefficient of hydrodynamic dispersion.
