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.

Question

apart, it takes 8 hours for the water to reach one well from
aquifer's porosity of 25 %. Determine the

7 Yuri wants to determine the permeability of an aquifer. The aquifer has a test well 300-mm in diameter with two observation wells. A pumping test was conducted for 24 hours with the discharge being held constant at 6,481 m^3/day. The first one, 87.94 meters from the test well, has a draw-down of 0.56 meters. The second one, 46 meters from the test well, has a draw-down of 1.25 meters.The static water table penetrates the well to a depth of 28 meters. Determine the radius of influence of the aquifer in meters. Round off to three decimal places.
