Question
Three soil samples in a permeameter overlie one another with their characteristics listed below. Layer Hydraulic Conductivity, ft/day Length of aquifer, ft 1 10 5 2 0.20 3 0.030 12 a. Determine the equivalent hydraulic conductivity, in ft/day, if the flow is perpendicular to the stratification. b. If a falling head test is used, calculate the time required, in seconds, for the head to drop from 65 to 54 ft. The cross-sectional area of the permeameter and the standpipe are 300 square feet and 30 square feet respectively.
