In a contaminated site, three monitoring wells (into the unconfined aquifer) have been developed. The east well (surface elevation: 254 m) measures a water level 30 m below the surface. The west well (surface elevation: 279 m) measures a water level 24 m below the surface. The south well (surface elevation: 266 m) measures a water level 41 m below the surface. Please plot the direction of the groundwater flow, and calculate the contaminant's velocity if the aquifer's hydraulic conductivity is 6 x 103 m/s and the porosity is 0.4.

A falling head permeability test was run on a soil sample 12.3 cm. in diameter and 11.4 cm. long. The head at the start of the test was 93 cm. and falls to 73 cm after 38.2 mins. The diameter of the stand pipe was 1.54 cm. Determine the flow rate (in cm^3/min) through the soil. Use head loss method. Round off to four decimal places.

The figure is a plan view of a confined aquifer showing two contaminated zones, 1 and 2. The aquifer has a saturated thickness of 80 ft, hydraulic conductivity of 42 ft/d, and the regional hydraulic gradient is 0.0075 from right to left as shown. A pumping well with a flow rate of 170 gpm is planned to run continuously at the location shown, and form a stable (equilibrium) capture zone. You may assume that the 2500 ft distance from the well to zone 1 is long enough that the capture zone has reached its maximum width. 2 200 ft Determine: pumping well 2500 ft 700 ft regional flow direction 1.

DETERMINE: a. Rate of seepage into the well during pumping
Environmental Enginee... During a recuperative test, the water is pumped out 2.8 m initially and allowed to recuperate. It was observed that the water level rises by 1.45m in 80 minutes. If the diameter of the well is 3.45m, determine by what amount the diameter need to be increased to get a yield of 5 litre per sec under a depression head of 1.65m.
