In a soil column study, a solute with a concentration of 1000 µg/mL is being pumped from the bottom end of the saturated column. Determine the concentration of the solute at half-length of the column after 20 minutes if the column length is 1 metre; hydraulic head is 10 cm; soil porosity of 25%; hydraulic conductivity is 0.1 cm/sec; dispersivity is 0.05 m; effective diffusion coefficient is 1 x 10-10 m2 /sec.
