permeability test was carried out from a well that sunk through a surface layer of loose sand. Figure below shows the arrangement of pumping wells, together with relevant dimensions. Initially, the piezometric surface (ground water table) was located at a depth of 2.5m. When steady state was achieved at a pumping rate 38.5 m^3/hr, the following drawdowns were observed.  Pumping well, d0 = 3.64m Observation well, d1=0.96m Observation well, d2 = 0.48m Calculate the coefficient of permeability of the sand in m/hr

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.
