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.

4. A confined aquifer of 10-m thickness and 16.43 m/day hydraulic conductivity is fully penetrate by a pumping well of 0.5 m radius operating at Q=425 m³/day. Determine the drawdown under steady-state conditions in a) the pumping well and b) 50 m away from the well. Take the radius of influence of the pumping well as 300 m.

Water is being pumped at a steady rate of 500 gpm from a 12in diameter well. Thewell draws water from an unconfined aquifer. The height of water in the aquifer in the equilibrium statebefore pumping is 100ft, and the drawdown at the well at steady state pumping is 40ft. The hydraulicconductivity of the aquifer determined from a pump test is 0.02ft/min. Determine the radius of influence.
A well of diameter 15 cm pumps at a steady rate of 265 L/min. It is located 15.2 m from a lake shore that is straight. The well and the lake penetrate the same homogeneous isotropic confined aquifer of hydraulic conductivity 2 m/day. At the steady state the influence of a well pumping at the above rate on the aquifer is upto a distance of 50 m from the well. Determine the drop in water level in the well assuming that without the well pumping, the head at the well is essentially the same as the head in the lake
Question- Three tube wells of 25 cm, diameter each are located at the three vertices of an equilateral triangle of side 100 m. Each tube well penetrates fully in a confined aquifer of thickness 25 m. Assume the radius of influence for these wells and the coefficient of permeability of the aquifer as 300 m and 40 m/day respectively. Calculate the discharge when only one well is pumping with a drawdown of 3 m. (i) (ii) (iii) What will be the percent change in discharge of this well if all the three wells were to pump such that the drawdown is 3 m in all the wells?
