Q1) A sluice gate at the base of a large reservoir is raised 1.7 m, as shown in Fig-1, and the water discharges through this 5.0 m-wide rectangular orifice into a rectangular channel of the same width. Determine whether or not a hydraulic jump will occur in the channel. If the hydraulic jump occurred, what is the type of this jump, and what will be the hydraulic jump height? Also find the energy loss due to the hydraulic jump. Neglect the approach velocity. Gate 3 m Reservoir 1.7 m Channel Fig. 1

A well is constructed to pump water from a confined aquifer. Two observation wells, MW1 and MW2, are constructed at distances of 10 m and 100 m, respectively. Water is pumped from the pumping well at a rate of 0.8 m³/min. At steady state, drawdown is observed as 5 m in MW2 and 19 m in MW1. Note that drawdown is greater for well MW1 located closest to the pumping well. Determine the Transmissivity (cm²/s) if the aquifer is 40 m thick. (Please enter your answers with 2 decimals)
