Concept explainers

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.

A site consists of a homogenous dense silty sand layerof 8m thickness which is underlain by an imprevious stiff clau stratum. The initial water table was at 3m depth below the ground level. A pumping test was carrier out by pumping water at the rate of 0.7 m^3/min. Onservation wells were dug into the ground at 25m and 50m distances from the center line of the well. At steady state (i.e., when there was no change in water levels in the observation wells), the water levels in the two wells dropped by 500mm and 150mm, respectively. Determine the hydraulic conductivity of the clay sand layer.
