A large industry is concerned that the radius of influence of their production well extends beyond their property boundaries. Their 16-in. radius well draws water from a confined aquifer at the rate of 1570 gal/min (gpm). The confined aquifer is 100 ft thick with a piezometric surface (prior to pumping) that is 350 ft above the bottom of the aquifer. The drawdown at the well is 100 ft. Determine the radius of influence if the aquifer's hydraulic conductivity is 4.01x10-4 ft/s.

A pipeline leads from one reservoir to another which has a water surface 10 m lower.For a discharge of 1.0 m^3/s, determine the head loss in meter. a.10 b.8 c.9 d.12
A 7350 m long, 1050 mm concrete pipeline connects an upstream reservoir (watersurface elevation 433.3 m) to a downstream reservoir (water surface elevation 423.1 m). Adischarge valve at the downstream end is used to control flow; when this valve is fully open,the measured discharge in the pipeline is 920 L/s under the naturally available head difference.(a) Assuming fully developed turbulent flow and that all other local losses are negligible,estimate the loss coefficient k for the fully open valve (assume f = 0.015).(b) Because of increasing urban development, the flow under the natural head difference isconsidered to be inadequate and it is proposed to increase this flow with pumping. The head-capacity curve for the pump can be approximated by the equation H = 8 – 3.5Q2 in which H isthe total dynamic head on the pump (in m) and Q is the discharge (in m3/s). What is thedischarge that can now be obtained from the system where the pump is installed at a cross-section of the pipeline?
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING ( Practice Questions) a). Suppose a well 0.36m in diameter has been pumped at a rate of 3,000cu.m/day for a long enough time that steady-state conditions apply. An observation well located 30m from the pumped well has been drawn down by 1.0m, and another well at 120m is drawn down by 0.4m. The pumped well extends completely through an unconfined aquifer 60.0m thick. GIVEN: For an unconconfined aquifer, Q = πK(h2c1 – h2c2) / [Ln(r1 / r2)] Determine the hydraulic conductivity, K.
