Rib m. Q-6: Water flows in a confined aquifer from a fully penetrating river with a piezometric head of 12 m toward a river with a piezometric head of 10 m located 400 away. If the aquifer hydraulic conductivity and effective porosity are 3 m/day and 0.15 respectively, estimate the seepage velocity in the aquifer. Determine the drawdown and piezometric head 150 m from an upstream river.
