Am acquifer is recharged by precipitation that infiltrates through fertilised fields. The concentration of nitrate in the groundwater is 1.25mg/l. Th4 nitrate is carried by flowing groundwater into a large fish pond the farmer has on her property. The average linear velocity of the groundwater is 0.087m/day and the aquifer porosity is 0.25. The aquifer has an approximate saturated thickness of 2.55m (depth of saturated soil above bedrock). The flow path into the pond is 87wide. What is the mass loading of nitrate into the pond in units of g/day?

An unconfined aquifer (porosity, n = 0.29) with a specific retention of 0.11 has an area of 130 miles². The water table dropped 5.88 ft during a recent drought. Compute the volume of water lost from the aquifer storage during the drought. Assume there was no appreciable recharge during the drought, and all other fluxes can be neglected.
