The results of a tracer study at a beach yielded an estimated average linear velocity of the groundwater of 3.4E-1 m/d. Laboratory studies were used to determine a porosity of 3.3E-1 and a hydraulic conductivity of 4.21E-4 m/s for the sand. Determine the hydraulic gradient of the groundwater. Your answer should be a negative value. (Report your answer to 3 significant digits.)
