Question
The water table in an unconfined
aquifer was at 10m below ground level.
The bottom of this unconfined aquifer
was at 35 mbgl. A 1m width section of
this aquifer had a hydraulic conductivity
of 34.5m/day and a transmissivity of
m2/day(to
zero decimal places).
A potentiometric surface for a certain
confined aquifer was at 10m. This
confined aquifer is made of an upper
confining layer at 20mbgl and the lower
confining layer at 35mbgl. Assume the
confining layers have zero thickness.
This confined aquifer had a hydraulic
conductivity of 34.5m2/day and
transmissivity of
m2/day (to
zero decimal places).
