Concept explainers

Groundwater Flow

The term groundwater refers to the water which is found beneath the earth's surface. Pores present in the soil and rocks with fractures make a passage for rainwater to enter the earth's surface and deposit as groundwater. The flow nature and direction of groundwater under the earth's surface directly impacts the strength and compressibility of the soil, which reflects its ability to support structural loads.

(please add answer and units to answer box, show work, and/or send email with pdf/image showing work) A well in a confined aquifer was pumped at a rate of 200 ft°/min for 240 minutes. Time-drawdown data for a well 800 feet away were plotted on log-log paper an matched to a Theis type curve. The match point was W(u)=1, 1/u=1, s=0.89 feet, and t=4.1 minutes. The aquifer is 150 feet thick. What is the hydraulic conductivity of this aquifer? What is the storativity (also known as storage coefficient) of the aquifer?
