Water 3 m Clay 1 ki T+T2 n2 Clay 2 B. T2/2 k2 Sand Aquifer Shown in the image are two clay layers submerged under 3 m of water. The first clay layer, T1, is 2 m thick, has a porosity of 0.27, and a hydraulic conductivity of 0.08 m/year. The second clay layer, T2, is 5 m thick, has a porosity of 0.32 and a hydraulic conductivity of 0.97 m/year. Beneath the clay layers is a sand aquifer. For the piezometer level shown, determine the total head at point A. Assume downward direction as positive and express your answer to four decimal places.
