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).
Which of the following is true about the Water-Table well in the unconfined aquifer? Mark all that apply. It is a flowing artesian well It is not pressurized It is a non flowing artesian well It is a dry well Water will flow up to the potentiometric surface (the pressure surface) Water will flow into the well up to the water table
a) A confined stratified aquifer has a total thickness of 16 m and is made up of four layers. The bottom layer has a coefficient of permeability of 30 m/day and a thickness of 5.0 m. Above it is a layer 4 m thickness with a coefficient of permeability of 35 m/day. The third & fourth layers have a permeability of 20 m/day and 45 m/day respectively and are of equal thickness. Calculate the equivalent permeability and transmissivity if the flow is along the stratification.

Q-7 In a homogeneous unconfined aquifer of area 3.00 km², the water table was at an elevation of 102.00 m. After a natural recharge of volume 0.90 million cubic meter (Mm³), the water table rose to 103.20 m. After this recharge, ground water pumping took place and the water table dropped down to 101.20 m. The volume of ground water pumped after the natural recharge, expressed (in Mm³ and round off to two).
