You are drilling an artesian well in a steeped sloped region. You know from previous hydrogeological maps that several springs have been documented altitudes of 1100 - 1110 m. What would you expect if you drill a deep well at 1050m altitude?

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.

Someone pours a cup of water into an open well dug into a confined aquifer. If the piezometric head is 4m lower at the neighbors well 1500m away, how long will it take the poured water to travel to the neighbors well? Assume steady, unidirectional flow in a homogeneous silty sand confined aquifer with a hydraulic conductivity of 3.5 m day-1, and an effective porosity of 0.35.
14. A 40-cm-diameter well draws water from a confined aquifer at the rate of 1.33 m³/sec. The aquifer is 30.5 m thick with a piezometric surface (prior to pumping) that is 107 m above the bottom of the confined aquifer. The drawdown at an observation well 50 m away is 10.1 m. If the same well is placed in the same aquifer, 400 m from a completely penetrating stream, determine the drawdown at the well. The aquifer permeability is 4.35 x 10 m/sec.
This is for hydrology. How would I calulate the time it would take for the plume to reach the next well in it's path? Plume is moving in a southeast direction with with the next well at a distance of 61.2m away with a hydraulic gradient of 0.15m between the two wells. Here is the other information I have. Thank You A confined aquifer with the top of the aquifer about 13.5 m below the surface. The aquifer is 5.5 m thick and is bounded by impervious rock below (forming the datum for the hydraulic head measurements) and a clay aquitard above. Analysis of the aquifer material reveals a bulk density of 1.75 g/cm3, porosity of 0.35 and 0.55% organic carbon. After a pumping test, you calculate that the transmissivity of the aquifer is 0.00025 m2/s and the storativity is 0.000055. What monitoring well(s) would you next expect to see toluene found in and in approximately how long?

A capture well is pumping at a rate of 1700 m^3 /day from a confined aquifer with a hydraulic conductivity of 425 m/day, an initial hydraulic gradient of -0.00098 and a saturated thickness of 22 m. Water is flowing from west to east. a. What is the maximum width of the capture zone in m to the nearest ones place? b. What is the distance from the well to the stagnation point in m to the nearest ones place? Consider what sign makes sense. c. True or False: The majority of the capture zone is to the west of the capture well.

10. A single well pumps water from a horizontally infinite confined aquifer at a rate of 6 m³/day beginning at time t = 0. The aquifer has a transmissivity (T) of 50 m²/day and a storativity S of 0.0001. Use the Theis solution (eqs. 9.4.5-7) and Table 9.1 to calculate the drawdown in a monitoring well located 44 m from the pumping well after 10 days and after 90 days.
