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?
7 Yuri wants to determine the permeability of an aquifer. The aquifer has a test well 300-mm in diameter with two observation wells. A pumping test was conducted for 24 hours with the discharge being held constant at 6,481 m^3/day. The first one, 87.94 meters from the test well, has a draw-down of 0.56 meters. The second one, 46 meters from the test well, has a draw-down of 1.25 meters.The static water table penetrates the well to a depth of 28 meters. Determine the radius of influence of the aquifer in meters. Round off to three decimal places.

QUESTION 1 Calculate the transmissivity of an artesian aquifer that has a thickness of 5.5 m and is pumped at a rate of 1.52 m³/min. There are two observation wells located at 150 m and 280 m away with drawdowns of 0.8 and 0.72 m respectively. (15) QUESTION 2 An aquifer has T = 175 m²/day, S = 1.3 x104, and provides a flow of 20 L/s to a well. Find the drawdown at the two observation wells located 15 and 65 m from the producing well after 1 day, 2 months, 10 months and 2 years. (15)
CALCULATION USING DARCY'S LAW 1) An aquifer has 2 piezometers installed (A and B) and the distance between them is 1km, the hydraulic loads are 850m and 625m respectively. The average hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is 3.9 x 10-2 m/day and the effective porosity is 25%, calculate how long in years it takes for the water to walk between piezometer A and B.
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING ( Practice Questions) a). Suppose a well 0.36m in diameter has been pumped at a rate of 3,000cu.m/day for a long enough time that steady-state conditions apply. An observation well located 30m from the pumped well has been drawn down by 1.0m, and another well at 120m is drawn down by 0.4m. The pumped well extends completely through an unconfined aquifer 60.0m thick. GIVEN: For an unconconfined aquifer, Q = πK(h2c1 – h2c2) / [Ln(r1 / r2)] Determine the hydraulic conductivity, K. (7 marks) (ii) Estimate the drawdown at the pumped well. State any assumptions made. b). A confined aquifer 40.0 m thick has two monitoring wells spaced 400m apart along the direction of groundwater flow. The difference in water level in the wells is 4.0m (the difference in piezometric head). The hydraulic conductivity is 40m/day. Estimate the rate of flow per meter of distance perpendicular to the flow. C). Suppose the aquifer, which has a…
