Question

15 cm of recharge enters an aquifer that has an average porosity 0.05.How much the water level will rise in the nearby wells?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

K= 10-5 m/s, h2-h1 = 100m, L = 10km, A = 1m2 > Q = 3.15 m3/y; the K value above is typical for a sandstone aquifer.

the actual flow velocity v may be calculated with the following formula: v=Q/(A*f)=q/n, n is the porosity, and q the specific discharge.
