1. Write at least two sentences in your own words to explain the difference between the confined aquifer and unconfined aquifer.
2. Answer True or False and justify your answer:
a. The porosity of a clayey soil is about 40% while the porosity of a medium sand soil is also 40%. Therefore, both of these soil types will have the same specific yield.
b. Confined aquifers have a larger specific yield than the one from the unconfined aquifer.
