Two discharge wells (1 and 2) penetrating an unconfined aquifer are pumped at constant rates of 3,000 and 500 m^3 per day , respectively. The steady-state head (i.e., water table height) measured at an observation well is 40 meters . The observation well is 50 meters from well 1 and 64 meters from well 2. The water table height measured at a second observation well is 32.9 meters , which is located 20 meters from well 1 and 23 meters from well 2. Determine the aquifer permeability K (in m/day).

ANSWER:-

PERMEABILITY:- Property of a material that lets fluids (such as water or water vapor) to diffuse through it to another medium without being chemically or physically affected. Opposite of permeance.

A field test is conducted in a confined aquifer by pumping a constant discharge of 14.9 m3/hr from 20-cm-diameter well. After an approximate steady state is reached, a drawdown of 0.98 m is measured in the pumped well. Also measured are drawdowns of 0.73 m, 0.65 m, 0.60 m, and0.57 m, respectively, at 8.0 m, 30.0 m, 80.0 m, and 132 m from the pumped well. Determine the transmissivity of this aquifer. Also, determine how far away from the well...

Two liquid streams are flowing at constant rates into a blender. One is benzene, which flows at a measured rate of 20.0L/min, and the other is toluene. The blended mixture enters a storage tank (inner diameter = 5.5m) equipped with a sight gauge. During an interval in which no liquid leaves the storage tank, the liquid level in the tank is observed to increase by 0.15 meters over a one-hour period. Calculate the flow rate of toluene into the blender...
