Outline a program of hydrogeological investigations for this site designed to identify potential groundwater flow paths and to assess the likely rate of flow of water into the proposed excavation. In your answer, you should also consider the potential for seasonal variability in groundwater level and explain how this could be evaluated. In your discussion, assume that the groundwater system is unconfined.

Common data
g = 9.81 m/s².
The standard properties of water are density:
ϱH2O=1kg/dm3ϱH2O=1kg/dm3 exactly, kinematic viscosity:
νH2O=1.02⋅10−6m2/sνH2O=1.02⋅10−6m2/s.
Lubrication oil is pumped at a rate of 30.5 cm³/s through a 13 m long D = 7.5 mm diameter pipe on a steam engine. The pipe roughness is ε = 1.5 µm. The density of the lubricating oil is 960 kg/m³, its dynamic viscosity at 25 °C is 4 Pa·s.
Do not forget to tick the appropriate units!
As the temperature rises to 95 °C, the dynamic viscosity drops by a factor of 100. How does this change the flow type and the required power?

An oil company wishes to construct a pressurised pipeline of 300 mm diameter to convey freshwater, of bulk modulus 2.10x109 N/m2 from a desalination plant to a refinery at a rate of 350 l/s and with a pipe period of 4 seconds. Calculate the corresponding theoretical surge pressure induced within the pipeline by the complete closure of an on-line valve (located at the end of the pipe) in 8 seconds. The valve generates non-uniform retardation of type R = At0.65. The steel pipe has 5 mm thick walls, a Young’s modulus of 2.1x1011 N/m2 and Poisson’s ratio of 0.28. Calculate the pressure transients at the valve in the pipeline, for the first 12 seconds after the valve starts to close. Assume that pipe is longitudinally restrained.
