A municipal wellfield is designed to consist of five water-supply wells, each rated at 16 litre/s. The wells are located 100 m apart along a north-south line and fully penetrate a 20m thick confined aquifer that has a transmissivity of 1000m2/day. . Estimate the maximum drawdown 500m west of the centre well assuming that all wells are 40cm in diameter and the radius of influence of each well is 800m. [15 Marks] 4b. If the calculated drawdown value is considered too low, propose 3 design options to ensure an increased drawdown.

Compute the settling velocity for the following particles: very coarse sand ( diameter = 1.5 mm ) , (diameter=1.5 mm), medium sand (0.4 mm), very fine sand (0.075 mm), and clay (0.001 mm). Estimate the time for each particle to fall 6 in. in water.

Assume: SG: coarse sand = 2.65, medium sand = 2.67, fine sand = 2.70, clay = 2.8 & water temperature = 60°F

Note:The other solution on chegg is wrong.

A two-dimensional transient velocity field is given by

u = ax(b + ct)               v = ey(f+ ht)

where u is the x velocity component and v, the y component. Find:

  1. The trajectory x(t), y(t) if x = x0, y = y0 at t = 0.
  2. The streamline that passes through x0, y0 when t=0 and plot it.
  3. The acceleration field.

a (-) = 5

b (1/s) = 5

c (m) = -1

e (-) = 5

f (1/s) = 5

h (m) = 4

x0 = 1

y0 = 2
