A hydrologic budget is performed on a section of lake to determine the expected evaporation in inches per month. The surface area of the of the lake is 250 acres. The inflow is 1500 cfs, the outflow was 1450 cfs, the infiltration is 5 inch/month, and the precipitation is 10 inches/month of precipitation over the lake. The overall increase in storage is 0.4 ft/day. Note: Assume that 1 month has 30 days.(show work)

The shear strength of a normally consolidated clay can be given
by the equation f = tan 30. A consolidated-undrained triaxial
test was conducted on the clay. Following are the results of the
test:
Chamber confining pressure = 100 kN/m2
Deviator stress at failure = 80 kN/m2
Determine
a) Consolidated Undrained friction angle (CU), (6 points)
b) Using formula, calculate shear and normal stresses on the
failure plane inside the soil sample, (6 points)
c) Pore water pressure developed in the clay specimen at failure.
(8 points)

A 12-in-diameter well completely penetrates a 130-ft-thick, unconfined aquifer with a coefficient of permeability of 0.00055 ft/sec. If the radius of influence of the well is 500 feet and the drawdown at an observation well 250 ft away is 5 ft, determine the steady state well discharge and the drawdown at the well.
