Question:

Bull Creek flows through and completely penetrates a confined aquifer 10 ft thick, as shown in Fig. P8.9. The flow is-reduced in the stream by 16 cfs between two gaging stations located 4 miles apart along the creek. On the west side of the creek, the piezometric contours parallel the bank and slope toward Bull Creek at S = 0.0004 ft/ft. The piezometric contours on the east side of the creek slope away from the channel at a slope of 0.0006 ft/ft. Using Darcy's law and the continuity equation, compute the transmissivity of the aquifer along this section of Bull Creek. Note the flow area to the creek is 10 ft thick and 4 miles wide.
