A confined aquifer has a skeleton compressibility, \alpha , of 3.6\times 107 m2
/N and a void ratio of 0.69. If the compressibility
of water, \beta , is 4.9\times 1010 m2
/N: (i) What is the specific storage, Ss, of this aquifer? (ii) If the aquifer is 6.1 m thick,
what is the storage coefficient (storativity)?
