Question: A contaminated plume is found having capture zone type curve Q / BU = 1 6 0 0 m . U is the regional groundwater

A contaminated plume is found having capture zone type curve Q/BU =1600 m. U is the regional groundwater velocity; Q is pumping rate and B is the aquifer thickness. The aquifer also has a hydraulic conductivity of 210-5 cm/sec, a hydraulic gradient of 0.007 and a storavity of 0.006. The aquifer is 20 m thick. The diameter of the well is 10 inch and the equation for non-equillibrium condition is ()() Where T is transmissivity, r is the radius of the well, t is the pumping duration and ho h is the drawdown. (30 points) a) What is the groundwater velocity? b) What is the Pumping rate? c) What is the Transmissivity? d) What is the drawdown this aquifer can support with the pumping rate of (a) after two years of pumping?
