Additional Exercise-Permeability
A field test in a stratum of sandy soil was made, in which water was pumped from a well which penetrated the full depth of the soil layer. Under equilibrium conditions water was pumped from the well at the rate of 8.5m3? day. The observed height of the water level above the horizontal base of the stratum (which rested on impervious rock) was 4.5 m and 5.5 m in boreholes made at distances of 15 m and 30 m from the well, respectively. Calculate the coefficient of permeability (in m? day).
