Question: Example: An aquitard consists of two soil layers. The upper layer is 1 0 m thick with a hydraulic conductivity of 5 . 0 1

Example: An aquitard consists of two soil layers. The upper layer is 10 m thick with a hydraulic
conductivity of 5.010-6cmsec. The lower layer is 15 m thick, with a hydraulic conductivity of
2.510-7cmsec.
a) Determine the equivalent hydraulic conductivities of the aquitard for horizontal and
vertical flow
b) B). At some location in the aquitard the water pressure head at the top of the aquitard
is 30 m , and the water pressure head at the bottom of the aquitard is 56 m . Determine
the water pressure head at the interface between the layers at this location.
c) If the upper aquitard was fractured with 100 micron fractures spaced 50 cm apart,
determine the vertical effective hydraulic conductivity of the aquitard.
B) and C) please
