PROBLEM 3:
Part a.) A 12-inch diameter well is drilled in a confined aquifer that has a thickness of 30 feet and a hydraulic conductivity of 0.02ftsec. The water table is at 80 feet. The radius of influence of the well is 100 feet and the flow in the well is (QWell) is 4 cubic feet per second (cfs).
What is the drawdown of the well 10 feet away?
What is the transmissivity of the aquifer?
Part b.) Shown below is a schematic of one-dimensional horizontal flow through an unconfined aquifer consisting of two different types of soil. The water flows from drainage ditch "A" at x=0 to ditch "B" at x=L1+L2. You are given the following data: HA=40m,HB=20m,L1=300m,L2=400m,K1=50m? day, K2=10m? day.
Calculate the water table elevation at the interface between the two layers.
Calculate Q**-- the flow per unit width into ditch B
