Question 4(20 marks):
A well is to be developed in an unconfined aquifer as shown in Figure 2. You may assume that approximately 5 km from the well, conditions are such that the piezometric levels are constant at an elevation 6 m above the impermeable level as shown. The anisotropic aquifer material consists of a 4-m thick sandy soil overlaying a 4-m thick gravel with saturated hydraulic conductivities of 0.05 and 0.20cms, respectively.
a)(10 marks) Calculate equivalent horizontal Kx and vertical Ky hydraulic conductivities of the anisotropic aquifer.
b)(10 marks) What drawdown, at distances of 10 and 100m from the pumping well, can be expected at a uniform pumping rate of 50,000L? day?
