Question: The Figure ( below ) presents the potentiometric map for a shallow sand aquifer. The hydraulic c rigure 0 . 1 0 ( a )

The Figure (below) presents the potentiometric map for a shallow sand aquifer. The hydraulic c
rigure 0.10
(a) What is the groundwater velocity (Darcy's velocity) and seepage velocity across the plume (use a scale bar to estimate the distance)?
Darcy's velocity mm? day Seepage velocity =mm? day
(b) Estimate how long (years) the source has been contaminating the aquifer. You may ignore the effect of dispersion, diffusion and adsorption (t=Lvseepage)
Time
years
(c) Estimate the volumetric flow rate per unit depth of plume in m3? day ?m across the plume.
Q=
The Figure ( below ) presents the potentiometric
