When developing a coal mine, the local aquifer needs to be completely dewatered and water needs to be pumped out of the mine for the duration of the operation. For an aquifer with an area of $100$ acres, a thickness of $100ft$ and a porosity of $0\mathrm{.}2,$ how much water is released during initial dewatering? $(5$ points$)$ Given the catchment area is $10,000$ acres, we can assume all recharge into the catchment now releases into the mine. Given $1200m\frac{m}{y}r$ of rainfall, $50\%$ of the rainfall becomes ET and $25\%$ of the rainfall becomes surface runoff, how much water needs to be continuously pumped out during operation, at steady state? $(5$ points$)$

Discuss where the released water can be directed to$.($optional $+2$ points$)$
