4. A field sample of an unconfined aquifer is packed into a test cylinder. The length and diameter of the cylinder are 75 cm and 35 cm respectively. The field sample is tested for a period of 2.5 minutes under a constant head difference of 10 cm. As a result, 48 cm³ of water is collected at the outlet. I a) Determine the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer b) During those 2.5 minutes, how far would water have travelled in the test cylinder if effective porosity was measured as 30%?
5. In the pond below, Material 1: K= 2x10-7m/s; Material 2: K = 8x10-8m/s. Below material 2, the ground is unsaturated. I a) What is the flux from the bottom of the pond? 10m b) What is the head at the interface between the two materials? 3m material 1 Im material 2 Om
6. Below are two triangular unit hydrographs for 2 neighbouring catchments. UH B 20 m³/s UH A 25 m³/s 2 hr 3 hr 8 hr (a) What is the area of catchment B? (b) What can you say about the runoff response of each catchment? (c) Net rainfall of 10 mm in the first hour, 20 mm in the second hour and 15 mm in the third hour falls on catchment A. Calculate the resulting run-off as a function of time. (d) Net rainfall of 5 mm in the first hour, 10 mm in the second hour and 8 mm in the third hour falls on catchment B. Calculate the resulting runoff as a function of time. (e) The rivers flowing out from catchments A and B meet shortly after they leave the catchments. A storm with the net rainfall given above moves across the two catchments, with the rainfall starting an hour later on catchment B than catchment A. Calculate the resulting combined run-off as a function of time. (f) The simple triangular 1-hr unit Hydrograph 'UH A' from above was actually generated using the data below. Use the data to generate a 2hr hydrograph. Plot your hydrograph and fit a simple triangular UH to it. What's the peak flow of your 2-hr UH? And the time to peak flow? Check that that volume implied by your UH is appropriate. 1 2 Time (hr) Flow (m3/s) 3 4 6 0 0 10.5 19.75 16.25 0 6 hr 11 55
