1.A confined aquifer is 8 ft. thick. The potentiometric surface drops 1.33 ft between wells that are 685 ft apart. The hydraulic conductivity is 241 ft/day and the effective porosity is 27%.
a) How many cubic feet per day move through a strip of aquifer that is 10 ft wide?
b) What is the specific discharge?
c) What is the average linear velocity?
d) How long will it take the water to travel between the two wells?
