V- Darcy's Equation for groundwater velocity: V = (K Ah)/(n x L) where Groundwater velocity, K - Hydraulic conductivity. Ah - Change in water level in wells, n = Porosity of soil, sediment, or rock, and L - Distance between wells. Use your answer above for porosity (n). If a hydrogeologist already knew the hydraulic gradient (Ah/L) - (85 ft/ 24,440 ft) from well measurements taken from two properties and the hydraulic conductivity (K) = 8 cm per hour in the unconfined aquifer, how fast would contaminated water travel between the two points?
