CE Board Exam- Hydraulics and Geotech Review Problems
-A confined aquifer is shown. This aquifer has a source of recharge located as shown. The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is 40m/day with porosity of 25%. The piezometric (head) surface in the two observation wells 1250m apart are at elevation 65m and 60m, respectively from the common datum. The aquifer has an average thickness of 25m and an average width of 4km.
