5. In a deep saline water aquifer, there is a zone of fresh water of 100 ft depth. A well is drilled through a depth of 80 ft to pump out the water at a rate of 0.5 cfs. The aquifer permeability is 100 ft/hr. Determine the upconing rise of the saline water under steady state (assume a saltwater unit weight of 64 lb/ft').
