CALCULATION USING DARCY'S LAW An aquifer system is formed by two horizontal layers. Two piezometers were installed for monitoring, the distance between them is 885m. The upper layer (A) has a thickness of 39m and K = 1.3 x 10-5 m/s and the lower layer (B) has a thickness of 25m and K = 2.7 x 10-6 m/s. THE hydraulic load in the PZA is 60m and in the PZB it is 40m. Calculate the flow and the transmissivity of each layer.
The water table in an unconfined aquifer was at 10m below ground level. The bottom of this unconfined aquifer was at 35 mbgl. A 1m width section of this aquifer had a hydraulic conductivity of 34.5m/day and a transmissivity of m2/day(to zero decimal places). A potentiometric surface for a certain confined aquifer was at 10m. This confined aquifer is made of an upper confining layer at 20mbgl and the lower confining layer at 35mbgl. Assume the confining layers have zero thickness. This confined aquifer had a hydraulic conductivity of 34.5m2/day and transmissivity of m2/day (to zero decimal places).
