An unconfined aquifer has experienced an average water level drop of 11-ft over the past year. If the area of the aquifer is 30,000 ft², the transmissivity is 100(10)-5 ft² and the specific yield is 0.25, what volume S of water (in ft³) has actually been lost or gained (specify) from storage over the year period?

Calculate the steady-state recharge rate, and find how long would it take for dissolved road salt to travel from the water table (z = −5 m) to the bottom of the unconfined aquifer (z = −11 m)? Assume, η = 0.23.
Am acquifer is recharged by precipitation that infiltrates through fertilised fields. The concentration of nitrate in the groundwater is 1.25mg/l. Th4 nitrate is carried by flowing groundwater into a large fish pond the farmer has on her property. The average linear velocity of the groundwater is 0.087m/day and the aquifer porosity is 0.25. The aquifer has an approximate saturated thickness of 2.55m (depth of saturated soil above bedrock). The flow path into the pond is 87wide. What is the mass loading of nitrate into the pond in units of g/day?

Q-7 Water table of an aquifer drops by 100 cm over an area of 1000 km². The porosity and specific retention of the aquifer material are 25% and 5%, respectively. The amount of water (expressed in km³) drained out from the area is.
Q2: The average decline of the potentiometric surface in a confined aquifer over the period of 20 years was determined to be 40 m. The aquifer extends over 400 km, and its average depth is 100m. The specific storage of the aquifer is 10%/m. What was the average annual rate of released water from the aquifer?
A reservoir had an average surface area of 20 km² during September 2008. In that month, the mean rate of inflow is 10 m³/s, outflow is 15 m³/s, monthly rainfall is 10 cm and change in storage is 16 Mm³. Assuming the seepage losses to be 1.8 cm, estimate the evaporation in that month.
