Question
Given the coefficient k =0.05 m/s and porosity p = 48%, find the
transmissibility (T) in m/s per unit m, if the aquifer width is 1.2 m.
Formula:
- It is the flow rate per day thru a unit area
under a unit hydraulic gradient
For an aquifer with thickness, B
and width, X:
T = K*B and Ag = BX
Thus: Q = (T*X*S)
