Field applications of hydraulic conductivity

Hydraulic conductivity is one of the hydraulic properties of soil defined as a measurement of the ability of a porous medium to permit water movement or fluid flow through it. It is denoted by the letter K. It is influenced by the density and viscosity of the fluid. It is also called permeability. Hydraulic conductivity is defined as the ratio of velocity to the hydraulic gradient. The different methods used to determine the hydraulic conductivity are laboratory methods (constant head permeability tests and falling head tests), in-situ field methods (pumping in and pumping out tests), small scale field tests (infiltration tests and slug tests), and indirect methods such as estimation from grain size, consolidation test data, and horizontal capillary test. The pedotransfer function (PTF) method is a specific empirical estimating approach employed in the soil sciences is also used to determine the hydraulic conductivity of the soil.

A well of diameter 15 cm pumps at a steady rate of 265 L/min. It is located 15.2 m from a lake shore that is straight. The well and the lake penetrate the same homogeneous isotropic confined aquifer of hydraulic conductivity 2 m/day. At the steady state the influence of a well pumping at the above rate on the aquifer is upto a distance of 50 m from the well. Determine the drop in water level in the well assuming that without the well pumping, the head at the well is essentially the same as the head in the lake
