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).
