Convert this rate into nm/s. UPVOTE WILL BE GIVEN WHEN THE ANSWER IS CLEAR AND DETAILED.arrow_forwardTrue or False 1. If a well is drilled into a confined aquifer, the water can rise above its level in the aquifer because of the extra hydrostatic (fluid) pressure; which is called an artesian system. The water in an artesian system will rise all the way to the ground surface. 2. In areas suffered from surface subsidence, solutions such as pumping water back underground are likely to work.arrow_forward
