Question

Coastal engg

The freshwater flow from a coastal aquifer into the sea per unit length of shoreline is estimatedas 1.5m3/day/m. The hydraulic conductivity of the unconfined aquifer is 13.6m/day. Compute the water table profile and shape of the fresh-saline interface between the shoreline and 1kminland. Use both the Ghyben-Herzberg relation and the solution by Glover. Assume steady conditions.

    A confined aquifer is bounded by two reservoirs. It is known that the aquifer consists of two formations with different hydraulic conductivity: K1=2.2 gpd/ft 2, K2 =3.2 gpd/ft 2. If it is known that the aquifer loses water through leakage at the rate of 0.2 in/day. Please a) compute discharge rate and specific discharge (Darcy velocity) at the two ends of the aquifer, b) plot the head surface. Assuming steady-state condition.    50 10' K 55' 14' so-11-11+Y

    An unconfined aquifer has an initial thickness of 15.80 m. The initial water table is horizontal and located 4.7 m below the ground surface. A 15-cm diameter well is driven to the bottom of the aquifer and pumped at 3000 Lpm until steady state conditions are achieved. At this time the drawdown at the well is 4.35 m and the drawdown in an observation well located 850 m away is 0.12 m. (a) Make a sketch that defines the problem....
