Problem One (33%) – water usage calculation in a confinedaquifer
A confined aquifer with a storativity of 7.8 x 10-5extends over an area of 50 km2. During the wet seasonthe aquifer has been recharged and the storage in that area hasbeen increased by 8 ML.
- Â Â Â Â How much has the potentiometricsurface raised?
- Â Â Â Â If the aquifer was unconfined with aspecific yield of 18%, what would be the volume recharged (in ML)for the same amount of raise in the water table if we consider thatthe specific retention is effectively 0%?
