Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pumping test shows a rapid drop in water level of 10 meters within the first hour, followed by a gradual decline of only 1 meter in the next hour. Analyze what this data could suggest about the aquifer.
💡 Hint: Consider both initial behaviors and the sustainability of extraction.
You have two wells at different distances from a central pumping well. One produces less drawdown than the other significantly. Predict potential reasons for this observation.
💡 Hint: Think about how distance and aquifer material influence drawdown.
