Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If an aquifer has a hydraulic conductivity of 3 m/day and a saturated thickness of 15 m, determine the transmissivity, and explain why this value matters for water extraction.

💡 Hint: Use the formula and think about how this affects the availability of water.

Question 2

Discuss how varying pore size distributions affect hydraulic conductivity in a mixed-grain aquifer and suggest methods for improving water flow.

💡 Hint: Consider how to alter the physical properties of the aquifer.
