Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does transmissivity measure in an aquifer?

  • A. The amount of water stored
  • B. The rate of water flow through saturated thickness
  • C. The depth of the aquifer

💡 Hint: Focus on flow rather than storage or depth.

Question 2

True or False: Transmissivity is expressed as a product of hydraulic conductivity and saturated thickness.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the formula we discussed.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If an unconfined aquifer has K of 20 m/day, and hydraulic tests show a transmissivity of 200 m²/day, what is the saturated thickness of the aquifer?

💡 Hint: Rearrange the formula before calculating.

Question 2

A well is drilled into a confined aquifer with a total thickness of 30 m. During pumping, it’s determined that the transmissivity is 600 m²/day. What is the hydraulic conductivity?

💡 Hint: Identify and isolate K from the equation.
