Question 1

What characterizes confined aquifers?

  • They are always dry
  • They are under pressure
  • They have no water

💡 Hint: Think about what keeps the water inside.

Question 2

True or False: The storage coefficient in confined aquifers is generally higher than in unconfined aquifers.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the mechanism behind water storage.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A confined aquifer has a storage coefficient of 0.0004. If the hydraulic head decreases by 4 meters, calculate the volume of water that would be released from a 1-hectare section of the aquifer.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for volume release of a confined aquifer.

Question 2

If a well tapping a confined aquifer results in a drawdown of 10 meters, and the aquifer has a transmissibility of 100 m²/day. Find out how long it would take for the water level to recover to original state if pumping stops.

💡 Hint: Analyze recovery data or graphically review recuperation tests for similar conditions.
