Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

An engineer needs to calculate the specific storage of a confined aquifer where the aquifer's density is estimated at 2000 kg/m³, and the compressibility of water is known to be 0.0004 kPa⁻¹. Given a porosity of 0.25 and an acceleration due to gravity of 9.81 m/s², determine the specific storage.

💡 Hint: Ensure that you gather all components of the equation and substitute them carefully.

Question 2

Evaluate how the storage coefficient of a confined aquifer impacts water supply during a drought in terms of water availability and management strategies.

💡 Hint: Think about how aquifers can act as reservoirs and the importance of maintaining reserves.
