An aquifer has a coefficient of permeability of 0.06 m/s and a saturated thickness of 12 m. Calculate the transmissibility in m²/day. If the community requires 50,000 m²/day, will this aquifer be able to meet the demand?
💡 Hint: Convert the final answer to m²/day after calculating transmissibility.
A well drawdown test reveals that a well in a low transmissibility aquifer with k = 0.01 m/s and b = 8 m is not yielding sufficiently. Propose a method to improve water extraction from this well.
💡 Hint: Consider the physical properties of the aquifer.
