Question 1

What does transmissibility measure?

  • Rate of flow through aquifers
  • Amount of water contained in soil
  • Pressure of underground water

💡 Hint: Think about water movement.

Question 2

True or False: Higher transmissibility always ensures a better aquifer.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider aquifer performance.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
