Question 1

What does the Well Function (W(u)) represent?

  • A measure of aquifer thickness
  • A dimensionless function accounting for groundwater flow geometry
  • The rate of water extraction from a well

💡 Hint: Think about what factors influence the shape of water movement in aquifers.

Question 2

True or False: The storage coefficient is indicative of the volume of water an aquifer can release or store.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider why storage is critical in aquifer management.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If the well extracts water at 200 m³/day from an aquifer with transmissibility of 100 m²/day, determine how much drawdown occurs at a point 50 meters away after 2 hours of pumping.

💡 Hint: You may need to convert units into a compatible system before using the equations.

Question 2

Discuss how variable storage coefficients affect the sustainability of groundwater resources in two different aquifer contexts.

💡 Hint: Think about how each coefficient influences water retention and release.
