Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
