Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Calculate the discharge rate for a confined aquifer with T = 5 m²/day, h1 = 40m, and h2 = 35m at r1 = 50m and r2 = 200m.

💡 Hint: Ensure you've applied the logarithm function correctly in your calculations.

Challenge 2 Hard

For an unconfined aquifer where k = 0.7 m/day, if the water elevations are 17m and 10m with distances r1 = 10m and r2 = 30m, calculate Q.

💡 Hint: Make sure to correctly compute the logarithm of the distance ratio.
