Question 1

What is the relationship between specific yield and groundwater modeling?

  • Specific yield is irrelevant
  • Specific yield is critical for accurate modeling
  • Specific yield only applies to confined aquifers

💡 Hint: Consider how simulations depend on accurate input.

Question 2

True or False: Specific yield helps determine how much groundwater can be sustainably extracted.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about its role in sustainability.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given an unconfined aquifer with a specific yield of 0.15 and an area of 500 square meters, if the water table declines by 2 meters, calculate the volume of water released.

💡 Hint: Remember the formula: ΔV = Sy * A * Δh.

Question 2

If an aquifer's specific yield is underestimated, what potential environmental impacts could occur during drought conditions?

💡 Hint: Think about the repercussions on both quantity and quality of groundwater.
