Question 1

What happens to specific yield when saturation depth increases?

  • It decreases
  • It remains the same
  • It increases

💡 Hint: Consider the role of gravity in deeper saturation.

Question 2

True or False: Water held in micropores at shallow depths is more likely to drain under gravity.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Reflect on how gravity influences water movement.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the change in specific yield if the depth of saturation increases from 5 m to 10 m, knowing that specific yield increases linearly with depth at the site observed.

💡 Hint: Use linearity to determine the yield change over established depths.

Question 2

Evaluate how introducing finer grain sizes to an aquifer at depths of 5 m and 10 m would affect specific yield if previously observed rates were 25% and 30%.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how different soil types impact water drainage.
