Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A soil sample weighs 150 g when saturated and 120 g after draining using the Gravimetric Method. Calculate the specific yield and interpret the result in terms of aquifer performance.

💡 Hint: Think in terms of percentage to relate performance to aquifer management.

Question 2

In a comparative study, soil samples from two different locations show a specific yield of 0.15 and 0.25, respectively. Discuss how these differences might affect groundwater extraction strategies.

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of water availability on management practices.
