Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have observed that during a pumping test, the water level in a piezometer drops by 5 feet and recovers to 4.5 feet after an hour. Calculate the specific yield if the area of influence is 10 acres.

💡 Hint: Convert feet to a consistent volume unit for calculations.

Question 2

Design an experiment to combine both the gravimetric and centrifuge methods to analyze specific yield. What would be the expected outcomes, and how would you justify your approach?

💡 Hint: Think about controlling variables effectively while utilizing both methods.
