Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Analyzing a confined aquifer, you find the storativity to be 0.005. If the pressure decreases by 20% due to pumping, how much water can be expected to be released?
💡 Hint: You need to relate storativity with the change in pressure and define the area.
You're managing a well in an unconfined aquifer. The specific yield is 0.20. What will be the water volume released if the area of influence is 1000 square meters and the water table declines by 2 meters?
💡 Hint: Remember how to apply the specific yield formula!
