Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If an aquifer contains mostly fine sand, which has a specific yield of 10-20%, how would this affect strategies for water extraction compared to an aquifer with primarily gravel (15-30%)?
💡 Hint: Compare the extraction potential based on the specific yield values.
How might the specific yield of limestone with karst features (5-20%) impact water management in rural areas compared to non-karst limestone?
💡 Hint: Think about the implications of porous structures in aquifer management.
