Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given an aquifer with a porosity of 30%, calculate the volume of water it can hold if the total volume is 10,000 m³.
💡 Hint: Use the porosity percentage to find the water volume.
If a pumping test reveals a drawdown of 2 m in a well and the storage coefficient is 0.05, what is the volume of water released for an area of 500 m²?
💡 Hint: Remember the formula for storage coefficient!
