Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A well extracts water at a rate of 10 m³/s from a confined aquifer with a transmissivity of 100 m²/day. Calculate the change in piezometric head if the distance from the well is 50 meters.
💡 Hint: Remember the relationship between flow rate and transmissivity in relation to head changes.
Analyze the impact of rainfall on an unconfined aquifer's water table versus a confined aquifer. Discuss the recharge rates and long-term implications of both.
💡 Hint: Think about the differences in how each aquifer type interacts with surface water.
