Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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.

Challenge 2 Hard

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.
