ASSIGNMENT
The unconfined aquifer shown below is situated between two surface water features. The aquifer overlies impermeable bedrock (elevation of 90 ft) and has a hydraulic conductivity of 46 ft/d. Surface water feature 1 has a water elevation of 156.3 ft and surface water feature 2 has a water elevation of 149.0 ft. The distance between water bodies is 1,680 ft. The average rate of recharge is 0.028 ft/d.
- What is the average discharge per unit width at x = 0 (in units of gal/ft/d)?
- What is the average discharge per unit width at x = 525 ft (in units of gal/ft/d)?
- Is there a water table divide? If so, where is it located?
- What is the maximum height of the water table?
- Sketch or plot (EXCEL) the water table (h(x) vs x). Indicate the scale and vertical exaggeration of your sketch/plot. A vertical exaggeration of 20:1 is recommended on the plot
