Rate of movement through aquifer and confining bed Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Groundwater Velocity = (Hydraulic Conductivity/Porosity of Soil)*Hydraulic Gradient
v = (K/η)*dhds
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Groundwater Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Groundwater Velocity refers to the speed at which groundwater moves through the pores or fractures in a subsurface material, such as soil or rock.
Hydraulic Conductivity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Hydraulic Conductivity refers to the property of porous materials, such as soils and rocks, that describes the ease with which a fluid can move through the pore or fractures within the material.
Porosity of Soil - The Porosity of Soil refers to the volume of voids or pore spaces within a soil, which can be filled with air or water.
Hydraulic Gradient - The Hydraulic Gradient refers to the ratio of difference in height of water to that of the horizontal distance between the wells or a specific measurement of liquid pressure above vertical datum.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Hydraulic Conductivity: 2.5 Meter per Second --> 2.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Porosity of Soil: 0.32 --> No Conversion Required
Hydraulic Gradient: 0.1 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v = (K/η)*dhds --> (2.5/0.32)*0.1

Evaluating ... ...

v = 0.78125

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.78125 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.78125 Meter per Second <-- Groundwater Velocity

Coefficient of Permeability when Discharge is Considered

Go Coefficient of Permeability = Discharge per Unit Width of Aquifer*Length between Upstream and Downstream/((Piezometric Head at Upstream End-Piezometric Head at Downstream End)*Aquifer Thickness)

Aquifer Thickness when Discharge is Considered

Go Aquifer Thickness = Discharge per Unit Width of Aquifer*Length between Upstream and Downstream/((Piezometric Head at Upstream End-Piezometric Head at Downstream End)*Coefficient of Permeability)

Discharge per unit width of aquifers

Go Discharge per Unit Width of Aquifer = ((Piezometric Head at Upstream End-Piezometric Head at Downstream End)/Length between Upstream and Downstream)*Coefficient of Permeability*Aquifer Thickness
