A silty-sand aquifer has a hydraulic conductivity of 10-4 cm/s. Two piezometers are

located 300 m apart and indicate groundwater elevations of 12m and 10m above a datum.

The porosity of the aquifer is 0.30.

(a) What is the specific discharge in this aquifer?

(b) What is the maximum velocity that a salt tracer would move in this aquifer?

(c) Assuming that the aquifer is 8 m in depth, what is the discharge per meter

perpendicular to the water flow?
