An aquifer has a hydraulic conductivity of 12 ft/day and an effective porosity of 17% and is under a hydraulic gradient of 0.0055.

(A) Compute the specific discharge.

(B) Compute the average linear velocity.

C) The water temperature is 14°C and the mean pore diameter is 0.33 mm. Is it permissible to use Darcy’s law under these circumstances? What is the reason for your answer?
