HYDROLOGY NUMERICALS

1. Two river A and B runs parallel to each other .They are join by an rectangular
aquifer having length 30cm and width 10cm.if the depth of water in river A and B
are 30cm and 40cm respectively then calculate the amount of water discharge from
river B to river A at the end of the day.(k=3cm/day)
2. A cylindrical aquifer having radius 10m has an effective porosity of 25%. water
flowing through the aquifer at rate of 4m/sec. calculate the amount of water
discharge from the aquifer at the end of the day.
3. A confined aquifer is 20 m thick and 2 km wide. Two observation wells are
located 1 km apart in the direction of flow. The head in well 1 is 90 m and in
well 2 it is 87 m. The hydraulic conductivity is 0,8 m/day. What is the total
daily flow of water through the aquifer?
4. An unconfined aquifer has a hydraulic conductivity of 0.0020 cm/s and an
effective porosity 0.27. The aquifer is in a bed of sand with a uniform thickness
of 31 m, as measured from the lateral surface. At well 1, the water table is
21 m below the land surface. At well 2, located some 175 m away, the water
table is 23.5 m from the surface. What is the discharge per unit width?
5. Determine the seepage velocity of the ground water from the following datasets:
Average K of aquifer is 11m/day.
Effective Porosity is 10%.
Piezometric contour value at up-gradient point is 164m.
Piezometric contour value at down-gradient point is 152m.
Average distance between contours is 18km.
6. During hydrogeological investigation two potential aquifers 32 km apart, were
located, one being 5,000 years and the other 25,000 years old. They were found to
be connected by a water bearing stratum of 30 m thickness with a specific discharge
at 20 m/day. From a few observation wells, the hydraulic gradient was found to be
0.2 m/km. Determine the transmissibility of the water bearing stratum.
7. If the volume of voids present in a rock is 50g/cm3 in a 300g/cm3 of rock, Calculate
the porosity of the given rock.
8. In a certain experiment, Rahul observed that per 3cm of decline in the head the
volume change was 9cm3. His Prof. had told that the storativity of the aquifer was
40. Then calculate the area of cross section water is flowing through.
9. In a random experiment on an aquifer having hydraulic conductivity 0.5m/day, the
specific discharge was found out to be 40m/day. Calculate the transmittivity of the
aquifer if its 320m thick.
10. Calculate the porosity of the aquifer if 3500m3 of water flows through an area of
400m2. Given that, the velocity of water flowing through voids is 34m/s.
