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 m/m.
A. Compute the specific discharge in m/s.
B. Compute the average linear velocity in m/s.
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?
