Aconfined aquifer has a specific storage of 25 10-6 m


A confined aquifer has a specific storage of 2.5 * 10^-6 /m . The porosity is .20 and the water compressibility is 5 * 10-10/Pa.

a) What is compressibility of the aquifer skelton?

b) For the aquifer skeleton compressibility you just calculated, what would the aquifer specific storage be if porosity were 50%.

c)What effect does the increasing porosity have on aquifer storativity? Why?
