A 0.5 m diameter discharging well is located in area bounded by bedrock and a perennial river (see below). The well fully penetrates the aquifer, which is 60 m thick. Assuming the pumping rate from the well is 0.15 m3/s, the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is 13.33 m/day, and S = 1.0 x 10-4.
A) Without making calculations, draw the expected water table profile along the line from Bedrock Mountain to Rubble River as if neither the mountain or river were present. (Note: Only the profile shape is important)
B) On the same figure and without making calculations, draw the expected water table profile along the line from Bedrock Mountain to Rubble River assuming the mountain and river are present. (Note: Only the profile shape and its relationship to the part A solution are important)
C) Compute the water table profile drawn in part B. Provide a detailed description of your methodology, and limit your solution to include only 4 image wells. Plot the profile, and provide drawdown amounts at X = -400 m, -200 m, -100 m, 100 m, 200 m, 400 m, and 800 m from the well (with X = 0 at the well). BEDROCK RUBBLE MOUNTAIN %
