Exercise 5
The following data are available for a multi-level observation well in which the screens and hydraulic heads are below sea level (data courtesy of Frank Smits, Waternet, The Netherlands). Calculate the vertical, specific discharge qz in mm d-1. The aquifer has a hydraulic conductivity of 20 m d–1.
| Screen | zi (m) | hi (m) | ρi (kg/m3) |
| 1 | −76.41 | −3.13 | 1004.3 |
| 2 | −96.44 | −3.08 | 1004.3 |
| 3 | −118.93 | −3.04 | 1004.3 |
