Determine the maximum water table elevation

Reference no: EM13555195

A canal was constructed running parallel to a river 1500 ft away. Both fully penetrate a sand aquifer with a hydraulic conductivity of 1.2 ft/d. The area is subject to rainfall of 1.8 ft/y and evaporation of 1.3 ft/y. The elevation of water above the base of the aquifer in the river is 31 ft and in the canal is 27 ft. Determine

(A) the water divide

(B) the maximum water table elevation

(D) daily discharge per 1000 feet into the canal.

What is the concentration of salt in the stream after the : A storm sewer is carrying snow melt containing 1200 mg/L of NaCl into a small stream. The stream has a naturally occurring NaCl concentration of 20 mg/L. If the storm sewer flow rate is 2000 L/min and the stream flow is 2.0

Which reactor is more efficient and why : There are three reactors degrading a chemical biologically, at three degradation rates; i.e., 0.2 d^-1, 0.4 d^-1, and 1.0 d^-1. The residence time of the chemical in these reactors are 10 d, 5 d, and 55 d, respectively

Determine the crest height of a suppressed weir that should : A weir is to be installed to measure flows in the range of 0.5 to 1.0 m3/sec. If the maximum (total) depth of water that can be accommodated at the weir is 1m and the width of the channel is 4m, determine the crest height of a suppressed weir that sh..
