Calculate the daily discharge per 1000 feet into the river

Reference no: EM13315738

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.
