A confined aquifer is bounded by two reservoirs. It is known that the aquifer consists of two formations with different hydraulic conductivity: K1=2.2 gpd/ft 2, K2 =3.2 gpd/ft 2. If it is known that the aquifer loses water through leakage at the rate of 0.2 in/day. Please a) compute discharge rate and specific discharge (Darcy velocity) at the two ends of the aquifer, b) plot the head surface. Assuming steady-state condition.
