Discharge per Unit Width of Aquifer at any Location x Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Discharge per Unit Width of Aquifer at any Location x?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
qx=R(x-(Lstream2))+(K2Lstream)(ho2-h12)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
qx=16m³/s(2m³/s-(4.09m2))+(9cm/s24.09m)(12m2-5m2)
Next Step Convert Units
qx=16m³/s(2m³/s-(4.09m2))+(0.09m/s24.09m)(12m2-5m2)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
qx=16(2-(4.092))+(0.0924.09)(122-52)
Next Step Evaluate
qx=21.18195m³/s
LAST Step Rounding Answer
qx=21.182m³/s

Discharge per Unit Width of Aquifer at any Location x Formula Elements

Variables
Discharge of Aquifer at any Location x

Symbol: qx
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Natural Recharge
The Natural Recharge is a process by which groundwater is replenished naturally when precipitation infiltrates the ground, moving through the soil and rock layers until it reaches the water table.
Symbol: R
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Flow in 'x' Direction
The Flow in 'x' Direction refers to the one-dimensional Dupit flow with recharge representation.
Symbol: x
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Length between Upstream and Downstream
The Length between Upstream and Downstream refers to the horizontal base with a difference in surface elevations.
Symbol: Lstream
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Coefficient of Permeability
The Coefficient of Permeability of soil describes how easily a liquid will move through the soil.
Symbol: K
