Solution:

A tracer takes 100 days to travel from Well-1 to Well-2 which are 100 m apart. The elevation of water surface in Well-2 is 3 m below that in Well-1. Assuming porosity equal to 15%, the coefficient of permeability (expressed in m/day) is

Solution:

A catchment area has 4 rain gauge stations. In the year 1975, station D was inoperative, and stations A, B, and C recorded annual rainfall of 91.11, 72.23, and 78.89 cm respectively. Estimate the rainfall at station D in that year using the arithmetic mean method.
