Question

**I have solved 5.20 and found s = .007. the question i need help with is as follows: Determine the change in pressure head (in m) in the aquifer if 1,320,000 cubic meters of water are extracted from the aquifer, assuming an area of 1200 km2

5.20 A confined aquifer has an average thickness of 150 ft and a porosity of 0.35. If the com-
pressibility of water is 3 × 106 in.²/lb and the compressibility of material is 2.5 × 10-6
in. ²/1b, what is the storage coefficient of the aquifer?
