Now imagine you were sailing with Ferdinand Magellan, who led the first group of ships to circumnavigate the Earth. Look up “circumnavigate” if you’re unsure what it means. Now imagine you leave Spain, and you head South toward the bottom of South America. Every night on the boat, you look at the stars. What would Polaris be “doing” from night to night ? What happens when the boat crosses the equator ?r

With a mean annual discharge of 6,000 acre - feet/year at the springs, what would be the average transmissivity of the aquifer i

QveST [7]

Answer:

transmissivity =0.0001458235 m² / year

Explanation:

given data

discharge = 6,000 acre - feet/year = 0.001775566 cubic miles

width of aquifer = 1.8 miles

Gradient = 0.95%

to find out

what would be the average transmissivity of the aquifer

solution

we know that transmissivity formula that is

transmissivity = $\frac{Q}{W*i}$

here Q is discharge and W is width and i is gradient

so put here value

transmissivity = $\frac{Q}{W*i}$

transmissivity = $\frac{0.001775566}{1.8*0.45}$

transmissivity =0.0010383427 mile² / year

and we know 1 miles² = 2589988.11 m²

transmissivity =0.0001458235 m² / year
