A confined aquifer has a specific storage of 2.4 x 10-S ft and a thickness of 300 ft. How much water (in acre-ft) would it yield

Answer:

water it yield is 244290.45 ft

Explanation:

given data

specific storage SS = 2.4 × 10^{-5} ft

thickness b = 300 ft

water declined ΔH  = 4.8 ft

radius r = 1,500 ft

to find out

How much water  would it yield

solution

we know that

volume of water is

Vw = S × Area ×  ΔH    ..............1

here S = specific storage × thickness

S = 2.4 × 10^{-5} × 300

S = 7.2 ×  10^{-3}

and

area = πr² = π 1,500² = 7068589.471 ft²

so

volume of water is

Vw = 7.2 ×  10^{-3}  × 7068589.471 ×  4.8

Vw = 244290.45

so water it yield is 244290.45 ft

Why is difficult to forward a single and uniform meaning to the term geography​
dusya [7]

Answer:

The discipline of geography encompasses a broad range of approaches to the interrelationship between human activity and the physical features of the earth.

Explanation:

The academic scope of geography is very broad because there are multiple ways that we interact with our physical environments and thus there are many subjects that fall under the disciplinary boundaries of geography. There are two major subfields: Physical geography and human geography. The focus in physical geography is generally more akin to the natural sciences, and human geography is more like the social sciences.  These two subfields can have radically different emphasis and research design and this contributes to the difficulties in giving geography a single or uniform meaning.

What is the ocean current
juin [17]
An ocean current is a continuous movement of water in the ocean in some direction - this means that the water flows at a similar speed and direction despite the fact that it's not the same water - i.e. there is a water exchange in the current. The currents are caused by such factors as temperature and salinity of water.

Describe how the modern U.S economy has changed its emphasis on industry and manufacturing
babymother [125]

    The United States remained a largely agricultural nation until late in the 19th century. Unskilled workers fared poorly in the early U.S. economy, receiving as little as half the pay of skilled craftsmen, artisans, and mechanics. About 40 percent of the workers in the cities were low-wage laborers and seamstresses in clothing factories, often living in dismal circumstances. With the rise of factories, children, women, and poor immigrants were commonly employed to run machines.

Alternative energy sources like solar and wind power
maw [93]

Answer:

c. are renewable

Explanation:

There are many energy sources that the humans have learned to use and exploit. Some resources are non-renewable, while some a re renewable. The non-renewable tend to be cheaper for the time being, and they also tend to produce more energy, but the problem is that the reserves will eventually run out. On the other side, the renewable resources are constantly out there, and they can not be spent, which gives them the advantage on the long run.

The alternative energy sources have been more and more in the focus, especially when it comes to the more developed nations. The main reasons for this are that the fossil fuels will eventually run out, and that they are more environment friendly. This has led to development of technology that is able to harvest energy from the sun, water, and wind, all which are natural resources that are constantly present and can not be spent. Some nations have invested so much in these resources that they have gradually started to replace the fossil fuels, with the end goal being stopping the usage of the fossil fuels totally.
