 Solve any TWO out of FOUR
Q.2 ( 2* 5=10 )marks

Two tube wells each of 200 mm diameter penetrate fully in a confined aquifer
and are spaced at 150 m. Find the ratio of discharge from one well to the
A
discharge from both wells under the same drawdown. Take radius of
influence as 200 m.

At a certain point in an unconfined aquifer of 3 km² area, the water table

was at an elevation of 102.00 m. Due to natural recharge in a wet season, its
level rose to 103.20 m. A volume of 1.5 Mm3 of water was pumped out of the
B
aquifer causing the water table to reach a level of 101.20 m. Assuming the
water table in the entire aquifer to respond in a similar way, estimate (a) the
specific yield of the aquifer and (b) the volume of recharge during the wet
season. 
C Explain Reservoir Sedimentation with neat sketch
D Explain Majour Irrigation Projects and Classification
