4. A field sample of an unconfined aquifer is packed into a test cylinder. The length and diameter of the cylinder are 80cm and 20cm respectively. The field sample is tested for a period of 2 minutes under a constant head difference of 15 cm. As a result, 35 cm of water is collected at the outlet. a) Determine the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer b) During those 2 minutes, how far would water have travelled in the test cylinder if effective porosity was measured as 35%?
