Probability plotA bridge will be built over the Meherrin River near the site that the discharge measurements were taken for the log-normal probability plot below. The service life of the bridge is 40 years. If a design discharge of 23,000 cfs is used for the bridge: (a) what is the probability that the bridge will be flooded in any one year? (b) What is the probability that the bridge will be flooded at least once over its service life? (Note: just focus on the “theoretical line” in the plot)

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING ( Practice Questions) a). Suppose a well 0.36m in diameter has been pumped at a rate of 3,000cu.m/day for a long enough time that steady-state conditions apply. An observation well located 30m from the pumped well has been drawn down by 1.0m, and another well at 120m is drawn down by 0.4m. The pumped well extends completely through an unconfined aquifer 60.0m thick. GIVEN: For an unconconfined aquifer, Q = πK(h2c1 – h2c2) / [Ln(r1 / r2)] Determine the hydraulic conductivity, K.
