The formation of a valley has a hydraulic conductivity of 400 ft/day and porosity of 0.25. The water table gradient was found to be 1 ft over 1000 ft. using two observation wells. The average depth of water table in the aquifer is 100 ft. (a) Determine the rate of flow per unit width of the aquifer.
