Question
Two heterogeneous confined aquifers are shown below. The top has two soil units in series, and the bottom has two soil units in parallel. Flow is from left to right. The choices below refer to the head difference from the left side of a soil unit to the right side of the soil unit. Which of the following is true?
The flow through soil A equals the flow through soil B, and the head difference across soil C equals the head difference across soil D.
The flow through soil C equals the flow through soil D, and the head difference across soil A equals the head difference across soil B.
The head difference across soil A equals the head difference across soil B, and the head difference across soil C equals the head difference across soil D.
The flow through soil A equals the flow through soil B, and the flow through soil C equals the flow through soil D.
I do not know. I have asked a question about this material below.
a.The flow through soil A equals the flow through soil B, and the head difference across soil C equals the head difference across soil D.
b.The flow through soil C equals the flow through soil D, and the head difference across soil A equals the head difference across soil B.
c.The head difference across soil A equals the head difference across soil B, and the head difference across soil C equals the head difference across soil D.
d.The flow through soil A equals the flow through soil B, and the flow through soil C equals the flow through soil D.
e.I do not know. I have asked a question about this material below.
Explanation / Answer
The flow through soil A equals the flow through soil B, and the head difference across soil C equals the head difference across soil D.
reason: for soil strata in series the flow through them will be the same what ever be the property....just like current through the resistors in series....
and the head drop across the strara C and D will be same just like the potential drop in resistors connected in parallel.
