Groundwater Hydrology
D Nagesh Kumar, IIScWater Resources Planning and Management: M8L34
Subsurface water is stored underneath in subsurface formations called aquifers Unconfined aquifer: Upper surface is water table itself Confined aquifer is confined under pressure greater than the atmospheric Confined aquifer may be confined between two impermeable layers An aquifer serves two functions:
Storage and Transmission.
Storage function: Exhibited through porosity Φ, specific yield Sy and storage coefficient S.
Transmission function: Exhibited through the permeability property (coefficient of permeability K).

Porosity: Measure of the amount of water an aquifer can hold
Specific yield: Water drained from a saturated sample of unit volume
Specific retention: Water retained in the unit volume
Porosity is the sum of specific yield and specific retention
Storage coefficient: Volume of water an aquifer releases or stores per unit surface
area per unit decline of head
Permeability: Measure of the ease of movement of water through aquifers
Coefficient of permeability or hydraulic conductivity: Rate of flow of water
through a unit cross-sectional area under a unit hydraulic gradient

Transmissivity T: Rate of flow of water through a vertical strip of unit width extending the saturated thickness of the aquifer under a unit hydraulic gradient
T = K b for a confined aquifer where b is the saturated thickness of aquifer T = K h for a confined aquifer where h is the head (saturated thickness)
Darcy’s law Flow thorough an aquifer is expressed by Darcy’s law
Can be expressed as (1)
where v is the velocity or specific discharge, l is the length of flow along the average direction and is the rate of headloss per unit length. Then, the total discharge, q is (2)

Darcy’s law states that flow rate through a porous media is proportional to the head loss and inversely proportional to the length of flow path

Optimization Model
D Nagesh Kumar, IIScWater Resources Planning and Management: M8L311
Optimization models for hydraulic management for groundwater have been
developed based on three approaches: Embedding approach: Equations from a simulation model are incorporated into an
optimization model directly Optimal control approach: Simulation model solves the governing equations, for
each iteration of the optimization. It works on the concept of optimal control theory Unit response matrix approach: A unit response matrix is generated by running the
simulation model several times with unit pumpage at a single node. Total
drawdowns are then determined by superpositions. In this lecture, we will discuss only about the embedding approach for steady-state
one-dimensional confined and unconfined aquifers.
