Question Answered step-by-step 1. The underlying lithology is a sandstone with a permeability of 3… 1. The underlying lithology is a sandstone with a permeability of 3 meters per day. Calculate the discharge of the aquifer, which is 8 kilometers wide and 46 meters thick. a. To do this, use an average hydraulic gradient for the entire map area. b. Be certain to provide your work with your answer. c. Give your final answer with the correct units. Hint: To determine the average hydraulic gradient, use the highest and lowest groundwater-surface elevation contours and measure the distance as a line where groundwater would flow, recalling that groundwater flow is perpendicular to contour lines.

What would be a better choice of an earth material on which to site a landfill, and why? Hint: consider porosity and permeability.
