QUESTION

In this exercise we need to determine the location of the hydrologic divide between Corvallis and Newport OR.

In this exercise we need to determine the location of the hydrologic divide between Corvallis and Newport OR. Here, we assume that the geologic properties of the 'Willamette Lowland Aquifer System', including the depth to a confining layer, hydraulic conductivity, and recharge rates, are consistent for the entire extent to the coast, independent of surface topography. You'll have to find documentation of the hydrogeology of this aquifer. Treat the Willamette confining unit, Willamette aquifer, and Willamette silt unit, as a single continuous aquifer unit with a basement at 100 ft. below sea level, and a conductivity with a mean value of the Willamette aquifer unit. At what location does the hydrologic divide occur, in km inland from Newport, and what is the height of the water table at this location. Provide a plot of the water table height along this transect from Newport to Corvallis. Finally, what is the flow rate of water into the ocean along the Pacific coast?
