Saturated thickness of aquifer when coefficient of storage for unconfined aquifer is considered Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Saturated Thickness of Aquifer = (Storage Coefficient-Specific Yield)/((Unit Weight of Fluid/1000)*(Compressibility+Porosity of soil*Compressibility of Water))
Bs = (S-Sy)/((γ/1000)*(α+η*β))
This formula uses 7 Variables
Variables Used
Saturated Thickness of Aquifer - Saturated Thickness of Aquifer is the thickness of the aquifer in which the pore spaces of rock forming the aquifer be with water.
Storage Coefficient - Storage Coefficient is the volume of water released from storage per unit decline in hydraulic head in the aquifer, per unit area of the aquifer.
Specific Yield - Specific Yield tells how much water is available for Consumptive use.
Unit Weight of Fluid - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Fluid is the weight per unit volume of a material/fluid.
Compressibility - Compressibility is defined as the ability of something (such as a fluid) to be reduced in volume or size under pressure.
Porosity of soil - Porosity of soil is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of soil.
Compressibility of Water - Compressibility of Water is the fractional change in volume per unit increase in pressure.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Storage Coefficient: 85 --> No Conversion Required
Specific Yield: 0.2 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Fluid: 9.807 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9807 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Compressibility: 1.5 --> No Conversion Required
Porosity of soil: 0.32 --> No Conversion Required
Compressibility of Water: 4.35 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Bs = (S-Sy)/((γ/1000)*(α+η*β)) --> (85-0.2)/((9807/1000)*(1.5+0.32*4.35))
Evaluating ... ...
Bs = 2.98993253048004
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
2.98993253048004 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
2.98993253048004 2.989933 <-- Saturated Thickness of Aquifer
