Groundwater flows through an aquifer with cross-sectional and of 1.0 × 104 m2 and a length of 1500 m. Hydraulic heads are 300 m and 250 m at the groundwater entry and exit points in the aquifer, respectively. Groundwater discharges into a stream at the rate of 750 m3/day. Then the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is
1
1.50 m/day
2
2.25 m/day
3
3.50 m/day
4
4.25 m/day
