Question:

A pumping well was drilled and completed in a sand aquifer. Before the pump was turned on, the slope of the water table (hydraulic gradient) and the flow rate were measured to be 0.0001 and 1 m3/day, respectively. With the pump turned on, the slope (gradient) becomes 10 times larger. By how much does the flow rate increase?
