Imagine that you live in a remote mining colony in a polar region of Mars. It long has been suspected that liquid groundwater exists in this area, and your job is to develop a water supply for the colony. Permeameter tests, conducted on Earth, indicate that the Martian soil has a porosity of 0.4, a bulk density or 2 g/cm3, and a hydraulic conductivity of 10-4 cm/sec. It also contains 1% organic carbon. By using primitive auguring equipment, you eventually succeed in drilling a hole 10 cm in diameter fully through a saturated zone 5 m thick. You estimate recharge from melting polar ice during the summer amounts to 8 cm per Earth year. Estimate the steady state well yield if drawdown 1 m from the well is not to exceed 0.3 m.
