MCQ (Single Correct) +4 −1

The water table in a certain area has been observed to decline by 2 meters over the past year. If the specific yield of the aquifer is 0.15 and the area of influence of pumping is estimated to be 10 hectares, calculate the total volume of water lost from the aquifer due to the declining water table.
