A confined sandstone aquifer has a hydraulic conductivity of K = 15.0 m/day, an aquifer thickness of b = 20.0 m, and an effective flow width of W = 500.0 m. Two monitoring wells separated by a flow distance of L = 800.0 m record piezometric head levels of h1 = 145.0 m and h2 = 141.0 m. According to Darcy's Law, what is the total volumetric groundwater flow rate (Q)?
