Groundwater Flow

The term groundwater refers to the water which is found beneath the earth's surface. Pores present in the soil and rocks with fractures make a passage for rainwater to enter the earth's surface and deposit as groundwater. The flow nature and direction of groundwater under the earth's surface directly impacts the strength and compressibility of the soil, which reflects its ability to support structural loads.

Question

The partial pressure for CO2 at the earth’s surface is 10^−3.4 atm.

1) Determine the partial pressure of CO2 in the groundwater aquifer if the dissolved CO2 is known to be 10 parts per thousand and pressure is 1atm

2) Calculate the ratio between the surface and the ground water
