Question
In ground water flow, the velocity with which a tracer would move is:
A.
The same as the seepage velocity given by Darcy's law
B.
C.
D.
k times hydraulic gradient (i.e. V = ki) where k is Darcy's coefficient
Answer ( Option A)

The same as the seepage velocity given by Darcy's law

Solution

The actual velocity (va) at which the water is moving through an aquifer, i.e. on an average, the velocity at which a tracer would move through a permeable medium, is given by   
Where, V = Discharge velocity
n = Porosity
Hence, In ground water flow, the velocity with which a tracer would move is the same as the seepage velocity given by Darcy's law
