An unconfined aquifer covering an area of 50 ha has a hydraulic conductivity of 20 m day⁻¹ and specific yield of 12%. After a significant rainfall event, the water table rises from 17 m to 14.5 m below the ground level. Assuming no abstraction and outflow of groundwater during the recharge period, the amount of groundwater recharge contributed by the rainfall in m³ is _______.
Correct : 150000
