An industrial discharge well that fu lly penetrates a confined aquifer is pumped at a constant rate

Question:

An industrial discharge well that fu lly penetrates a confined aquifer is pumped at a constant rate of 300 m3/hr, but only on rare occasions when needed. The industry would like to install a second well on their property to increase their withdrawal capacity. However, the drawdown of the aquifer at a nearby residential well (a distance of 100 m from the first well) cannot exceed 10.5 m. If both wells are turned on at the same time and run for four days, and the second well is pumped at the rate of 200 m3 / hr, how close can the second well be placed to the residential well before the drawdown limitation is violated? The aquifer trans missivity is 25.0 m2/ hr, and the storage coefficient is 0.00025.
