Question: 1 7 . In a field pumping test the thickness of the formation to bedrock was 3 0 m and the groundwater was 3 m

17.
In a field pumping test the thickness of the formation to bedrock was 30m and the groundwater was 3 m below the ground surface. At a pumping rate of .0.015 m3/s the water levels in two observation wells, 15 m and 30 m from the pumping well, measured from the surface were 8.0 m and 6.0 m respectively. Determine the permeability.
a.
4.60 x 10-5 m/s
b.
6.85 x 10-4 m/s
c.
6.22 x 10-5 m/s
d.
3.60 x 10-5 m/s
18.

200 m
(b)
85 m
(c)
95 m
(d)
150 m?
