Question: 1 9 . In a field pumping test the thickness of the formation to bedrock was 4 0 m and the groundwater was 2 m

19. In a field pumping test the thickness of the formation to bedrock was 40m and the groundwater
was 2 m below the ground surface. At a pumping rate of 0.20 m3/s the water levels in two
observation wells, 10 m and 30 m from the pumping well experienced drawdowns of 3.0 m and
2.0 m respectively. Determine the permeability.
a.5.60 x 10-5 m/s
b.9.85 x 10-4 m/s
c.6.22 x 10-4 m/s
d.6.87 x 10-4 m/s
20. What will be the radius of influence of the problem in Q19 to the nearest metre?
a.296 m
b.127 m
c.85 m
d.150 m
