Question: 4 . ( 2 5 ) A 1 5 diameter well in a confined aquifer is being pumped at a steady rate. During pumping,

4.(25) A 15" diameter well in a confined aquifer is being pumped at a steady rate. During pumping, a monitoring well located 60 feet from the pumping well has a drawdown of 4 feet and the radius of influence is 400 feet. When the well is not pumped, the static pieziometric pressure head of the aquifer is 70 feet above the upper confining layer. Geological data reveal that the aquifer consists of peat and the upper and lower confining layers are located \(100\& 180\) feet below the ground surface, respectively.
a. Draw a schematic of the well and aquifer system being sure to label everything.
b. What is the discharge from the pumping well (in gpm)?
c. Find the monitoring well pressure (in \(\underline{\mathbf{p s i}}\)) during pumping relative to the upper confining layer.
d. What is the pieziometric drawdown at the production well during pumping (in \(\underline{\mathrm{t}}\))?
e. Calculate the travel time from the monitoring well to the production well during pumping (in days).
