5.Two pumping wells 1,000 m away fully penetrate the same confined aquifer. One of the wells pumps at a rate of 1,240 m3/day. The second well pumps at 850 m3/day. If the aquifer has a transmissivity of 2,000 m2/day and a storage coefficient of 4 x 10-4, when would the wells start interfering with each other? Assume interference starts from 0.5 cm drawdown. Use Theis solution and well function values.
