A 100mm diameter well penetrates a 10m thick confined aquifer. The steady state drawdowns were found to be 2.5 and 0.05m at distances of 10m and 40m, respectively, from the centre of the well, when the well was operated with a constant discharge rate of 125 Vminute for 12 hours. Using the Dupuit-Thiem equation, calculate the transmissibility and hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer.
