Question: A fully penetrating well has been pumping from a large confined aquifer for a long time. The hydraulic conductivity ( K ) of the aquifer

A fully penetrating well has been pumping from a large confined aquifer for a long time. The hydraulic conductivity (K) of the aquifer is 0.022cms. At a point 30m from the well, the slope of the piezometric surface is 0.0217. The saturated thickness of the aquifer is 15m.
(a) Calculate the well discharge in m3s.(10 points)
(b) What is the drawdown )=(s1-s2 between r1=0.2m and r2=30
m.(10 points)
