Question: ( b ) A confined aquifer is exploited by 2 wells 3 0 0 m m diameter, aligned in a straight line, at a distance

(b) A confined aquifer is exploited by 2 wells 300mm diameter, aligned in a straight line, at a distance of 500m, and pumped at the same rate of 1500m3? day. If the thickness of the aquifer is 50m, and the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is 10md. Calculate the maximum drawdown induced, if the radius of influence of the wells is 500m.
