Question: Chapter 5 , Problem 1 . A community is installing a new well in a regionally confined aquifer with a transmissivity of 1 5 8

Chapter 5, Problem 1. A community is installing a new well in a regionally confined aquifer
with a transmissivity of 1589 ft2/day and a storativity of 0.0005. The planned pumping rate is
325 gal/min. There are several nearby wells tapping the same aquifer, and the project manager
needs to know if the new well will cause significant interference with these wells. Compute
the theoretical drawdown caused by the new well after 30 days of continuous pumping at the
following distances: 50,150,250,500,1000,3000,6000, and 10,000 ft. Please provide a
summary table (with supporting intermediate values there should be four columns total) as
your final answer.
Using the same information given above Compute the
drawdown at a distance of 250 ft at the following times: 1,2,5,10,15,30, and 60 minutes;
2,5, and 12 hours; and 1,5,10,20 and 30 days. Please provide your final answer in the same
format as question 1.
