Question: P 3 . ( 2 0 points ) Water is pumped out of an artesian aquifer which is 1 0 0 f t thick. Head

P3.(20 points) Water is pumped out of an artesian aquifer which is 100ft thick. Head at distance r=1000ft is fixed and equals 120ft. All heads are measured relative to aquifer base, z=0.
Determine the theoretical maximum pumping rate of the well, Qmax.
Determine the distance r from center of the well to the point where flow transitions from confined to unconfined for pumping rate Qmax.
Determine the radial flow Qrr(in ft2? day) and specific discharge qrr at transition point for Qmax.
