Question: Problem 1 : Find the flow rate from a well penetrating fully in an unconfined aquifer. The well has a diameter of 2 2 cm

Problem 1:
Find the flow rate from a well penetrating fully in an unconfined aquifer. The well has a diameter of 22 cm . The water surface elevation in the well is 1320 m . The static water surface elevation is 1321.5 m . The radius of influence of the well is 1080 m . The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is 0.24 m/day. The bottom of the aquifer has an elevation of 1312 m .[10]
Hint: For an unconfined aquifer the average thickness of the aquifer must be used. First find the thicknesses of the aquifer (height from the bottom of the aquifer to water level) at the two points where the equation is applied and then find the average value of the aquifer thickness. The drawdown is zero at the radius of the influence.
