Question: Problem 5 ( 2 0 points / 1 5 minutes ) A well pumps at steady state condition of 1 . 5 m 3 s

Problem 5(20 points/15 minutes)
A well pumps at steady state condition of 1.5m3s from a confined aquifer whose thickness is 20
m. If the drawdown 25m from the well is 0.5m and the draw down 50m from the well is 0.25m
(a) Calculate the hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity of the aquifer.
(b) Can storativity be estimated using these data? Why or why not? (Hint: write the GW flow equation for this situation)
(c) If the diameter of the pumped well is 0.5m and the drawdown at the pumped well is measured to be 3m, then calculate the radial distance to where the drawdown is equal to zero.
