Question: Problem 9 A permeability test was carried out in a confined aquifer with the piezometric level before pumping is 2 . 1 8 m below

Problem 9
A permeability test was carried out in a confined aquifer with the
piezometric level before pumping is 2.18m below the ground
surface. The aquiclude has a thickness of 5.7m measured from
the ground surface and the confined aquifer is 7.6m deep until it
reaches the aquiclude (impermeable layer) at the bottom. At a
steady pumping rate of 15.6cu.m/ hour the drawdown in the
observation wells were respectively equal to 1.62m and 0.47m.
The distances of the observation wells from the center of the test
well were 15m and 32m respectively.
(a) Compute the depth of water at the farthest observation
well.
(b) Compute the coefficient of permeability. in ms
(c) Compute the transmissivity. in sq.m /s
