Question: QUESTION 3 a . A 1 - m diameter well penetrates vertically through a confined aquifer 3 0 m thick. When the well is pumped

QUESTION 3
a. A 1-m diameter well penetrates vertically through a confined aquifer 30m thick. When the well is pumped at 113m3h, the drawdown in a well 15m away is 1.8m, in another well 50m away, it is 0.5m.
i. What is the approximate head in the pumped well for steady state conditions and what is the approximate drawdown in the well.
ii. Calculate the transmissivity of the aquifer and the radius of influence of the pumping well. Take the initial piezometric level as 40m above the datum.
