Question: Time - Varying Pumping [ 5 points ] A pump operates at 4 , 0 0 0 f t 3 ? day in a confined

Time-Varying Pumping [5 points]
A pump operates at 4,000ft3? day in a confined aquifer (b=100ft) with T=500ft2? day and S=0.0002. Drawdown is assessed
at a distance r=100ft from the well. Provide a plot of drawdown vs. time (up to 30 days) for the following three scenarios:
a) Pump is shut off at 10 days.
b) Pump rate decreases to 2,000ft3? day at 10 days.
c) Pump rate increases to 6,000ft3? day at 10 days.
Estimating Aquifer Properties under Steady Conditions [5 points]
In the unconfined aquifer shown below, the pumping well is metered. After a long period of pumping, Q has stabilized, and is
measured to be approximately 8,000m3? day. At this time, groundwater head is measured in two monitoring wells (the first on
the left side; the second on the right side): at 20m from the well, head is measured to be 27.7m; at 80m from the well, head
is measured to be 32.4m.
a) Draw the current system conditions on the diagram below.
b) Estimate the hydraulic conductivity K of the aquifer.
Estimating Aquifer Properties in a Confined Aquifer [5 points]
For the pumping test data shown on Page 4 of Lecture 6.4, estimate T and S of the confined aquifer, using:
Spreadsheet approach (minimize residuals)
AQTESOLV. Show a screenshot of results.
Estimating Aquifer Properties in an Unconfined Aquifer [5 points]
For the Gilcrest pumping test problem shown on Page 6 of Lecture 6.4, estimate T and Sy of the unconfined aquifer
using the data provided in the spreadsheet Problem 6 data. You can use either a spreadsheet approach or AQTESOLV.
