A well is pumping at an unknown, steady rate in a confined aquifer. Near the pumping well are two observation wells; observation well A is located 8m from the pumping well and B is located 24m from the pump- ing well. The heads in these wells are hA = 134.20 and hB = 134.28 m. You know from prior pumping tests of the well that the well and the observation wells are screened in a confined aquifer with transmissivity T = 1200 m2/day. Assuming that without the well pumping there would be no hydraulic gradient at all, what is the pumping rate of the well?
Give me right solution according to the question. Urgent please A 20-cm diameter well completely penetrates a confined aquifer of permeability 0.088 cm/sec. The length of the aquifer is 34 m. When pumping was kept constant at 78 L/sec, the drawdown at an observation well, 112 meters from the pumping well, was found to be 0.79 meters. Determine the drawdown at the face of the pumping well (in meters).
A pumping test was made in a sand layer extending to a depth of 16m. The initial groundwater table was located 2m below the ground surface. Observation wells were sighted at distances 4m and 9.5m from the pumping well. Using a discharge of 0.4 cubic meters per hour, a steady level is attained at the pumping well. The measured drawdowns at the two observation wells are 2m and 0.25m respectively. Solve the drawdown 5m from the pumping well.
QUESTION 11 1. The discharge from a fully penetrating well operating under steady state in a confined aquifer of 30 m thickness is 1500 liters/minutes.

) A pumping test carried out in a 50 m thick confined aquifer resulted in a flow rate of 600l/min. The thickness of the impermeable layer above the aquifer is 20 m and the originalwater level in the well was 2 mm below the ground surface (which is also the top of theimpermeable layer). Drawdowns in two observation wells located 50 m and 100 m fromthe well are 3 and 1 m respectively. Calculate:i) The coefficient of permeability of the aquifer, ii) The drawdown in the well, iii) The radius of influence. The diameter of the well is 0.6 m.
An artesian aquifer is being pumped by a fully penetrating well. As a consulting engineer, you are tasked to find the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer. The aquifer is 100 ft thick and composed of medium sand. You pump the water from the production well at a steady-state pumping rate of 1000 gallons per minute (gpm). The drawdown at one observation well 50 ft away is 10 ft; in a second observation well 500 ft away it is 1 ft. The hydraulic conductivity you calculate is -gpd/square ft. Make sure you draw the Free Body Diagram (FBD).
