A 300 mm diameter test well penetrates 24 m below the static water table. After 24 hours of pumping at 70 liters per second, the water level in an observation well at a distance of 96 m from the test well is lowered by 0.60 m and the other observation well at a distance of 34 m from the test well, the drawdown is 1.2 m. 1. Compute the coefficient if permeability of the unconfined aquifer in m/day. 2. Compute the transmissibility of the unconfined aquifer in m2/day.
