A 300 mm diameter test well penetrates 24 m. below the static water table. After 24 hours of pumping at 69 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 and the other observation well at a distance of 34 m. from the test well, the drawdown is 1.2 m a) Compute the coefficient of permeability of the unconfined aquifer b) Compute the transmissivity of the unconfined aquifer.
