A confined aquifer has an average thickness of 20 m. Two fully penetrating wells are used to monitor the water quality of the aquifer (see figure). Well A is pumped with a discharge of 1000 m3/day while well B is only used as an observation well. Pumping well A will result in water surface drop of 2 m. Well A diameter = 2 m, Well B diameter = 0.5 m, Distance between the two wells (center to center) = 500 m, Soil Porosity = 30%. Answer the following questions. WELL B WELL A 2 m - Flow 20 m Confined aquifer
