A permeability pumping test was carried out in unconfined aquifer with the piezometric level before pumping is 2.18m below the ground surface. The first permeable layer has a thickness of 5.7m measured from the ground surface and the unconfined aquifer is 7.0m deep until reaches the aquiclude at the bottom. At a steady pumping rate of 15.6m^3/hr the drawdown in the observation wells were respectively equal to 1.62m and 0.47m. The distance of the observation wells from the center of the test well were 15m and 32m respectively. Compute the Transmissibility?
