A pump extracts 0.12 m^3/s of groundwater. One observation well that is 600m away from the pump shows a drawdown of 0.5m from the original water table of 120m elevation. The hydraulic conductivity of the system is 38m/day. A. Determine the elevation of water table at the pump casing with diameter of 50cm. B. Determine how far in meters from the pump its influence or no drawdown effect on water table.
