A pumping well extracts water at a rate of 0.94 ML/d from an unconfined, homogeneous aquifer of hydraulic conductivity 13.8 m/d. An observation well at 247.8 m from the well has a steady-state water level of 252.4 m AHD. The base of the aquifer is 174.3 m AHD. Ignoring any rainfall recharge, what would be the watertable elevation at the edge of the well, assuming the well is 161 mm in diameter
