A sandy layer 20 m thick overlies an impervious stratum. The water table is in the sandy layer at a depth of 1.5 m below the ground surface. Water-is- pumped out from-a-well at the rate of 80 litres per second and the drawn down of the water table at radial distances of 4.0 m and 25.0 m is 3.0 and 0.50 m, respectively. Determine the coefficient of permeability.
