A well of 0.5 m diameter penetrates an unconfined aquifer with thickness of H below the static water level. The value of discharge pumped from a well is equal to 2.2 lit/sec and the drawdown at the observation wells at 15m, 35m from pumping well are 1.8m, 0.6m respectively. If the rate of rainfall is 1.5 mm/hr, K-0.7 m/day, determine: 1- The transmissivity of the aquifer. 2- The radius of influence of the pumping well.
