Question

For a drinking and utility water facility, it is desired to pump water with a flow rate of 20 m³/hr from a well drilled in a pressurized aquifer with a thickness of 30 m. The hydraulic conductivity of this aquifer is estimated to be 0.0221 m/s. Level descents in two observation wells 120 m and 750 m away from this well were measured as 7.2 m and 1.7 m, respectively.
In order to be able to draw 20 m³/hour safely from this aquifer, the aquifer must be

A)Prove and interpret whether the hydraulic conductivity is correctly predicted

B)Calculate and interpret the transmission capacity of the aquifer according to the result we found for pulling 20 m³/hour
