b) A water supply well has been drilled to a depth of 10m in the soil profile given in Question 1 and 2 observation wells have also been drilled at radial distances from the pump well of 5 and 10m respectively. If the co-efficient of permeability k of the SAND layer is 0.1 mm/sec, determine the yield from the well in litres /sec when the levels in the two observation wells are drawn down by 3 m and 2 m respectively.
