a) A well for extracting water from a confined aquifer was installed at a site. The top of the confined aquifer was at a depth of 10 m and the bottom was at a depth of 17 m. When the well was first installed the water level rose to 3 m below the ground surface, prior to the installation of any pumps. Observation wells were installed 50 m and 150 m radially out from the centre of the extraction well. i) At a pumping rate of 3000 litres/hour the water levels in the observation wells were 5 m and 4 m below the ground surface, respectively. Calculate the coefficient of permeability of the confined aquifer. ii) Calculate the radius of influence of the extraction well. iii) What is the minimum depth that the observation wells would have to be installed to?
A confined aquifer has a transmissivity, T, of 30 m2/day and a storage coefficient, S, of 0.0008. A production well of radius, r, 0.2 m is pumped at 200 litres/min for 4 days and shut off. Calculate the maximum drawdown and the drawdown 10 days after the start of pumping at the well. Note: Calculate the result rounded to the second digit after the decimal point.

In a contaminated site, three monitoring wells (into the unconfined aquifer) have been developed. The east well (surface elevation: 254 m) measures a water level 30 m below the surface. The west well (surface elevation: 279 m) measures a water level 24 m below the surface. The south well (surface elevation: 266 m) measures a water level 41 m below the surface. Please plot the direction of the groundwater flow, and calculate the contaminant's velocity if the aquifer's hydraulic conductivity is 6 x 103 m/s and the porosity is 0.4.
