QUESTION 1Calculate the transmissivity of an artesian aquifer that has a thickness of5.5 m and is pumped at a rate of 1.52 m³/min. There are two observationwells located at 150 m and 280 m away withdrawdowns of 0.8 and 0.72 m respectively.(15)QUESTION 2An aquifer has T = 175 m²/day, S = 1.3 x104, and provides a flow of 20L/s to a well. Find the drawdown at the two observation wells located 15and 65 m from the producing well after 1 day, 2months, 10 months and 2 years.(15)

Concept explainers

Groundwater Flow

The term groundwater refers to the water which is found beneath the earth's surface. Pores present in the soil and rocks with fractures make a passage for rainwater to enter the earth's surface and deposit as groundwater. The flow nature and direction of groundwater under the earth's surface directly impacts the strength and compressibility of the soil, which reflects its ability to support structural loads.

Yuri wants to determine the permeability of an aquifer. The aquifer has a test well 300-mm in diameter with two observation wells. A pumping test was conducted for 24 hours with the discharge being held constant at 5,896.3 m^3/day. The first one, 82.87 meters from the test well, has a draw-down of 0.86 meters. The second one, 44 meters from the test well, has a draw-down of 1.21 meters.The static water table penetrates the well to a depth of 28 meters. Determine the radius of influence of the aquifer in meters. Round off to three decimal places.
