Charyeong wants to determine the permeability of an aquifer. The aquifer has a 300 mm diameter test well that penetrates 27 m. below the static water table. After 24 hours of pumping at 61 liters/sec, the water level in an observation well 93.53 m. from the test well was lowered to 24.83 m. and the other observation well at 33.3 m. from the test well, was lowered to 23.02 m. Determine the coefficient of permeability of the aquifer in m/day.
