Question

Find the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer in units of ft/day and find the radius of influence for this pumping well in ft. 

A single well exists in an ideal unconfined aquifer. The pumping well has a flow rate of 200 gpm and an effective well radius of 0.60 ft. An observation well was placed 85 ft
away from the centerline of the pumping well. The pumping well has been on long enough for equilibrium to be achieved, and drawdowns at the two wells were as shown
in the figure below. The sketch is not to scale.
