Asking for a solution please
A pumping test was made in a sand layer extending to a depth of 16m. The initial groundwater table was located 2m below the ground surface. Observation wells were sighted at distances 4m and 9.5m from the pumping well. Using a discharge of 0.4 cubic meters per hour, a steady level is attained at the pumping well. The measured drawdowns at the two observation wells are 2m and 0.25m respectively. Solve the hydraulic head 5m from the pumping well.
