In order to have confidence in the results of a pumping test, the drawdown observations must be significantly greater than natural daily fluctuations of the water level in observation wells (+/- 0.15 m). If you then aim for a measured drawdown of 0.6 m after 12 hours in an observation well 100 m from the pumping well. What is the pumping rate you would recommend if T is expected to be about 4.8 x 103 m²/s and S about 2 × 10-4?
