No need to input units in final answer
A pumping test was carried out in a soil bed of thickness 15 m and the following measurements were recorded. Throughout the test, a pumping rate of 3.73 m³ in every five minutes was consistently maintained. Significant observations were made from wells positioned at distances of 15 m and 30 m from the center of pumping well, indicating drawdowns of 2.1 m and 1.8 m. respectively. The initial groundwater level was located at 1.9 m below ground level. Determine the hydraulic conductivity, k (cm/s).
