Question 1: * A 300 mm diameter test well penetrates a 27 m thick sand layer below the static water table. After 24 hours of pumping at 50 liters per second, the water level in an observation well at a distance of 100 m from the test well is lowered 0.5 m. At another test well located 50 m from the test well, the water level dropped by 1.0 m. Estimate the rate of flow in cubic meters per day. Evaluate the coefficient of permeability of the aquifer in meters per day.

. A well is located 25 m away from a impervious boundary as shown in Figure Q4. The well diameter is 4 m and the drawdown at the well is 5 m. Hydraulic Conductivity is 2x10-4 m/s. If an observation well located at a distance of 50 m show a drawdown of 0.8 m calculate the drawdown at the impervious boundary.
FUNDAMENTALS OF GEOTECHNICAL ANALYSIS A fine sand sample is placed into a permeameter that supplies a constant head of 100 cm ofwater.

The results from Henry Darcy's first (10/29/1855-11/02/1855) and fifth (02/17/1856-02/18/1856) experiments are shown below. Using Darcy's Law, compute the hydraulic conductivity (in meters/day) of the two sands used in the experiments. Note: 0. Darcy's Law, Q = -K · A. Ah
A Venturi meter with a throat of 15 cm is used to measure the flow rate of water along a horizontal pipe that has an internal diameter of 17 cm. The flowmeter is calibrated using a solution of salt with a concentration of 10 gl–1 fed upstream of the meter at a rate of 50millilitres per second. If the pressure difference between the upstream position and the throat is found to be 759 Nm–2 A when a sample of salt-bearing water was analysed downstream from the flowmeter and found to be 15 mgl–1 , determine the flow rate of waterthrough the pipeline and the coefficient of discharge of the flowmeter.

A well of diameter 20 cm fully penetrates a confined aquifer. After a long period of pumping at a rate of 2720 litres per minute, the observations of drawndown taken at 10 m and 100 m distances from the center of the well are found to be 3 m and 0.5 m respectively. The transmissivity of the aquifer is
A 1-m diameter well penetrates vertically through a confined aquifer 30 cm thick. When the well is pumped at 113 m³/hr, the drawdown in a well 15 m away is 1.8 m, in another well 50 m away, it is 0.5 m. What is the approximate head in the pumped well for steady state conditions and what is the approximate drawdown in the well? Also compute the transmissivity of the aquifer and the radius of influence of the pumping well. Take the initial piezometric level as 40 m above the datum.
The static level of water table in an unconfined aquifer was 30 m above the underlying impermeablestratum. A 150 mm diameter well, penetrating the aquifer to its full depth, was pumped at the rate of20 liters per second. After several weeks of pumping, the drawdown in observation wells 20 m and 50m from the well were 3.5 m and 2 m respectively, and the observed drawdowns were increasing veryslowly (B.Sc., DU, 2012).a) Assuming equilibrium conditions, estimate the hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity of theaquifer.b) Estimate the drawdown just outside the pumped well.c) What will be the yield of a 300 mm diameter well which will produce the same drawdowns justoutside the well and at the 50 m distance observation well in (2)? What would be the drawdown at anearer observation well?
A well is constructed to pump water from a confined aquifer. Two observation wells, MW1 and MW2, are constructed at distances of 10 m and 100 m, respectively. Water is pumped from the pumping well at a rate of 0.8 m³/min. At steady state, drawdown is observed as 5 m in MW2 and 19 m in MW1. Note that drawdown is greater for well MW1 located closest to the pumping well. Determine the Transmissivity (cm²/s) if the aquifer is 40 m thick. (Please enter your answers with 2 decimals)
