Question 1: (steady - confined - partially penetrating) A 20-cm diameter well, partially (50 %) penetrates (hp-B/2) confined aquifer of a saturated depth of the horizontal level is 23.4 m and is 29.25 m deep from the surface. Before the discharge, the water level within the well was 3.65 m from the surface. Under steady state pumping rate of 2.5 m³/min, the drawdown of the observation well which is 38.40 m away from the main well is si-3.60 m and the drawdown in the second observation well which is 159 m away from the main well (measured at the same instant) is $2=75cm. Determine the hydraulic conductivity 'K', the transmissivity 'T' and the extra drawdown As at the pumping well.

2. (a) A well in an aquifer is pumped over a long period at a rate of 0.05 m3 /s under approximate steady-state conditions. The steady-state drawdowns, from the water table level, at two observation wells at 25 m and 50 m from the abstraction well were observed to be 15.3m and 9.5m, respectively. If the saturated thickness of the aquifer prior to pumping is 80 m, determine the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer material. (b) Will the actual drawdown in the pumping well be more than the theoretical drawdown? If yes, why and what measures can you recommend for reducing the drawdown in the pumping well?
There are two identical groundwater pump facilities that is operating 6 kilometers apart. The hydraulic conductivity is 40m/day. Each pump well structure has a tube diameter of 75cm. The original water table has an elevation of 110 m. However, it is maintained that the maximum drawdown (at the tube) is 18m. The water table will not change at the midpoint between the two pump wells. Determine the drawdown at a point 2 km from the pump.
