Question

Using the table below, can you help me or show me how I would answer the following question. 

A confined aquifer with the top of the aquifer about 13.5 m below the surface. The aquifer is 5.5 m thick and is bounded by impervious rock below (forming the datum for the hydraulic head measurements) and a clay aquitard above. Analysis of the aquifer material reveals a bulk density of 1.75 g/cm3, porosity of 0.35 and 0.55% organic carbon. After a pumping test, you calculate that the transmissivity of the aquifer is 0.00025 m2/s and the storativity is 0.000055. What monitoring well(s) would you next expect to see toluene found in and in approximately how long? State any assumptions.
