Observational wells were drilled in a cone of depression of artesian (confined) well, being pumped at the rate of 0.05 m³/s. The drawdown in the observational wells at
5 m and 15 m were found to be 8.5 m and 3.5 m respectively. Calculate ‘K’ of the aquifer if the average thickness of the aquifer is 80 m?
