Three pumping wells along a straight line are spaced 200 m apart. What should be the steady
state pumping rate from each well so that the drawdown in each well will not exceed 2 m: The
transmissivity of the confined aquifer that all the wells penetrate fully is 2400 m2/day and all the
wells are 40 cm in diameter. Take the thickness of the aquifer b = 40 m and the radius of
influence of each well to be 800 m.
The distance between two pumping wells is 100 m. The transmissivity of the
confined aquifer, which all the wells fully penetrate, is 1000 m²/day. The radius of
influence of each well is 800 m. The pumping rate for Well #1 is 2400 m?/day and the
pumping rate for Well #2 is 1800 m³/day. Determine the steady-state drawdown at the
point P as shown in the figure below
