Observational wells were drilled in a cone of depression of artesian (confined) well. The drawdown in the observational wells at 9 m and 18 m from the center of the well were found to be 12 m and 10 m, respectively. If the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is 2.5 mm/min and the pumping flow rate from the well is 407 m3/hr   

(i) Determine the thickness of the aquifer.

(ii) Find diameter of the well if the drawdown at the walls of the well is 19 m.

(iii) Find the distance from the well where the draw down equals to 0.5 m.

Two wells are drilled 50 m apart in an aquifer which has K = 0.05 cm /s. The original height of the phreatic surface above the aquiclude is 12.2 m. The wells are pumped at a rate of 10 L/s. It is estimated that the effect of the pumping extends a distance of 600 m from the center of the well group. Determine the shape of the drawdown curve. The well diameters are 0.5 m.

Your neighbor is planning an irrigation well near your property. You have asked him ensure the pumping will not cause more than 10 m of drawdown in your well. Your well penetrates the same confined aquifer and is located 300 m from the proposed irrigation well site. The aquifer is laterally extensive, homogeneous and isotropic with a transmissivity (T) of 407 m2/d and a storativity (S) of 1 x 10-5. a) What is the maximum rate he could continually pump...
