Question

A 10 inches diameter well is drilled to the bottom of an unconfined aquifer. The water table is originally 500 ft above the bottom of the aquifer whose hydraulic conductivity is known to be 0.25 ft /day. If 100 gal/min is pumped from the well, what will be the equilibrium depth of the water in the well if the radius of influence is 1000 ft? How much drawdown should be expected at a distance of 250 ft from the well?

Answer 1

The pumping through confined aquifer is computed by Dupits theory . The drawdown in well is denated as the diffrence between intial and final pheratic line depth inside the soil. See the solution.
