1. Drawdown at a 0.20 m diameter, fully-penetrating well, which has been pumping at a steady rate of 2500 m3/day for a long time, is determined to be 1.2 m. Drawdown at an observation well 10 m away is 0.90 m.

a. The aquifer is unconfined with a hydraulic head far from the well of 10.0 m. Determine the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer.

b. How would your answer change if your aquifer was confined and 3 m in thickness? Assume that the hydraulic head data from    (a) remains true.

c. Would a wetland 250 m away from the well be affected? Assume that a drawdown at the wetland of more than 0.10 m is    unacceptable.

There are other problems up that are similar but nothing extremely close. I'm quite confused. Thank you for the help.

An unconfined aquifer is 25 m thick. Groundwater is being pumped out from a 0.10 m diameter fully penetrating well. The pumping rate is Qp=0.15 m3 /min. The aquifer is relatively sandy with a hydraulic conductivity of 8.2 m/d. Steady-state drawdown of 1.5 m is observed in a monitoring well 3 m away from the pumping well. Estimate (a) the drawdown 10 m away from the pumping well, (b) the drawdown in the pumping well.
