Question

The artesian aquifer is 15 m thick with a piezometric surface 40 m above the bottom confining layer. The aquifer is a limestone. After 300 days of pumping, the drawdown at a nonpumping well 150 m from the pumping well is 1.5 m. The pumping well is 1 m in diameter. Assuming a typical hydraulic conductivity for limestone and a 1.5 m safety factor, determine the maximum allowable sustained pumping rate.

Answer 1
