Question

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 his well during the 200 day irrigation season without causing more than 10 m of drawdown in your well?Report your answer in m3/d. uW(u)9.2 x 10-611.00839.4 x 10-610.99762.8 x 10-612.20873.0 x 10-612.1970
