Question 5: (25 marks) A fully penetrating pumping well is located in a confined aquifer that can be considered to have an infinite extent in all directions. There is no recharge to the aquifer and no other pumping wells in the area. There are two observation wells located at 100 and 500 m, respectively, from the pumping wells. The aquifer and the pumping well have the following properties: Depth to top of aquifer: 50 m Aquifer thickness: 5 m Aquifer...
The drawdown doserved at a confined aquifer well after pumping it during 1400 minutes at a flow rate of 500 gal/min is 20.39 ft. The drawdowns observed at the same time at two observation wells located at 10 ft and 100 ft from the pumped well are 20 and 19.7 ft, respectively. Find the transmissivity of the aquifer and the well radius. Answ: T-8.8x105 gpd/ft, r-0.5 ft. 3.
1. (2 points) A well in a uniform, homogeneous, isotropic confined aquifer is pumped at a rate of 815 L/min. After 3 days it looks as if the water levels have stabilized in observation wells at distances of 20 m and 200 m from the pumping well. The drawdown in the well at 20 m is 6.5 m and the drawdown in the well at 200 m is 3.5 m. a) Use the Thiem solution to determine the aquifer transmissivity....
1) Three 610 mm wells are located on a straight line 304.8 m apart in an artesian aquifer With T- 3974 m^3/d/m and S 3 x 10^-5. The pumps are to be pumped for 10 days. Suppose we want to restrict the drawdown in each of the wells to 18.3m. What will be the coresponding discharge for the individual wells?

A well is pumping near a barrier boundary at a rate of 0.05 m3/s
from a confined aquifer 20 m thick. The hydraulic conductivity of
the aquifer is 5 x 10-4 m/s, and its storativity is 4 x 10-5.
Determine the drawdown in the observation well after 30 hours of
continuous pumping. What is the fraction of the drawdown
attributable to the barrier boundary?
