After a long period of pumping from an unconfined aquifer at a constant rate of 850 m3/day, head is measured in the pumping well (r = 0.4 m, H = 9.9 m) and in a nearby monitoring well (r = 50 m, H = 18.4 m). The initial saturated thickness of the aquifer is 20 m.
Assuming steady-state conditions, compute the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer using Darcy's law. State your assumptions.

An engineer has been asked to investigate illegal pumping of groundwater from an unconfined aquifer. The maximum withdrawal rate for the well has been set by the State Water Resources Board at 30,000 ft/day. The water table far from the well is 20 f below the surface. The depth to the confining bed is 50 ft. Two observation wells have been installed near the pumping well to assess the groundwater withdrawal rate. The first well is located 100 ft from...

An unconfined aquifer has an initial thickness of 15.80 m. The initial water table is horizontal and located 4.7 m below the ground surface. A 15-cm diameter well is driven to the bottom of the aquifer and pumped at 3000 Lpm until steady state conditions are achieved. At this time the drawdown at the well is 4.35 m and the drawdown in an observation well located 850 m away is 0.12 m. (a) Make a sketch that defines the problem....

For an unconfined aquifer with uniform recharge problem, the
initial water table is 10 meters above the confining layer. Given
recharge rate from rainfall 50 cm/year, pumping rate 1000 m^3 /day,
aquifer hydraulic conductivity 10 m/day, calculate the effective
radius and calculate steady-state groundwater head at 100 meters
away from the pumping well.
