A 0.34 m diameter well fully penetrates an unconfined aquifer which is 33.2 m thick. The drawdown at the pumping well is 1.34 m and the permeability of the gravel aquifer is 4.32 * 10-3 m/s. If the flow is steady-state and the discharge is 422.3 lt/min, a- find the drawdown at the site 132.4 m from the center of the pumping well, b- determine the radius of influence ‘r∞’ of this well under that discharge.

A 12 inch diameter well was installed in an unconfined aquifer consisting of a 60 foot thick layer of sand. The water table was 15 feet below the ground surface before pumping of the well began. The well was then pumped at a rate of 30 gallons per minute and the water level in the well dropped to 45 feet below the ground surface after a steady-state condition was reached. The radius of well influence is 4000 feet. a) Calculate the permeability of the sand b) Compute and plot the drawdown surface
