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
