Question

If the aquifer described in Problem 2 is not fully confined, but is overlain by a 8.0-ft-thick leaky, confining layer with a vertical hydraulic conductivity of 0.034 ft/d, what would be the drawdown values after 30 days of pumping at 165,000 ft3/d at the indicated distance?

 

Problem 2: A well that is screened in a confined aquifer is to be pumped at a rate of 165,000 ft3/d for 30d. If the aquifer transmissivity is 5320 ft2/day, and the storativity is 0.0007, what is the drawdown at distances of 50, 150, 250, 500, 1000, 3000, 5000, 10000 ft?
