Problem 1: The required water flow rate in the 6 cm diameter 30 meter long circular pipe in the diagram above is 12 liters per second. The water temperature is 4 °C and the flow discharges into the atmosphere at a pressure of PB = 100 kPa. The flow is fully developed turbulent flow and there is no elevation change. The surface of the wall has become degraded due to pitting and deposits such that there is a surface roughness with a height of 0.5 mm.

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
Pumping test was carried out in a layer of soil extending to a depth of 28 m. The initial position of water table is located 4 m below the ground. Observation wells were sighted 33.5 m & 97.5 m from the pumping well. Water is pump at 248.4 m3/hr and when steady level was attained, the drawdowns at the observation wells were observed to be 1.1 m and 0.54 m, respectively.
