1) In a leaky confined aquifer, estimate how far from a well pumping at 175 m3/day a steady state drawdown of 0.4 m will be observed. Assume the aquifer is 10 m thick with a horizontal hydraulic conductivity of 7 m/day, the K' is 1 m/day and the b' is 1 m thick, the storativity of the aquifer, S, is 0.02.
2) For the conditions in problem 1, estimate the drawdown at this location after 15 minutes.
3) At the location you found for question 1, estimate the vertical water Darcy flux though the aquitard.

A well is pumping near a barrier boundary at a rate of 0.05 m3/s from a confined aquifer 20 m thick. The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is 5 x 10-4 m/s, and its storativity is 4 x 10-5.

A well is constructed in a confined aquifer. The aquifer has a uniform thickness of 50 ft overlain by a aquitard and the bottom is 115 ft below ground surface (bgs). A pumping test weas used to determine the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer. The initial piezometric (potentiometric) surface of the confined aquifer was 49 ft bgs at the pumping well and the observation wells. After water was pumped at a rate of 0.46 cu ft/sec for several days, the...
Question 5: (25 marks) A fully penetrating pumping well is located in a confined aquifer that can be considered to have an infinite extent in all directions. There is no recharge to the aquifer and no other pumping wells in the area. There are two observation wells located at 100 and 500 m, respectively, from the pumping wells. The aquifer and the pumping well have the following properties: Depth to top of aquifer: 50 m Aquifer thickness: 5 m Aquifer...
An aquifer test with a constant pumping rate of 200 gpm was conducted in a confined aquifer with a saturated thickness of 12 m. Head measurements in an observation well located 76.2 m (250 ft) from the pumping well yields the following plot.
